Abstract :
Child abuse is a global issue that can be witnessed in families across the world. According to childhelp.org, “Child abuse is when a parent or caregiver, whether through action or failing to act, causes injury, death, emotional harm or risk of serious harm to a child.” Therefore, a study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of video assisted teaching programme (VATP) on level of knowledge regarding prevention of sexual abuse among Schoolers at selected schools of Jabalpur.
Methodology-A pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test design was used to evaluate the effectiveness of video assisted teaching on knowledge regarding prevention of sexual abuse among schoolers in selected schools of Jabalpur. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 60 samples of 6th and 7th standard of selected schools of Jabalpur.
Result: The findings of the study shows that mean post-test knowledge score 23.5 (SD= 3.79) is higher than the mean pretest knowledge score 12.08 (SD=3.35). The overall mean score was 11.42 with paired ‘t’ value of 7.514. Thus, it was revealed that the post-test mean score was significantly higher than the pre-test mean score. The table value of paired ‘t’ test at 0.05 level of significance and 59 degree of freedom is 2.00.
