Abstract

Aim: This study aims to assess existing knowledge of child abuse among school-aged children and evaluate the effectiveness of slideshow-assisted teaching on this topic.

Context: School-aged children can gain significant knowledge about child abuse through slideshow-assisted teaching.

Participants and Method: A quantitative approach was employed in this pre-experimental study, utilizing a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research was conducted at MSJM School, employing a systematic random sampling technique with a sample size of 200 participants. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire covering demographic variables. Pretest and posttest assessments were conducted, and the data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including frequency, mean, standard deviation, paired t-test, and chi-square test.

Statistical Analysis Used: Data were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics, calculating frequency, mean, standard deviation, paired t-test, and chi-square test.

Findings: The study revealed that among school-age children, the pretest mean knowledge score was 9.38, while the posttest mean score increased to 17.12. This resulted in a mean difference of 7.74, indicating a significant improvement. The standard deviations were 2.59 for the pretest and 1.17 for the posttest. The calculated paired t-value was 38.31, confirming the effectiveness of slideshow-assisted teaching on child abuse in enhancing the knowledge of school-age children.

Additionally, the findings indicated a significant association between pretest knowledge levels and certain demographic variables, such as the education of the parents and the source of information. However, no significant association was found between pretest knowledge scores and demographic factors like age, religion, family living status, or type of family.
