ABSTRACT
Introduction: child sexual abuse is a form of child maltreatment; it has become an alarmingly increasing problem.Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational intervention on child sexual abuse in workers from “Hermanos Cordové” Pediatric Hospital.
Method: a quasi-experimental before-and-after study was conducted without a control group in workers from “Hermanos Cordové” Pediatric Hospital in the period between September and December 2018. The target group comprised 28 participants.
Results: among the participants, female sex predominated (68 %), age group between 25 and 35 years (64 %). The predominant level of schooling was pre-university (46 %). A low level of knowledge predominated for both sexes before applying the intervention (female: 74 %; male: 67 %). After the application of the educational intervention, a high level of knowledge predominated (females: 52,6 %; males: 55,6 %).
Conclusions: the application of the educational intervention had a favorable impact on the level of knowledge about child sexual abuse in the community, guaranteeing a greater perception of risk and providing tools in order to prevent, to identify and manage it.
