Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• The Scale for Diagnosing the Safety Measures of the Mother for Household Accidents in Children Aged 0-6

  The scale developed by Çınar and colleagues evaluates the safety precautions taken by mothers of children aged 0-6 to protect their children from home accidents (burns, falls, poisoning, sharp-edged injuries, foreign object aspiration, drowning, electric shocks). The Scale for Identifying Mothers' Safety Precautions for Home Accidents in Children Aged 0-6 consists of a total of 40 items, with 34 positive and 6 negative statements. Each item is scored between 1-5 on the five-point Likert-type scale. While the items containing positive statements always receive 5 points, often 4 points, sometimes 3 points, rarely 2 points, and never 1 point, the items containing negative statements receive 6, 9, 23, 26, 30, and 40 never 5 points, rarely 4 points, sometimes 3 points, often 2 points, and always 1 point. The minimum score of the scale is 40 and the maximum score is 200. The Croncbach alpha internal consistency coefficient value is 0.82.

Interventions

Home Accidents Prevention Training OTHER

Mothers in the education group who participated in the study were informed about the research and their written consent was obtained. Mothers filled out the 'Information Form' then completed the 'Diagnostic Scale of the Mother's Safety Measures for Home Accidents in Children Aged 0-6 Years'. Mothers were helped when filling out the form and their questions were answered. The training program was organized so that there would be a maximum of 5 mothers in each group. The trainings were conducted face-to-face with a PowerPoint presentation and lasted about 40-45 minutes. Question-answer and discussion methods were used during the training. After the training, the mothers were asked to fill out the same scale again one month later. One month after the training, the mothers were interviewed face-to-face and the scale was filled in again and the changes they made at home were recorded.

Educated

Control Group OTHER

Mothers in the control group were informed about the research and the 'Informed Consent Form' was signed. The mothers filled out the 'Information Form' and this process took about 15-20 minutes. Mothers were helped when filling out the form and their questions were answered. In addition, mothers were asked to complete the 'Diagnostic Scale of the Mother's Safety Measures for Home Accidents in Children Aged 0-6' by introducing. A month later, they were informed that they had to fill out this scale again. A month later, the mothers were interviewed face-to-face and allowed to fill out the scale again. After the last test, the mothers in the control group were given 'Home Accidents and Prevention Training for Children in the 0-6 Age Group' and the output of the training presentation was distributed.
