Abstract:

Child abuse or maltreatment includes physical and mental harm, sexual abuse, neglect, careless care, and many kinds of exploitation that put a child's health, growth, dignity, and life at risk. Such abuse has serious and long-lasting effects, making it more likely that people will have problems with their bodies, minds, relationships, trust, and responsible behaviour later in life. Schools are very important for helping kids make friends and stay safe from abuse because they provide a safe, supportive place to learn. But a lot of schools don't have enough qualified staff or resources to teach kids how to avoid being abused. The goal of this study was to find out how well a video teaching package worked to teach school kids about socialisation and how to stop child abuse. An experimental research design was utilised, involving 60 youngsters chosen by simple random sampling. Data were gathered using a standardised questionnaire and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that the intervention led to a big increase in knowledge. After the test, 85% of the kids showed they knew enough, 15% showed they knew a little, and none showed they didn't know enough. The average post-test score was 20.38 ± 4.49, equivalent to 67.94%. A paired t-test value of 14.767 (p = 0.012) validated the efficacy of the video instruction method.
