Abstract

Sexual violence that occurs in children's classrooms places them with a significant impact on their health and lifelong well-being. Therefore, parents have to improve their primary prevention efforts through effective communication. This study aimed to identify the Family Intervention Model's effectiveness on parents' practical communication skills in preventing children from acts of sexual violence in border areas. The study uses a mixed-type research design on both quantitative and qualitative research approaches. This research comprised 23 wives and 23 husbands from Kecamatan Sajingan Besar, and the purposive sampling technic was the sampling method. The family Intervention Model (FIM) was used as the intervention for 46 subjects. Qualitative data was collected with observations. During the research, the Parents Effective Communication Scale was used as means of quantitative data collection. The pretest scale was given in the rapport-building session and the post- test for the last session of intervention. The data has been analyzed using Wilcoxon Test. The study revealed that there is an improvement in parents' communication skills. The Wilcoxon test showed the Z value is -5.437 with a significance value (p-value) of 0.000. The test significance value (p-value) is smaller than 0.05 (0.000 < 0.05), so it was decided that there was a significant difference in parents' effective communication after the intervention. The empirical results reported herein should be considered in light of some limitations, such as the limited access to the subjects in the data collection process.
