The purpose of this study was to find out the effects of education for prevention of child sexual abuse (rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment etc.) of children in elementary school students. Incidences of sexual abuse in Korea is ranked 3rd in the world. Sexual abuse of children, particularly, is one of the most serious crimes that affect both the victimized children and their family. The issue related to sexual abuse of children has been ignored, and there is a lack of systematic education to prevent sexual abuse of children either for children or their parents. Furthermore, lack of knowledge and poor attitude of teachers limit their capability to provide education for sexual abuse prevention to the children. The education for teachers may change their knowledge of the sexual abuse and their attitude toward it and improve their capability in helping children. 223 Korean elementary school students participated in this study. Research design was One group pretest-posttest design. The education given to the subjects included 4 hours through the multimedia CD-ROM on the prevention of child sexual abuse. The education program was developed based on a survey. School- aged- children, parents, and teachers were interviewed to reveal their educational needs based on their experiences related to sexual abuse. This program includes such as safety education, crisis management, resource person(s), and phone numbers of available hospital. Data was collected before, during and after the education was given to the subjects, to assess their knowledge and attitude toward child sexual abuse. Two instruments were used in this study. Using Cronbach's ALPHA validity and reliability of 2 instruments were tested. The analysis of the data was done with Window SPSS 10.0 for descriptive statistics, t-test and ANOVA. The results of this analysis were as follows : 1. After education, the score of school nurses knowledge was higher than before(t= -4.677, p=0.000). 2. After education, the score of school nurses attitude was not higher than before (t=0.131, p=0.896). The findings from this study will provide an intervention strategy for prevention of sexual abuse in children.

본 연구의 목적은 일개 지역 소아병동 간호사들의 아동학대에 대한 인식 및 신고태도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하는데 있다. 소아병동에 근무하는 학대의심 아동 간호 유경험자 중 아동학대 신고율이 매우 저조하며 신고하지 않은 이유로는 절반 이상이 학대의 정도가 심하지 않거나 증거 부족을 사유로 들었다. 아동학대 발생에 대한 소아병동 간호사의 제 특성에 따른 인식은 '학력'(X2=16.52, p=.011)에 따라, 신고 태도는 '연령'(X2=13.64, p=.034)에 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 소아병동 간호사들 대상으로 아동학대 중재 프로그램 개발 및 아동학대 사정도구 개발이 요구되며 아동학대 예방 교육과 체계가 마련되어 학대 아동에 대한 사례 신고 보편화와 아동학대 예방 체계가 활성화될 필요가 있다.

Child abuse is defined by a recent act or failure to act that results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse or exploitation, or imminent risk of serious harm; involved a child; and is carried out by a parent or caregiver. This report provides guidance in the clinical approach to the evaluation of suspected physical abuse in children, and role of pediatrician. The medical assessment is outlined with obtaining a medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic testing. A minor form of child abuse which only involves skin injury is most frequently seen by a pediatrician. This kind of child abuse can be followed by more severe forms of child abuse, which have high mortality rates and cause serious physical and mental sequelae to the survivor. Therefore, a pediatrician's role in an early detection and prevention of child abuse is very important.

이 연구는 학부모와 유아교사의 아동학대에 대한 인식 차이를 분석하고자 G 지역 유아교육기관에 소속된 학부모와 유아교사를 연구대상으로 설문지 조사를 실시하였다. 아동학대(신체, 언어, 정서 및 사고, 방임, 예방대책, 개선방안)에 관한 항목으로 질문하여 얻어진 자료는 SPSS 21.0 프로그램을 이용해 빈도와 백분율, 평균과 표준편차를 계산하여 t검정과 ${\chi}^2$ 검정을 실시하였다. 이를 통해 얻은 연구결과는 첫째, 아동학대에 대한 인식차이는 학부모보다 유아교사가 더 높게 나타났다. 하위내용에 대한 인식은 학부모와 유아교사 모두 방임, 신체, 정서 및 사고, 언어 순이다. 둘째, 예방대책에 대해서는 인식 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났는데, 하위내용 중 아동학대 예방교육의 경험유무와 참여세미나 교육에 대해서는 학부모가 더 높게 인식하였고, 아동학대 예방교육의 인지도와 만족도, 아동보호 전문기관의 법적 역할과 기능에 대한 정보 인지도, 아동학대 신고 의무화 및 의무자의 인지도는 유아교사가 더 높게 인식하였다. 셋째, 아동학대 개선방안에 대해서도 인식 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났는데, 하위내용 중 아동학대 예방교육 실시와 자료 제공, 대중매체를 통한 아동학대 실태 및 대책 홍보, 대중매체를 활용한 아동학대 예방교육 확대, 아동학대 신고 의무자들의 의무교육에 대해서는 유아교사가 더 높게 인식하였다. 이러한 결과를 통해 학부모와 유아교사의 아동학대 예방에 대한 이해와 인식의 기초자료를 제공해 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
