Abstract

Background: Child sexual abuse is a serious and increasingly prevalent issue each year, with long-term physical, psychological, and social impacts on victims. Children aged 8–9 years are in the stage of concrete operational cognitive development, during which they begin to understand cause-and-effect relationships and think logically about concrete situations. Therefore, an interactive, enjoyable, and developmentally appropriate educational approach is essential. One alternative educational medium is the Snakes and Ladders game. This study aims to determine the effect of the Snakes and Ladders educational game on improving knowledge about sexual abuse among pre-adolescent children.
Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The study was conducted at SDN 209 Antapani, Bandung City, from April to May 2025. The sample consisted of 30 pre-adolescent children aged 8–9 years, selected using a probability sampling method with random sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed with the Wilcoxon statistical test.
Results: The intervention resulted in a significant increase in knowledge (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: This indicates that the Snakes and Ladders game is effective in increasing children’s knowledge about sexual abuse.
