• Conditions: Accident at Home; Virtual Reality

• Registration Number: NCT06839196
• Lead Sponsor: Medipol University

Brief Summary

The main objective of this project is to raise awareness and equip parents of children with special needs with the knowledge and skills necessary to prevent home accidents through virtual reality applications. Additionally, the project aims to provide parents with basic first aid training and transfer training to ensure appropriate responses in the event of an accident. It also seeks to assess the balance status of children with special needs and to identify potential fall-related risks that may lead to home accidents.

The primary research questions this project aims to address are as follows:

* What is the level of awareness among parents of children with special needs regarding home accidents?

* What is the effect of virtual reality simulation on parental awareness of home accident risks?

* How does first aid training influence parents' ability to respond to home accidents?

* What is the impact of transfer training on parents' preparedness for home accident scenarios?

* What are the balance and gait levels of children with special needs, and how might these relate to fall risk at home?

Detailed Description

As part of the eligibility process, participants will complete the System Usability Scale, a Likert-type questionnaire, once at the beginning of the study. Only individuals scoring in the A+ category (96th-100th percentile) will be included in the intervention phase.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Awareness of home accidents	2 days	The Home Accident Awareness Questionnaire for Parents of Children with Special Needs, a 28-item form developed by the researchers, will be administered twice: once before and once after the VR training program.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Balance	1 day	The Nintendo Wii Fit Balance Board will be used to evaluate balance abilities through interactive tasks. It will be administered once during Stage 3 of the study.
Gait	1 day	The Tinetti Balance and Gait Assessment will also be used to assess gait abilities. The gait subscale has a maximum score of 28. A higher score reflects better gait performance and mobility. This assessment will be performed once during Stage 3 of the study.
