Abstract:

Objective　To explore the influence and correlation of parents' attitude toward sex education on children's sexual knowledge, to improve children's sexual knowledge and self-protection literacy, and to reduce the incidence rate of child sexual assault cases. Methods　From August to December 2024, one school was randomly selected from each of the 2 districts, 1 county, and 2 county-level cities in Deyang City as the sampling units. The 6-12 years old children and their parents were selected as the research objects. The General Information Questionnaire, Parents' Attitude toward Sex Education Scale, and Children's Sexual Knowledge Scale were used for the investigation. Results　The total score of the parents' attitude toward sex education was 63.92±5.31, and the score of the children's sexual knowledge was 12.37±1.15. The Pearson correlation analysis revealed that the parents' attitude toward sex education was positively correlated with the children's total sexual knowledge score, reproductive physiology, pregnancy and contraception, and sexual harassment and assault (r=0.405, 0.387, 0.472, and 0.423; all P<0.01). The results indicated that the primary caregiver, mother's education level, whether kindergarten-based sex education was provided, and parents' positive attitude toward sex education were the influencing factors of the children's sexual knowledge level(all P<0.05). Conclusions　Parents' positive attitude toward sex education is positively correlated with children's sexual knowledge level (reproductive physiology, pregnancy and contraception, sexual harassment and assault, etc.). Children's sexual knowledge level is also influenced by their primary caregivers, their mothers' education level, and kindergarten-based sex education. It is recommended to strengthen parents' awareness and knowledge of sex education, especially their attitude toward sex education, and to promote cooperation between schools and families, so as to provide children with scientific and comprehensive sex education.

摘要：

目的　探讨父母性教育态度对儿童性知识的影响及相关性，为增强儿童的性知识来提高自我保护素养，降低儿童性侵害案件发生概率。方法　于2024年8月至12月间以从德阳市2区、1县、2县级市中，各随机抽取1所学校为抽样单位，抽取处于小学阶段（6～12岁）的儿童及其父母作为研究对象，采用一般资料调查表、父母性教育态度量表、子女性知识量表进行调查。结果　父母性教育态度总分为（63.92±5.31）分，儿童性知识得分为（12.37±1.15）分；Pearson相关性分析显示，父母性教育态度与儿童性知识水平总分及其各维度得分均呈正相关性（r值分别为：总分0.405、生殖生理0.387、怀孕避孕0.472、性骚扰及性侵害0.423，均P<0.01）。结果显示，主要照顾者、母亲文化程度、幼儿园是否开展过幼儿性教育、父母性教育态度是否积极是儿童性知识水平的影响因素（均P<0.05）。结论　父母在性教育方面的积极态度与儿童在性知识各个维度（生殖生理、怀孕避孕、性骚扰及性侵害等）的得分呈正相关。此外，儿童性知识水平还受到主要照顾者、母亲文化程度、是否参加过幼儿性教育等因素的影响。因此，建议加强父母性教育意识与知识的普及，特别是提升父母的性教育态度，同时促进学校和家庭合作，共同为儿童提供科学、全面的性教育。
