Abstract

Çalışmada, okul öncesi dönemde çocuğu olan ebeveynlerin çocuk ihmal ve istismarına yönelik farkındalıklarının ve bilgi düzeylerinin sosyo-demografik özellikler açısından incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden genel tarama modelinin tekil tarama modeli ile tasarlanmıştır. Çalışmanın örneklemi amaçlı örnekleme yöntemlerinden kartopu örnekleme ile belirlenmiş ve 502 ebeveyn çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Veri toplama aracı olarak kişisel bilgi formu, Ebeveynlerin Çocuk İhmali ve İstismarı Farkındalık Ölçeği, Ebeveyn İstismar Ölçeği ve Görüşme Formu kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde ikili gruplar için bağımsız t Testi, ikiden fazla gruplarda ise tek yönlü varyans analizi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda ebeveynlerin sosyo-demografik özelliklerinin çocuk ihmal ve istismarına yönelik bilgi ve farkındalıkları üzerinde etkili olduğu görülmüştür.
