“…In Bayley et al [45] study based on the Theory of planned behavior, attitude predicted the intention. Results of the present study are in good agreement with the results of Sanberk et al [46], who investigated the attitude of Turkish mothers having a child with the age of 48-66 months and revealed that educational intervention caused the increase in participants' attitude, and also with the study of Khani Jeihooni et al [47] who studied prevention behaviors from sexually transmitted diseases. Nagpal et al [3] indicated that important changes had been created in parents' attitudes toward sexual training in children, and in recent years, parents' attitudes have changed from negative to The mean score of perceived behavioral control had significant enhancement in the experimental group 3 months after the intervention, while the control group had no changes.…”

Methods This study was a quasi-experimental intervention with a control group. 200 mothers of children aged 5 to 6 years in Fasa preschool were selected using a multi-stage random sampling method and were divided into two groups of intervention (100) and control (100). After providing a pre-test to both groups, only the experimental group received training on sexual care of children's abilities based on the Theory of Planned Behavior constructs. The educational intervention consisted of seven 55–60-minute sessions in which the presenter gave a presentation, asked and answered questions, and used posters, brochures, films, animations, and PowerPoints. Both groups completed the questionnaire three months following the intervention. A questionnaire and Theory of planned behavior constructs were used to collect information. The data was analyzed with SPSS22 software using paired t-tests, Chi-square tests, and independent t-tests, with a significance level of 0.05. Results Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in the constructs of theTheory of planned behavior between the two groups ( p >0.05), but after the intervention, knowledge scores from 8.33±2.97 to 20.67±2.84, attitude scores from 29.80±4.27 to 62.22±4.34, subjective norms from 20.12±4.55 to 42.28±4.20, perceived behavioral control from 20.24±4.36 to 42.88±4.52, behavioral intention from 3.24±1.60 to 7.44±1.59 and behavior from 2.98±1.13 to 8.14±1.08 in the intervention group ( p < 0.001).

BACKGROUND: Today, one of the biggest concerns of parents is protecting their children and properly educating them about sex. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of educational intervention on parental skills in sex education on their children in elementary schools in the northwest of Tehran-Iran in 2019 based on literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 125 parents of elementary schoolchildren in the northwestern of Tehran. The data were collected by valid and reliable questionnaire. Before the intervention, two intervention and control groups filled up the pretest questionnaire; the data were collected by valid and reliable questionnaire. Before the intervention, two intervention and control groups filled the pretest questionnaire, and then the parents participated in the educational program based on dramatic literature. Two months later, the same questionnaire was completed by the control and intervention groups. Finally, the data were analyzed by regression and one-way ANOVA test. RESULTS: The results showed that there was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of knowledge in the experimental and control groups in the posttest ( P < 0.01). There was also a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of attitude in the experimental and control groups at the posttest stage ( P < 0.01). There was also a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of performance based on group membership (experimental group and control group) in the posttest phase ( P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: The findings of the study showed that educational intervention on parental skills in sex education based on the dramatic literature to their children has significant effect on parental knowledge, attitude, and performance.

“…Discussing inappropriate issues about sexuality with children are considered that it may increase the potential of child abuse (Kucuk, 2016). It is stated that the word "sexual" occurs only once in preschool curriculum textbooks of the Turkish Ministry of National Education and this is while defining sexual abuse (Sanberk et al, 2017). As sexuality is a taboo concept, it is difficult for children to comprehend.…”

“…A study conducted in Turkey found that 75% of CSA victims delay reporting the incident (Koçtürk & Yüksel, 2018). In Turkey, a standard program for the prevention of CSA is not included as a part of the preschool curriculum (Sanberk et al, 2017). All such findings show that there is a need for children to acquire skills to protect against sexual abuse in Turkey.…”

The study focuses on the impact of the creative drama method on child sexual abuse (CSA) prevention program in Turkey. A pretest-posttest experimental design with a control group was used in the study. The research was carried out with a total of 72 preschool children aged 3-6 years. Data were collected by What If Situations Test (WIST).A creative drama activity was conducted for the experimental group before training. Body Safety Training (BST) was used in both groups. The average WIST posttest scores were statistically significantly higher compared to pretest scores for the children in both groups (p < .05). A comparison of pretest and posttest assessment found that there was no statistically significant difference (p > .05) between the two groups in regard to the WIST assessment averages. BST Program has a positive impact on increasing personal safety skills when implemented together with creative drama activities.
