Objective: The study was conducted as a need assessment survey
designed for the faculty of the University of Lahore to assess their
current knowledge and attitude about child rights.
Study Design: The research design of the current study was
descriptive, and a cross-sectional survey was carried out for this
purpose.
Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at The
University of Lahore from April to September 2017, during a period of 6
months.
Material and Methods: The data were collected through knowledge
and attitude assessment questionnaire (α = 0.78) about child rights,
developed by researchers. Collected data were analyzed by applying
descriptive and inferential statistics. The respondents were selected
from the faculty of the University of Lahore (n = 250) through simple
random sampling from two campuses.
Results: Results indicate a positive correlation between knowledge and
attitude scores of the participants (r = 0.56, p<0.01). Results also reveal
that mean scores (M = 53.42, SD = 6.47) for attitude are higher for
those participants who have attended any prior training related to child
rights.
Conclusion: The majority of the faculty members did not have enough
knowledge about laws, legislations, and organizations working for child
rights. Findings of this research suggest that there is a need for
developing child rights awareness among the literate people as well as
among the masses.
