“…One of the findings of this study is that mothers' knowledge should be promoted to prevent toddlers' home accidents in the experimental group. This findings is in line with another study conducted in Iran, in which the knowledge of mothers with below six-year-old child improved after using the TPB with the aim of preventing self-medication (17). In a similar study, the TPB had effects on students' knowledge regarding prevention of road traffic injuries (18).…”

This study aimed to determine the effect of education on preventive home accident practices by mothers with toddlers with regard to the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Methods This research was a quasi-experimental study conducted on 116 mothers referred to comprehensive health centers (58 mothers per experimental and control groups), who were selected using cluster sampling method. Data were collected by a researcher-made TPB questionnaire, and then educational intervention was performed based on the TPB in four 45-60 minute sessions for the experimental group. After two months, the data were recollected from the two groups and analyzed by SPSS software version 16. Results Comparing the scores of knowledge, TPB constructs (i.e., attitude, perceived behavioral control, behavioral intention, and subjective norms), and preventive home accident practices of mothers revealed no statistically significant difference between the two groups at the beginning of the study. After having the intervention, there was a significant difference between the two groups of mothers regarding knowledge, TPB constructs (except for subjective norms), and preventive home accident practices for toddlers (p <0.001). Conclusion Preventive home accident practices adopted by mothers with toddlers enhanced after applying the TPB ; hence, this theory-based education can be used as a proper theoretical framework for toddlers’ home accident prevention.

Home injuries are among the causes of death and disability in toddlers. Preventing home injuries is an essential part of the child health care program. Using education-based models interventions can promote mothers’ practices regarding home injuries. This study aimed to investigate the effect of education based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) on the mothers’ preventive practices regarding toddler home injuries. A quasi-experimental study was conducted on 116 mothers referred to comprehensive health centers (58 mothers in each experimental and control group), who were selected using the cluster sampling method. Data were collected using a researcher-developed TPB questionnaire, which was validated by I-CVI (≥0.78), and CVR (≥0.79). Its reliability also confirmed by Cronbach’s alpha coefficients (.52-.93). Afterward, educational intervention was implemented in the experimental group based on TPB in four 45 to 60 minute sessions. After 2 months, the data were recollected from the two groups and analyzed using SPSS software version 16. Comparing the scores of TPB constructs (i.e., perceived behavioral control, behavioral intention, and subjective norms), and mothers’ preventive practices regarding toddler home injuries revealed no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups pre-intervention. However, after the intervention, significant differences were observed between the 2 groups in terms of awareness, the TPB constructs (except for subjective norms), and preventive practices of the mothers ( p < .001). Mothers’ preventive practices regarding toddler home injuries were improved after applying TPB; hence, it is suggested a larger study be completed to confirm the results of this theory-based education.
