| description | Objective: To determine the extent to which preschool-aged boys and girls can benefit from instruction in personal safety.
Method: Data compiled from five previous studies were employed. Four hundred and six preschoolers were pretested and participated in either the Behavioral Skills Training program (BST; Wurtele, 1986) or a control program. Children were posttested on skill and knowledge gains.
Results: Preschoolers who had participated in the BST program demonstrated greater knowledge and higher levels of personal safety skills compared with controls. Boys and girls reacted similarly to the program, as did children from younger and older age groups.
Conclusions: These results provide support for the assertion that most preschool-aged children can benefit from participating in a developmentally appropriate personal safety program. Suggestions for expanding the efforts to prevent child sexual abuse are offered, so that children do not shoulder the full responsibility for prevention.
Objectif: Déterminer dans quelle mesure des garçons et des filles d'âge pré-scolaire sont capables de bénéficier d'instructions par rapport à la sécurité personnelle.
Méthode: Les auteurs se sont basés sur des données de cinq études antérieures dans lesquelles 406 enfants d'âge pré-scolaire ont étéévalués et ont participé soit au programme Behavioral Skills Training (Wurtele, 1986b) ou à un programme contrôle. Les enfants ont été testés par la suite pour mesurer leurs compétences et leurs connaissances.
Résultats: Comparés au groupe contrôle, les enfants qui ont participé au programme d'instruction ont démontré des connaissances et des capacités supérieures pour assurer leur propre sécurité. Tous les enfants, garçons et filles, jeunes ou plus vieux, ont réagi de la même façon au programme.
Conclusions: Ces résultats démontrent que les enfants d'âge pré-scolaire bénéficient de programmes d'instruction appropriés à leur âge. Les auteurs proposent des mesures pour prévenir les abus sexuels de sorte que les enfants ne porteront pas entièrement le fardeau de la prévention.
