Enhancing Primary Sexual Awareness in Preschool Children through Indirect Education: A Comparative Case Study on the Impact of Story Reading and Creative Representation

Background: The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating Sexual education using indirect education through story reading and creative representation on the primary sexual awareness of preschool children. Methods: This research is a descriptive-comparative type of multiple case study with within-group method. The statistical population in this research consists of ۵ preschool children from the second district of West Tehran, who were selected using the accessible method. In this research, the what-if-situation-test (WIST) was used to collect the required information. The score ranges from zero to ۶۴. In order to organize, classify and analyze the resulting data, descriptive statistics (prevalence, percentage, average, standard deviation, etc.) and inferential statistics were used. Will-Coxon analysis was used to determine the difference between two samples. Results: In interpreting the results of Will-Coxon's test, referring to p-value > ۰.۰۵, it can be said that the null hypothesis is rejected and therefore it can be safely concluded that there is a significant difference between the amount of the studied variable in the two groups. Further results have shown that after the sexual abuse prevention education program, the literacy level of children has increased (improved) from the sexual abuse prevention program. Conclusion: This reserach demonstrated a significant improvement in preschool children's literacy levels after the implementation of a sexual abuse prevention program through indirect education. This highlights the potential value of promoting such methods for enhancing primary sexual awareness
