Abstract

A pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test study was conducted at Nigamananda High School, Choudwar, to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured teaching programme (STP) on knowledge regarding prevention of sexual abuse among female students aged 10–16 years. Sixty participants were selected by systematic random sampling. Data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire assessing demographic variables and knowledge of sexual abuse prevention. Following the pre-test, an STP using PowerPoint slides was delivered in small groups. Post-test data showed a significant increase in knowledge scores (mean pre-test = 10.55 ± 3.13; mean post-test = 18.9 ± 4.46; t = 15.8, p < 0.001). No significant association was found between post-test knowledge and selected demographic variables. The study concludes that structured teaching is effective in improving knowledge of sexual abuse prevention among high school girls.
