- To evaluate the effect of sex education on middle school students' access to the obscene online computer and video film contents, 154 students were selected as experimental group, and 154 students were selected as control group, sampled randomly from Andong, Kyungbook, Korea. An analysis was performed.
A non-equivalent control group pre test-post test research design was used.
The data were collected from April 2nd to April 19th, 2001. A pre-survey was done on general characteristics and the condition of accessing obscene online computer and video film contents on both experimental and control group. From the survey results information, sex education contents were put together. The researcher organized 3 ready-made sex education program and explained to the four school health nurses about the ready-made sex education program step by step and they educated their selected students with three classes of 45 minutes lecture. Two weeks after the last lecture, a post-test was conducted. Four weeks from the last lecture, another post-test was conducted.
The existing studies by Choi Yongseon(1998) and Kim Hyeok(1998) were reviewed and two professors in the department of community health nursing advised on the study questionnaire writing.
An SPSS Win 10.0 was used. The data of respondents' general characteristics were analyzed using frequency and percentage. chi2 test was used to verify the homogeneity of the experimental group and the control group. Repeated Measures ANOVA was used to find out whether sex education had an effect on the awareness of obscene online computer and video film contents and under-age prostitution through the online computer networks, and time and frequency of access to the obscene online computer and video film contents.
The results of the study are as follow.
1. The results of the verification of homogeneity between the experimental group and the control group showed that there was no significant difference between the experimental group and the control group.
2. The first hypothesis, 'the experimental group which received sex education would have a higher level of awareness of accessing obscene contents than the control group which did not receive the education' was supported at p<0.0001.
3. The second hypothesis, 'the experimental group which received sex education would have a higher level of awareness of underage prostitution on computer networks than the control group which did not receive the education' was supported at p<0.05.
4. The third hypothesis, 'the experimental group which received sex education would spend time less accessing obscene video and computer contents than the control group which did not receive the education' was rejected at p>0.05.
5. The 4-1 hypothesis, 'the experimental group which received sex education would access obscene computer contents less frequently than the control group which did not receive the education' was supported at p<0.0001.
6. The 4-2 hypothesis, 'the experimental group which received sex education would access obscene video contents less frequently than the control group which did not receive the education' was supported at p<0.0001.
In conclusion, a systematic step-by-step sex education program should be developed to protect middle school students from the harmful online computer and video film access. An effective teaching material for sex education should be prepared to decrease middle school students' access to obscene online computer and video film contents.
