📄 Abstract
The study investigated the anxiety levels of mothers of adolescent girls towards pedophilia in a rural community in Bhopal, India. Using a non-experimental descriptive design, the study surveyed 30 mothers with a structured questionnaire measuring anxiety levels. Results revealed 56.6% of mothers had moderate anxiety levels, while 43.4% exhibited severe anxiety. Age, marital status, educational background, family type, religion, and occupation were significantly associated with anxiety levels. Mothers aged 30-40 years, those who were married, and those with higher education levels experienced greater anxiety. Mothers from nuclear families and those regularly exposed to mass media also exhibited higher anxiety levels. The study emphasizes the need for targeted interventions and culturally sensitive approaches to support mothers and families in this rural community.
