Abstract

Considering the emphasis on parent-led sexual abuse education (PLSAE) in child sexual abuse (CSA) prevention, and the imperative of prevention in families living with demonstrated risk factors, it is important to understand the extent to which this group delivers PLSAE to their children, whether this is associated with any barriers or facilitators, whether parents are engaging in other protective behaviors (such as monitoring and involvement) and the relationship between these variables and other risk factors such as parent and child symptomology. We surveyed 117 parents, with children ranging in age from 25-89 months (67% boys), attending a parenting program for assistance with a range of parenting difficulties and child behavior problems from 2020-22. A large majority of parents reported not giving their children comprehensive prevention messages, discussing body integrity and abduction dangers to a greater extent. PLSAE was significantly positively associated with child internalizing and externalizing symptoms; parent and child age; and discussion of body integrity and abduction. However, PLSAE was not associated with any other measured variables (protective parenting; CSA knowledge; parenting self-efficacy; general and own-child risk appraisal; parent burnout, stress, depression or anxiety; child diagnosis; parental education level; employment or marital status; or income). The current findings suggest that investing resources into increasing parental knowledge, risk perception and confidence may be misguided. Future endeavors should consider helping parents be protective in other ways, for example, through the creation of safe environments and reducing the risks of CSA.

在有风险的父母中父母主导的性虐待教育:与养育实践和父母与儿童症状的联系。
考虑到在儿童性虐待(CSA)预防中强调家长主导的性虐待教育(PLSAE),以及在存在已证实的风险因素的家庭中进行预防的必要性,了解这个群体向他们的孩子提供PLSAE的程度是很重要的,无论这是否与任何障碍或促进者有关。父母是否参与其他保护行为(如监控和参与)以及这些变量与其他风险因素(如父母和儿童症状)之间的关系。我们调查了117名父母,他们的孩子年龄在25-89个月之间(67%是男孩),他们在2020- 2022年期间参加了一个育儿项目,以帮助解决一系列育儿困难和儿童行为问题。绝大多数家长报告说,他们没有给孩子提供全面的预防信息,更多地讨论身体完整性和绑架的危险。PLSAE与儿童内化和外化症状显著正相关;父母及子女年龄;以及关于身体完整性和绑架的讨论。然而,PLSAE与任何其他测量变量(保护性养育;CSA知识;养育自我效能感;一般和自己的孩子的风险评估;父母倦怠、压力、抑郁或焦虑;儿童的诊断;父母教育程度;就业或婚姻状况;或收入)。目前的研究结果表明,将资源投入到提高父母的知识、风险认知和信心上可能是错误的。未来的努力应该考虑通过其他方式帮助父母保护孩子,例如,通过创造安全的环境和减少CSA的风险。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Child Sexual Abuse is interdisciplinary and provides an essential interface for researchers, academicians, attorneys, clinicians, and practitioners. The journal advocates for increased networking in the sexual abuse field, greater dissemination of information and research, a higher priority for this international epidemic, and development of effective assessment, intervention, and prevention programs. Divided into sections to provide clear information, the journal covers research issues, clinical issues, legal issues, prevention programs, case studies, and brief reports, focusing on three subject groups - child and adolescent victims of sexual abuse or incest, adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse or incest, and sexual abuse or incest offenders.
