Two randomized groups of parents will receive or not receive a package of information using a mobile application called MA_PESAN.
The MA_PESAN application is precise and can increase teachers' and parents' knowledge, attitudes, communication practices, and self-awareness about preventing CSA. This application is recommended to be applied in all elementary-level schools.
Read the detailed description
There is still a lack of knowledge, attitudes, practices, communication skills, and self-awareness among parents and teachers, so education is needed relating to the prevention of CSA. The need to educate parents and teachers is significant because parents are the first teachers of their children in sexual education. Involving parents in educating children about CSA will be effective in encouraging children to use self-protection skills, enabling children to increase safety in the home environment, communication between parents and their children about sexuality, and screening of caregivers. Parents and teachers are the essential sources of providing information to children. The use of media can affect increased knowledge. Several studies on preventing CSA have proven effective in preventing CSA, such as education using discussion methods, pictures, videos, puppets, and sketches.
Education programs regarding the prevention of CSA in schools need to be introduced and taught through schools by involving parents of students at home and teachers at schools, bearing in mind that currently, there is no specific educational program regarding the prevention of CSA in schools. Social media is the dominant communication tool in the 4.0 era. Support can be offered in schools through appropriate methods of preventing CSA due to its broad reach and impact on children's lives. The method is education on the prevention of CSA by using the Mobile Application for Prevention of CSA in Schools (MA_PESAN), which will be developed in this research. The MA_PESAN educational method is education that uses an application intended for parents of students and teachers. The content used in the MA_PESAN material contains material related to the prevention of CSA, the age of children to start being taught CSA prevention, who are the perpetrators/predators of CSA, whether the perpetrators are adults or fellow children, the importance of communication between parents and teachers and children, and eliminating cultural taboos in inform CSA that other studies in the contents of the research material have not carried out.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Knowledge of CSA prevention
Researchers developed this questionnaire. The CSA knowledge instrument contains definitions, forms, determinants, perpetrators of violence, signs and symptoms of victims, impacts, and ways of prevention. The instrument questionnaire consists of 30 questions with multiple-choice options (three answer choices). The correct answer to the positive question is 1, and the wrong answer is 0. Meanwhile, for the negative question, the correct answer is 0, and the wrong answer is 1. Possible scores range from 0-30. The higher the participant's knowledge score, the better their knowledge of CSA prevention.
Measured: 45 days
Attitude toward prevention of Sexual abuse
The researchers developed the instrument. The content of attitude consists of the perception of mothers/teachers of students in grades 5-6 regarding preventing sexual violence. The instrument consists of 13 questions in the form of a Likert scale with a score of 1-4 on a Likert scale. The score for a positive statement is 4 = Strongly Agree; 3=Agreed; 2=Disagree; and 1= Strongly Disagree. Negative questions were changed ('strongly disagree' was coded 4 while 'strongly agree' was coded 1). Possible scores range from 13-52. The higher the participant's attitude score, the more supportive their attitude towards CSA prevention.
Measured: 45 days
Practice of CSA prevention
The authors developed this instrument. The Instrument questionnaire regarding practices on CSA prevention consists of 17 questions. Items for communication practices were measured using a 4-point Likert scale. Contains an attitude statement regarding the prevention of CSA in the form of a Likert scale with a score of 1-4 on a Likert scale. The score for positive statements is 4=Always; 3=often; 2=Rarely; and 1=Never. Negative questions were changed ('never' was coded 4 while 'Always' was coded 1). Possible scores range from 17-68. The higher the participant's communication practice score, the more supportive their communication practice is toward CSA prevention.
Measured: 45 days
Awareness of CSA prevention
The authors developed this instrument. The process of recognizing respondents' thoughts, feelings, and urges is used to guide decision-making regarding preventing sexual violence against children. The instrument questionnaire regarding self-awareness consists of 20 Likert scale questions. Items for self-awareness are measured using a 4-point Likert scale. The attitude scale is: 4=Strongly Agree; 3=Agreed; 2=Disagree; and 1 = Strongly Disagree. Negative questions were changed ('strongly disagree' was coded 4 while 'strongly agree' was coded 1). Possible scores range from 20-80 for self-awareness. The higher the participant's self-awareness score, the higher their self-awareness of CSA prevention.
Measured: 45 days
