Preventing Home Accidents With Simulation Based Training

Plain-language summary

Objective: This study will evaluate the effects of simulation-based nursing interventions on mothers of 2-4 year old children's ability to take safety precautions against home accidents, maintain parental supervision, and improve first aid knowledge and skills in home accidents. Materials and Methods: This randomized, controlled experimental study will be conducted in accordance with the CONSORT 2025 guideline. A total of 48 mothers 24 in the intervention group and 24 in the control group residing in the Karatay district of Konya province and meeting the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. Data will be collected using an "Introductory Information Form," the "Safety Precautions for Children Aged 0-6 Scale," the "Parents' Supervisory Behavior Profile Scale," and the "First Aid Self Efficacy Scale for Home Accidents." Mothers in the intervention group will receive a six week nursing intervention consisting of a guidebook, educational sessions, video presentations, image analysis, and simulations. The control group will not receive any interventions. Post intervention, educational materials will be shared with the control group. Research data will be analyzed using SPSS 29 statistical software. Parametric and nonparametric tests based on normal distribution, analysis of variance, effect size, confidence interval, and Intention to Treat analyzes will be used for between group and within time comparisons. Conclusion: The results of this study are expected to contribute to the development of evidence based educational practices to prevent home accidents, increase control skills, and strengthen first aid self efficacy in mothers.
