The Effect of Digital and Classical Education Based on Planned Behavior Theory Given to Mothers in the Risk Group on Their Self-Efficacy in Identifying Safety Measures and First Aid for Home Accidents: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Childhood home accidents are a significant health problem in our country and the world. Home accidents are more common in children aged 1-5, and cause temporary and permanent disabilities in deaths.

In the project proposal, it is planned to conduct a randomized controlled trial to determine the effects of digital and classical home accident and first aid training given to mothers in the risk group with children aged 1-3 in line with the Planned Behavior Theory (PDT) on home accident safety precautions and first aid self-efficacy.

In the study, the features of the education model that will provide original value and original contribution are that it is digitally based (animated video) education, which will allow individuals to receive training at their own pace and in accordance with their needs due to its individualizable feature. This will encourage mothers to participate more at the appropriate time and actively participate in the training. It is a more cost-effective and time-saving application compared to other teaching materials. In addition, it is original in that the group to be trained is mothers in the risk group. It is different from other studies on 'home accidents' in that it is planned in line with the PDT, randomized controlled, and the outputs will be measured with repeated measurements.

The implementation of this project will consist of four main stages. In the first stage, the creation of the educational content, preparation of digital and classical educational materials in line with expert opinions and their evaluation by expert opinions. In the second stage, the final version will be arranged in line with the preliminary application. In the third stage, the implementation of the initiative and the collection of data. In the fourth stage, the statistical analysis of the data.

The total duration of the project will be divided into approximately 3 months in the first stage, 1 month in the second, 7 months in the third and the last stage in the 1-month stage. In order for the project to be carried out healthily and effectively, the project manager and the doctoral student specialist nurse will take part.

Since the project is original, if it is successful, there is a high probability that a doctoral thesis will be formed. It is highly likely that a researcher with a doctorate title will be formed upon completion of the project. The importance of the digital education method is very clear and its active use in nursing education will positively contribute to the development of child and family health. It is highly probable that the training model to be created will be recommended for use in secondary and tertiary healthcare institutions, including primary healthcare.
