ABSTRACT

The research aimed at assessing Muhammadiyah Elementary Schools’ children’s knowledge and skill in protecting themselves from CSA by analyzing them based on gender. It applied a quantitative method with descriptive statistical and inferential analysis designs. The samples amounted to 301 fifth-grade students from 10 Muhammadiyah Elementary Schools in Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia. They were asked to complete the questionnaires of the “What If” Situation Test (WIST-III), adapted to an Indonesian context. When testing comprehension of touching situations, it was found that less than half of the respondents could identify appropriate touching situations (42%, M = 1.99, SD = ±1.04). There was a significant difference in the appropriate touching situation between males (M = 2.26, SD = ±1.9) and females (M = 1.76, SD = ±1.09). However, the ability to tell someone about the sexual abuse incident was very low, and a significant difference was found between females (p = .029, M = 1.7, SD = ± 2.3) and males (p = .029, M = 1.55, SD = ± 2.11). Only two per cent of the children achieved the maximum skills score. A CSA preventive program must be focused on building and developing children with regards to the skills to protect themselves from CSA by referring to cultural and Islamic values.

摘要

该研究旨在通过根据性别对儿童进行评估，从而评估穆罕默迪亚小学的儿童保护自己免受CSA侵害的知识和技能。它采用了具有描述性统计和推论分析设计的定量方法。样本来自印度尼西亚中爪哇省苏拉卡尔塔的10个穆罕默迪亚小学的301名五年级学生。他们被要求完成针对印尼情况的“假设”情况测试（WIST-III）的问卷。在测试对触摸情况的理解时，发现不到一半的受访者可以识别适当的触摸情况（42％，M = 1.99，SD =±1.04）。男性（M = 2.26，SD =±1.9）和女性（M = 1.76，SD =±1.09）之间的适当接触情况存在显着差异。然而，p = .029，M = 1.7，SD =±2.3）和男性（p = .029，M = 1.55，SD =±2.11）。仅有2％的儿童达到了最高技能得分。CSA预防计划必须集中于培养和发展儿童方面，包括通过提及文化和伊斯兰价值观来保护自己免受CSA侵害的技能。
