    Knowledge and Intention to Report Child Sexual Abuse among Harawacha Primary School Teachers at Melka Bello Woreda, Oromia
    (Addis Ababa University, 2024-06) Yebichaye Yeshitila; Dawit Mekonnen (PhD)
    Studies have identified various interpersonal and social factors affecting suspected child sexual abuse. However, attitudes to reporting, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control as influencing teachers' intention to report child sexual abuse are still scarce, showing knowledge gaps concerning teachers' role in disclosing child sexual abuse cases. Particularly, despite many child sexual abuse cases, no study yet attempted to examine child sexual abuse cases in eastern Harerghe including Harawach town. This study employs quantitative research methods to collect and examine attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavior control as teachers' intention to report child sexual abuse. Survey participants were selected using stratified random sampling techniques (N=181). The research utilized a questionnaire as a data collection instrument. Correlational and hierarchical regression analysis approaches were employed to analyze data. Findings indicated that all teachers' attitudes to reporting, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control were positively and significantly associated with teachers' intention to report child sexual abuse. The Findings from hierarchical regression analysis showed that subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and the number of children significantly predicted teachers' intention to report child sexual abuse. The study concludes that enhancing perceived behavioral control and creating facilitating norms can improve teachers' intention to report CSA. This study has an important contribution to various stakeholders working on child rights protection by providing insight for developing prevention and early intervention strategies for the victims of CSA. This study also contributes to the child protection literature and theory of planned behavior.
