This study aims to evaluate (i) the knowledge levels and attitudes of fathers toward child sexual abuse (CSA), (ii) factors influencing their knowledge and attitudes, and (iii) views on the CSA, using a sequential exploratory mixed method and a cross-sectional and phenomenological approach. The quantitative stage was conducted with the fathers of 258 children in a public primary school in Turkey between June and August 2021. In the qualitative stage, data were collected through face-to-face interviews with 14 fathers between October 2021 and January 2022 using a sociodemographic form, the CSA Knowledge/Attitude Scale (CSAKAS) and a semi-structured interview form. The mean total CSAKAS score was 129.51 ± 20.23. CSAKAS total scores were found to be higher in those with bachelor's or higher education degrees (F = 3.374, p = 0.019), background knowledge of CSA (t = 4.291, p < 0.001), receiving information about protecting their child from sexual abuse (t = 3.633, p < 0.001) and having a higher level of communication with their children (r = 0.422, p < 0.001). In the analysis of the qualitative data, three main themes emerged: the emotional conceptualization of CSA, potential drivers of CSA and protectors against CSA. According to the results, fathers do not take responsibility for CSA, so it is recommended to plan educational programs.

父亲对儿童性虐待的知识、态度、看法和经历：一项混合方法研究

本研究旨在采用序贯探索性混合方法和混合方法来评估（i）父亲对儿童性虐待（CSA）的知识水平和态度，（ii）影响其知识和态度的因素，以及（iii）对CSA的看法。横截面和现象学方法。定量阶段是在 2021 年 6 月至 8 月期间对土耳其一所公立小学 258 名儿童的父亲进行的。定性阶段是通过 2021 年 10 月至 2022 年 1 月期间对 14 名父亲进行面对面访谈来收集数据。社会人口统计形式、CSA 知识/态度量表 (CSAKAS) 和半结构化访谈形式。CSAKAS 平均总分为 129.51 ± 20.23。研究发现，拥有学士或高等教育学位（F = 3.374，p = 0.019）、CSA 背景知识（t = 4.291，p < 0.001）、接受有关保护孩子免受性虐待的信息的人的 CSAKAS 总分较高（ t = 3.633，p < 0.001）并且与孩子的沟通水平较高（r = 0.422，p < 0.001）。在对定性数据的分析中，出现了三个主题：CSA 的情感概念化、CSA 的潜在驱动因素和 CSA 的保护因素。根据结果​​，父亲不承担CSA的责任，因此建议规划教育计划。
