The purpose of this study was to investigate the cultural adaptation and validation of the Children's Knowledge of Abuse Questionnaire (CKAQ-RIII). This tool, which is used in Iranian primary schools, examines children's understanding of the concepts of sexual abuse.
A sample of 80 primary school children between 8 and 12 years of age was selected from schools in Iran. The questionnaire was administered three times: before and immediately after the Child Abuse Prevention Program and at the three-month follow-up assessment.
The included children (n=80) completed the Persian version of the CKAQ-RIII during the three-month follow-up. The internal consistency of the CKAQ-RIII was high for the Inappropriate Touch Scale (ITS) and moderate for the Appropriate Touch Scale (ATS). Analysis of the Pearson correlation coefficients indicated a strong relationship between the ITS and ATS and the overall scores. The mixed-design analysis of variance (ANOVA) on the ITS showed that the children's knowledge increased after the intervention. In general, higher scores were observed for children in the fifth and sixth grades (11 to 12 years old) after the intervention, indicating greater concept knowledge. Repeated measures ANOVA was also performed on the ATS, which showed a significant increase in children's knowledge.
The Persian version of the CKAQ-RIII is an effective and reliable tool for assessing the level of knowledge of the concepts of sexual abuse in Iran.
本研究旨在调查儿童虐待知识问卷(CKAQ-RIII)的文化适应性和验证。该工具用于伊朗小学,用于检查儿童对性虐待概念的理解。
从伊朗学校中选取了 80 名 8 至 12 岁的小学生作为样本。问卷分三次进行:在儿童虐待预防计划之前、之后立即以及三个月随访评估时进行。
在三个月随访期间,纳入的 80 名儿童(n=80)完成了波斯语版的 CKAQ-RIII。CKAQ-RIII 的内部一致性对于不适当触摸量表(ITS)较高,对于适当触摸量表(ATS)则为中度。皮尔逊相关系数分析表明,ITS 和 ATS 与总分之间存在很强的关系。对 ITS 的混合设计方差分析(ANOVA)表明,干预后儿童的知识有所增加。总体而言,干预后五、六年级(11 至 12 岁)的儿童得分较高,表明概念知识更多。对 ATS 也进行了重复测量方差分析,结果显示儿童的知识有显著提高。
波斯语版的 CKAQ-RIII 是评估伊朗儿童性虐待概念知识水平的有效可靠工具。
