Background & aim: Children are among the most vulnerable groups in society who are always threatened by the danger of being abused by various people. Mothers are the most important reliable source of information for children. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of two methods of group education and education by multimedia compact disk (CD) on mothers’ knowledge and attitude about child sexual abuse.
Methods: In this clinical trial, 100 mothers of children under 18 who had a medical record at health centers of Isfahan province were selected. Participants were allocated into two groups of group education and education with multimedia CD and trained about the definition, prevalence, diagnosis, prevention and management of child sexual abuse. Data were collected by a researcher-made questionnaire which completed before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS19 software.
Results: The mean score of knowledge and attitude of mothers about child sexual abuse had a statistically significant increase after the intervention in group education and also in the multimedia CD group compared to before the intervention (p<0.001). No significant difference was observed between two groups in the mean scores of knowledge and attitude of mothers about child sexual abuse after intervention.
Conclusion: Group education and education with multimedia CD were effective in improving the knowledge and attitude of mothers about child sexual abuse. Therefore, considering the benefits of educating with multimedia CD including its affordability and the possibility of using at any time, it is recommended to be used for mothers’ education programs.
