Injury Prevention Model For K-1 Students
Introducing A Replicable Model For Injury Prevention Education In Kindergarten And First Grade Students
There is no educational injury prevention model uniquely suited for kindergarten and first grade (K-1) students. The Teddy Bear Injury Clinic (TBIC) is a unique modification of the teddy bear clinic to facilitate classroom injury prevention teaching
The TBIC will be administered to K-1 students, aged 5-7 years. Initial analysis will be descriptive and qualitative. Subsequent randomization of students to test and control groups followed by statistical analysis will be done to evaluate for effectiveness of the educational model

Detailed Description
The TBIC is a 40minute educational intervention divided into two sections with the first section consisting of classroom teaching with two safety messages each for four safety topics and the second section being that of students acting as caregivers for their teddy bears, using role-play for the messages taught.
Qualitative data collection will be initially done in an inductive manner and qualitative content analysis done using the directed method to analyze effectiveness and appropriateness of the TBIC for a pilot group.
Controlled trial will consist of randomizing students to either the TBIC group or the control group which will receive an alternate teddy bear clinic for non trauma related hospital education. Pre and post questionnaires will be administered to evaluate the efficacy of the TBIC.
Statistical analysis will be done using the Wilcoxon signed test rank score for the Likert scale based evaluations generated.
