Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this project was to determine the effect of the burn prevention and first aid mobile application developed for families living in tent cities and container houses after the earthquake on the burn prevention and first aid knowledge of families and the development of burns in the first two months after the mobile application. The research was planned as a prospective, two-arm (1:1), randomized controlled trial. The study population will consist of families living in tent cities and container houses in Şanlıurfa. As a result of the power analysis performed in the G*Power program, the sample group will consist of 30 families from the tent city and 30 families from the container city, taking into account the losses with a power of 90% and a maximum bidirectional 5% type error. All of the families (30 mobile application-study group; 30 control group) who make up the sample of the research will be given a training (powerpoint presentation) prepared by the researcher in line with the literature, and burn prevention and first aid practices will be explained and their questions will be answered. Then, the training to be given with the mobile application will be downloaded to the phones of the families in the experimental group and the training will continue through the application. In the study, data will be collected with the "Descriptive Characteristics Form", "Information Form on Burn Prevention and First Aid" and "Burn Development Follow-up Form", which include the descriptive information of the families. The data obtained from the study will be analyzed in computer environment.
Detailed Description
The aim of this project was to determine the effect of the burn prevention and first aid mobile application developed for families living in tent cities and container houses after the earthquake on the burn prevention and first aid knowledge of families and the development of burns in the first two months after the mobile application.The research was planned as a prospective, two-arm (1:1), randomized controlled trial. This randomized controlled trial will be reported according to CONSORT guidelines. The research population will consist of families living in tent cities and container houses in Şanlıurfa. As a result of the power analysis performed in the G\*Power program, the sample group will consist of 30 families from the tent city and 30 families from the container city, taking into account the losses with a power of 90% and a maximum bidirectional 5% type error. All of the families (30 mobile application-study group; 30 control group) who make up the sample of the research will be given a training (powerpoint presentation) prepared by the researcher in line with the literature, and burn prevention and first aid practices will be explained and their questions will be answered. Then, the training to be given with the mobile application will be downloaded to the phones of the families in the experimental group and the training will continue through the application. Thus, families will be able to access the training from the mobile application at any time after the training. The primary results of the research are the effect of the mobile application on burn prevention and first aid knowledge. The secondary outcome of the study is the effect of the mobile application on the development of burns in the first two months after the mobile application. In the study, data will be collected with the "Descriptive Characteristics Form", "Information Form on Burn Prevention and First Aid" and "Burn Development Follow-up Form", which include the descriptive information of the families. The data obtained from the study will be analyzed in computer environment.
