Abstract

Background: Globally, two-third of all victims of CSA are adolescents. In India this abuse peaks at 12 to 15 years of age and then starts to decline. Urban students have more awareness on GTBT than the rural students. The effects of CSA can be long-lasting and affect the victim’s mental health.
Objectives: This investigation is primarily targeted towards finding whether a nursing intervention package (NIP) affects rural adolescents differently than urban adolescents within the confines of this research setting.
Materials and Methods: In this study a quantitative evaluative research approach was used and quasi experimental time series research design was used in which an intervention was introduced only once after the pre-test of data collection.
Results: The area of residence does not affect an adolescent’s attitude towards GTBT, the NIP was indeed successful in achieving its objectives for both rural and urban adolescent’s equally, and ARS also is successful in capturing and quantizing the attitude of adolescents for GTBT.
Conclusion: Through tools the researcher has used, the researcher can increase an adolescent’s attitude towards significance of GTBT.
