Overview

This study was conducted to assess the awareness of parents of children with disabilities regarding the prevention of home accidents and the effectiveness of the basic first aid training provided. A randomized controlled experimental study design with a pre-test-post-test format was employed to determine the effectiveness of home accident prevention awareness and basic first aid training provided to parents of children with disabilities attending special education schools. Research hypotheses: Hypothesis 0: There is no significant difference between the pre-training and three-month post-training evaluations (pre-test-post-test) of the home accident prevention awareness and basic first aid training provided to parents of children with disabilities. Hypothesis 1: There is a significant difference between the pre-training and three-month post-training assessments (pre-test-post-test) of home accident prevention awareness and basic first aid training provided to parents of children with disabilities.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change in Total Home Accident Awareness and Basic First Aid Knowledge Score

The primary outcome is the change in the total home accident awareness and basic first aid knowledge score from pre-test to post-test. The total score is calculated from 34 common items: 18 items from the Home Accident Awareness Assessment Form and 16 items from the Basic First Aid Training Assessment Form. Items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale (1=strongly disagree, 5=strongly agree), with higher scores indicating greater awareness and knowledge. Items 5 and 11 of the awareness form and items 3, 5, and 13 of the first aid form are reverse-coded. After reverse coding, item scores are summed to obtain a total score ranging from 34 to 170. The change score is calculated as post-test minus pre-test; positive values indicate improvement. Sociodemographic items and the additional post-test item on recent home accidents are analyzed descriptively and excluded from the total score.

Time frame: Baseline and three months after the training

Occurrence of Home Accidents During the Three Months After Training

The secondary outcome is whether the child experienced a home accident during the three months after training. This will be assessed using one additional post-test item and analyzed descriptively as frequency and percentage. This item will not be included in the total score or change score calculations.

Time frame: Three months after the training
