Impact of Domestic Accidents Training Given to Parents with Mentally Disabled Children
Abstract
Purpose: The research is a semi-experimental study with a pre-post testing design that aims to assess the impact of domestic accidents training given to parents with mentally disabled children.
Methods: The sample of the study consists of 32 parents whose children were enrolled in a special education center. Data were collected using sociodemographic features, Diagnostic Scale Of Safety Measures For Domestic Accidents In Children Aged 0-6, and training assessment form. Percentiles, averages, standard deviation, Cronbach Alpha internal consistency analysis, t-test, Kruskal Wallis, variance analysis were used to analyze the data.
Results: 71.9% of parents had previously received training on domestic accidents, 59.4% of their children had previously had domestic accidents, and poisoning was experienced the most (63.2%). It was determined that one month after training, parents' attitude score on measures to protect them from domestic accidents increased compared to pre-training. There was no significant difference between the rate children had domestic accidents before and after the training. No significant differences were found between parents' behavior before and after the training in taking safety measures at home.
Conclusions: It is recommended that families be trained by health professionals at regular intervals to protect them from home accidents and also ensuring continuity and observing the effects of the training by making in-home visits.
