Accidents are an important public health problem due to temporary or permanent disability and deaths. Injuries are among the most important causes of death and lifelong disability between the ages of 5-14. Children at these ages spend long hours at school and are physically very active in school. It is reported that 15% of child accidents occur at school. For this reason, it is important to increase the standard of knowledge of children to improve their behavior towards safety precautions. Purpose of this study is to research the impact of the education that has given towards the health belief model, for the behavior of children about precautions against school accidents. This study is Quasi-experimental study. There will a experiment and a control group in the study. Within the scope of the study, the researcher will train students about school accidents and how to prevent them for 30 minutes a week at the total of 4 weeks.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Behavior Towards The Security Precautions Against School Accidents

  Students' behaviors regarding safety measures in school accidents were measured through a scale. A total score was obtained based on students' responses to the scale. Statistical analysis was conducted according to the obtained scores. The information related to the scale is provided below. Scale of Behavior Towards The Security Precautions Against School Accidents: Student behaviors will be determined with this scale. It is a 5-point Likert-type scale consisting of 40 items and was developed by Gür and Yıldız (2009). The scale allows for a minimum score of 40 and a maximum score of 200. The highest score obtained from the scale indicates that the student has taken safety measures for school accidents at the highest level.

  The scale was applied once at the beginning of the study and again at the end of the study (4th week).

intervention group

EXPERIMENTAL

Experimental group will be selected from the branches 3rd and 4th grade. 3 branches will be selected for the experimental group. Branches will be determined by drawing. In order not to interfere with the education of students during the training, the groups will be designated as class branches.

Behavioral: Education

control group

NO INTERVENTION

Control group will be selected from the branches 3rd and 4th grade. 3 branches for the control group. Branches will be determined by drawing. In order not to interfere with the education of students during the training, the groups will be designated as class branches. After the training of the experimental group is completed and the final data are obtained, a 40-minute training will be given to the control group about prevention from school accidents. This training was planned so that the control group would not be devoided of the intervention.

Interventions

Education BEHAVIORAL

Students selected for the experimental group will be trained by the researcher for school accidents prepared in line with the components of the Health Belief Model.The training program will be planned as 30 minutes per week for 4 weeks. Before the training and at the end of the training (at the end of the 4th week), the students will be applied personal information form and a behavior scale for safety precautions in school accidents.
