Özet:

 In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effectiveness of school counselors implementations of Our Lesson: Safe Relationships program and the moderating effect of grade, gender, and socio-economic level SES on the effectiveness of school counselors implementations of the program. The participants consisted of a total of 273 early adolescents aged 9-13 M  10.9, S  0.7 attending 5th and 6th grades, 137 in the intervention group and 136 in the comparison group. After the pre-test measurements, the  Our Lesson: Safe Relationships program was implemented to the intervention group by school counselors for 6 weeks. The data collecting tools employed in this research are Personal Safety Awareness Scale, Sexual Health Knowledge, and Attitude Inventory, Safe and Unsafe Situation Assessment Form and the Regulation of Emotions Questionnaire. The statistical analysis was done using analysis of variance for repeated measures. The results pointed out that the gender variable did not have a moderating effect on the effectiveness of the program. In the intervention group, the amount of knowledge about abuse increased among participants from selected from the low SES neighbourhood where the school is located, 5th graders and selected from the midde SES neighbourhood where the school is located, 6th graders. An increase was detected in the intervention groups on behalf of the level of knowledge about sexuality, adolescence and gender. The protection from sexual abuse skills were increased in the intervention group from selected from the low SES neighbourhood where the school is located. Based on the data related to the emotion regulation, it can be concluded that the program did not have a negative emotional effect. Summarizingly, the implementations of the Our Lesson: Safe Relationships program by school counselors were found to be effective in increasing the knowledge and skill levels of early adolescents.

 Bu çalışmada Dersimiz: Güvenli İlişkiler programının okul psikolojik danışmanı uygulamalarının etkililiği ve programın etkililiği üzerinde sınıf, cinsiyet ve sosyo-ekonomik düzeyin SED düzenleyici etkisini incelemek hedeflenmiştir. Katılımcılar 9-13 yaş aralığındaki Ort.  10.9, SS.  0.7. 5. ve 6. sınıfa devam eden 137si müdahale, 136sı karşılaştırma grubu olmak üzere toplamda 273 ergenden oluşmaktadır. Ön test ölçümlerinin ardından müdahale grubuna okul psikolojik danışmanları tarafından 6 hafta boyunca Dersimiz: Güvenli İlişkiler programı uygulanmıştır. Ölçümler; Kişisel Güvenlik Farkındalık Ölçeği, Cinsel Sağlık Bilgi ve Tutum Envanteri, Güvenli ve Güvensiz Durum Değerlendirme Formu ve Ergenler için Duygu Düzenleme Ölçeği ile alınmıştır. Veriler tekrarlı ölçümler için varyans analizi ile incelenmiştir. Analizler sonucunda, cinsiyet değişkeninin programın etkililiği üzerinde düzenleyici etkiye sahip olmadığı bulunmuştur. Müdahale grubunda okulun bulunduğu düşük SED mahalleden seçilen 5. sınıflar ve okulun bulunduğu orta SED mahalleden seçilen 6. sınıflarda istismar bilgi düzeyleri artmıştır. Cinsellik, ergenlik ve toplumsal cinsiyet bilgi düzeyleri ölçümlerinde müdahale gruplarında artış görülmüştür. İstismardan korunma becerilerinde ise okulun bulunduğu düşük SED mahalledeki müdahale grubunda artış görülmüştür. Alınan duygu düzenleme ölçümüne göre, programın olumsuz bir duygusal etkisi de bulunmamaktadır. Dersimiz: Güvenli İlişkiler programının okul psikolojik danışmanı uygulamalarının da ergenlerin bilgi ve beceri düzeylerini arttırma bakımından etkili olduğu görülmektedir.
