Abstract

Background: Enhancing the understanding of pornography among male teenagers can function as a protective measure against the adverse impacts associated with pornography exposure.


Objectives: To develop media exposure prevention on the pornography prevention model of male teenagers in the 4th Regional Health. 


Methods: The research and development study consisted of 3 phases: 1) Studying the situation of media exposure prevention on pornography. The samples were 374 males 15-19 years in the 4th Regional Health, and parents, public health officers, police officers, and one digital officer used in-depth interviews. 2) The developed model was implemented in 40 experimental groups  3) Evaluation of the model of media exposure prevention on pornography. The instrument created by the researcher had a content validity of 0.82-1.00 and a reliability of 0.7. The data was analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and independent sample t-test.


Results: The results showed that 1) the situation of using media exposure prevention on pornography of male teenagers had a medium level, 2) the model consisted of seven components as follows: “Media literacy,” “I feel good that not watch it,” “Stand by my Role Model,” “I can control you,” “Uncompromising,” “Seriously” and “Important Persons,” (content validity index: CVI =.96, and Cronbach alpha coefficient = .82), 3)The evaluation of the model found that the experimental group had higher and higher protection against exposure to pornographic media than the control group with statistical significance at the .05 level after the experiment.
