Abstract

Purpose: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to provide basic data to develop sexual abuse prevention educational programs for elementary school students. Method: Ninety three third, fourth, fifth, and sixth grade elementary school students were interviewed for content analysis on sexual abuse. Results: The content recognized by elementary school students about sexual abuse was as follows: 1) The concepts of sexual abuse were `compulsory contact`, `harassment`, `school violence`, `pornography`, `unpleasant sexual behavior` `crime`, and `don`t know`. 2) The causes of sexual abuse were `intolerance of impulse`, `play`, `bullying`, `financial needs`, `home education and the environment`, `negligence of the victim`, and `don`t know`. 3) The methods how to prevent and deal with sexual abuse were `sexual education`, `avoidance of danger`, `protection`, `self-assertion`, `treat with kindness`, `strengthening of penalties`, `asking for help and notification`, `report`, `treatment and counselling`, `escaping`, and `don`t know` 4) Educational needs for prevention of sexual abuse were `more detailed sexual abuse prevention education`, `how to recognize sexual abuse`, `how to protect oneself`, `interpersonal relationship`, `practical education`, and `none`. Conclusion: These results suggest that based on elementary school students` recognition of sexual abuse, a sexual abuse prevention educational program and content should be organized.
