“…The frequency of home accidents significantly increased as the education level of mothers decreased (13). Çapık and Gürol found that mothers with higher education had more knowledge and attitudes towards home accidents, and of their prevention (9). Similarly, in the present study, we found that mothers with high school education or above were more aware of home accidents, used safety precautions more frequently inside the house, and their scale score of knowledge of precautionary measures against home accidents was higher.…”

Çocuk ölümleri arasında kazalar giderek önemli bir sorun olmaya başlamıştır. Bu çalışmada, 0-6 yaş grubu çocuğu olan annelerin çocukların ev kazalarını bilme ve bu kazalardan korunma yolları konusunda bilgi ve tutumlarının değerlendirilmesini amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Prospektif, tek merkezli, tanımlayıcı-analitik olarak yapılan çalışmamıza Şubat-Mart 2016 tarihleri arasında Şişli Hamidiye Etfal Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Aile Hekimliği Polikliniği'ne başvuran 217 kişi dahil edildi. Tarafımızdan hazırlanan anket formu birebir görüşülerek dolduruldu. SPSS 19,0 programında analizler yapıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmamıza katılan annelerin yaş ortalaması 33,32±5,64 idi. Eğitim seviyesi yüksek olan ve gelir düzeyi yüksek olan annelerin ev kazaları bilme durumları daha fazlaydı (p<0,001, p<0,001). Ev içerisinde yaşayan kişi ve çocuk sayısı arttıkça annelerin ev kazalarını bilme ve güvenlik önlemi alma durumları azalmaktaydı. Güvenlik önlemleri tanılama ölçeğinden 35 yaş altı, eğitim seviyesi yüksek ve tek çocuğu olan anneler daha fazla puan almıştı (p=0,005, p=0,009, p=0,017). Sonuç: Ev kazaları kaynaklı ölüm ve sakatlıkların artması nedeniyle bu konuda toplumsal bilinçlenme ve işbirliği şarttır. Ebeveynlerin, özellikle de annelerin, kazalardan korunma konusunda bilgilendirilmesi ve çocuklarına verecekleri eğitim, kazalardan korunma konusunda desteklenmesi büyük önem arz etmektedir.

“…We concluded that, not the formal education but taking a specific education about home accidents increase preventive measures against home accidents. Therefore, a structured education specifically addresses home accidents is very important to increase the quantity and quality of preventive measures against home accidents (26). This education should comprehensively cover the most common (i.e.…”

Objective: One of the most common causes of death among children in Turkey is accidents, and of this, 18-25% caused by home accidents. This study aims to identify the factors associated with safety measures against home accidents, that are taken by mothers who have children between 0-6 years of age. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted among the mothers who admitted to three Family Health Centers in Istanbul, Turkey, in 2017. The data was collected with a questionnaire including "The Scale for Mother's identification of Safety Measures Against Home Accidents for Children of 0-6 Years Age Group". The data was analyzed with SPSS program using Chi square, Mann Whitney-U and Spearman correlation tests (p<0,05 considered significant). 224 mothers participated in this study. Results: The most frequent home accidents were falling (48.9%), finger jam (36.6%) and crashing (30.6%). There was a weak positive correlation between the scale score and family's income (p=0.039; r=0.157); and a weak negative correlation between the scale score and child's age (p=0.001; r=-0.331). There was no association between education level of parents and safety measures. However, the scale scores were significantly higher among those who have specifically been educated about home accidents compared to those who haven't (p=0.013). Conclusion: The current education program may not be sufficient to prevent home accidents. We believe that specific courses about home accidents and safety measures are needed; even if these courses can be integrated to secondary school or university curricula it can be more beneficial.

“…To determine the sample size, the effect size of a previous study on a similar topic was used. Using the data of the study named "The effect of education on the ability of mothers to identify safety measures for home accidents" conducted by Çapık and Gürol in 2014, the alpha error level was found to be 0.05, the effect size was 0.93, and the sample size was 24 when the power was taken as 99% (18). The inclusion criteria were considered as (a) having a child with ID, (b) living with her child, (c) and the mother does not have any hearing, speaking, understanding or mental problems and (d) willingness to participate in the study.…”

“…Therefore, it is the responsibility of adults to provide a safe environment for these children, to take protective measures and to control the safety of their living areas (12,13). In studies conducted in Turkey, the families have been reported to have insufficient knowledge about the prevention of injury to children and suggested the implementation of education programs to improve the information (14)(15)(16)(17)(18). Home safety measures implemented by parents have proven effective in preventing childhood injuries (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20).…”

Introduction:To determine the effect of the Home Safety Education Program given to mothers with children with intellectual disability on their attitudes towards safety measures. Material and Methods: This study, in a single group semi-experimental design, was carried out in a Special Education Application Center in 2020 (n= 29 mothers). The dependent variable in this study is the mothers' attitude score towards home accidents. The Scale for Mother's Identification of Safety Measures against Home Accidents was used as data collection tool in the study. The Home Safety Education Program, consisting of 3 sessions for 2 weeks, was applied to the participants for home accidents. The data of the study were collected pre-intervention and 3 months later the intervention based on self-report. Descriptive statistics and Wilcoxon signed rank test were used to analyze the data. Results: In the study, the mean age of the mothers was 38.5±5.1, and the children were 13.5±2.6. Sixtyfive percent of children with intellectual disability have had a home accident in the last year. The most common type of accident is falling with 51.7%. A statistically significant difference was observed between attitude scores pre-education (154.2±21.3) and post-education (188.0±4.3) regarding safety measures for home accidents of the mothers (z=4.704, p<0.001). Conclusion:The study shows that mothers with children with intellectual disability can learn the necessary information and gain a positive attitude to keep their children safe in the home environment. For future studies, we recommend that intervention studies be conducted for the prevention of falls in children with intellectual disabilities and to examine mothers' attempts at safety measures through home visits.
