摘要

每10个孩子中就有一个在18岁生日前遭受性侵;大约七分之一的女孩和二十五分之一的男孩在18岁之前会遭受性虐待。尽管世界上低收入和中等收入国家逐渐开始报告儿童性虐待案件,但统计数据仍在继续增加。目的:本研究旨在评估木新地方政府所选中学青少年对性侵犯的认知及感知效果。方法:采用多阶段随机抽样方法,从木新县政府选定的中学中抽取414名调查对象参与研究。采用自行设计的问卷收集数据。数据分析采用Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 26,双变量分析采用卡方检验。结果:半数以上的青少年年龄在15-17岁之间,以女性居多。除此之外,略高于一半的参与者是基督徒,略低于一半的学生在sss2。此外,超过一半的参与者是约鲁巴人,超过一半的人来自核心家庭。只有大约一半的青少年对性虐待有很好的了解。在关联测量中,性侵犯知识水平与性侵犯感知效果之间的关系具有统计学意义。青少年对性虐待影响的认知与他们对常见性虐待形式的概念之间的关系也具有统计学意义。结论:本研究揭示了被研究青少年对性虐待有一定的认识,这种认识决定了他们对性虐待影响的认知,进而决定了他们对儿童性虐待的认识。因此,有必要加强努力,对儿童和青少年进行关于性虐待的教育和再教育,以及如何识别性虐待,以及如何通过运动和健康宣传活动预防性虐待。

Knowledge and Perceived Effect of Sexual Abuse Among Adolescents in Selected Secondary Schools in Mushin Local Government, Lagos
Introduction: One in 10 children would be sexually abused before their 18th birthday; about one in seven girls and one in 25 boys would be sexually abused before they turn 18. The statistics continues to increase even as low and middle-income nations of the world are gradually coming out to report cases of child sexual abuse. Aim: This study aimed to assess the knowledge and perceived effect of sexual abuse among adolescents attending selected secondary schools in Mushin Local Government. Methods: 414 respondents from selected secondary schools in Mushin Local Government participated in the study using the multistage random sampling technique. A self-designed questionnaire was used to collect data. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 26 and bivariate analysis was conducted using Chi-square test. Results: More than half of the adolescents fall within the age range of 15–17 years and majority were females. In addition to this, just a little above half of the participants were Christians and just below half of the students were in SSS 2. Also, more than half of the participants were Yorubas and well above half were from a nuclear family. Just about half of the adolescents have good knowledge about sexual abuse. In the measures of association, the relationship between the level of knowledge of sexual abuse and the perceived effect of sexual abuse was statistically significant. The relationship between adolescents’ perception of the effect of sexual abuse and their concept of the common forms of sexual abuse was also statistically significant. Conclusion: This study revealed that the adolescents under study had knowledge about sexual abuse and this knowledge determined their perception of the effect of sexual abuse, and this in turn determines what they consider as child sexual abuse. It is therefore necessary to intensify efforts on educating and re-educating children and adolescents on sexual abuse, how to identify it and how to prevent it through campaigns and health promotional activities.
