About

In the study, it was aimed to examine the effect of nurse-led body protection education on the sexual abuse knowledge levels of students with visual impairments.

Full description

Children with visual impairments form a risky group in terms of abuse as they are more dependent in relation to providing self-care compared to children with visually healthy and they use their sense of touch in communicating with the environment. The 53 students with visual impairments were randomly assigned to the intervention group and the control group. The study data were collected through children's knowledge of abuse questionnaire - revised with the subdimensions of good touch and bad touch. Nurse-led body protection education was provided to the intervention group in groups of 3-4 in 40 minutes. The education was provided as verbal narration by using a doll and distress whistle. In addition, two weeks after the post-test, a reminder education brochure prepared with the braille alphabet was distributed to the students in the intervention group.
