Preventing Home Accidents With Simulation Based Training

April 24, 2026 updated by: Merve Şen, Selcuk University

The Effect of Simulation Based Nursing Interventions on Mothers Prevention and Intervention of Home Accidents: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Objective: This study will evaluate the effects of simulation-based nursing interventions on mothers of 2-4 year old children's ability to take safety precautions against home accidents, maintain parental supervision, and improve first aid knowledge and skills in home accidents.

Materials and Methods: This randomized, controlled experimental study will be conducted in accordance with the CONSORT 2025 guideline. A total of 48 mothers 24 in the intervention group and 24 in the control group residing in the Karatay district of Konya province and meeting the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. Data will be collected using an "Introductory Information Form," the "Safety Precautions for Children Aged 0-6 Scale," the "Parents' Supervisory Behavior Profile Scale," and the "First Aid Self Efficacy Scale for Home Accidents." Mothers in the intervention group will receive a six week nursing intervention consisting of a guidebook, educational sessions, video presentations, image analysis, and simulations. The control group will not receive any interventions. Post intervention, educational materials will be shared with the control group. Research data will be analyzed using SPSS 29 statistical software. Parametric and nonparametric tests based on normal distribution, analysis of variance, effect size, confidence interval, and Intention to Treat analyzes will be used for between group and within time comparisons.

Conclusion: The results of this study are expected to contribute to the development of evidence based educational practices to prevent home accidents, increase control skills, and strengthen first aid self efficacy in mothers.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: The group where simulation-supported training applications were performed

Mothers will receive a six-week nursing intervention. The intervention will consist of four weeks of theoretical online training followed by two weeks of practical simulation training. The theoretical training will be planned according to Kolb's Experiential Learning Model and will be conducted in two sessions per week, with groups of 12 mothers per session. Additional sessions will be scheduled within the same week for mothers unable to attend.

The theoretical training will cover topics such as first aid guidelines, preventing home accidents, parental supervision and first aid, identifying safety risks through image analysis, and watching relevant videos. Following the theoretical sessions, mothers will participate in four simulation scenarios over a two-week period. Each simulation will consist of a preliminary briefing, a simulation practice, and a debriefing session.
Other: Simulation based home accidents and first aid training program

The intervention is a six week nursing program designed to improve mothers knowledge and skills in preventing and managing home accidents.

The intervention consists of researcher-supervised educational sessions, activities, and simulation based practices.
No Intervention: Control group that did not receive any training or simulation activity
The control group will not receive any intervention; mothers in this group will be measured three times: pretest, posttest, and follow up after three months. After the intervention group completes the interventions, the guidebook and videos will be shared with the control group.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Scale for diagnosing mothers safety precautions against home accidents in children aged 0-6
Time Frame: 6 weeks
The scale was developed to determine the safety precautions taken by mothers of children aged 0-6 to protect their children from home accidents. The 5-point Likert-type scale consists of 40 items, 34 positive and 6 negative (items 6, 9, 23, 26, 30, and 40). Positive items are scored as Always (5), Most of the Time (4), Sometimes (3), Rarely (2), and Never (1); and negative items are scored as Always (1), Most of the Time (2), Sometimes (3), Rarely (4), and Never (5). The highest possible score is 200, and the lowest is 40. Higher scores indicate that mothers take the highest level of precautions to protect themselves from home accidents. Cronbach's alpha for the study is 0.82.
6 weeks
Parents Supervisory Behavior Profile Scale
Time Frame: 6 weeks
The scale aims to measure the risk of unintentional injury to children aged 2-5 under parental supervision. The scale has a 5-point Likert-type structure. Each item is scored from 1 to 5. Negatively worded items (items 13 and 17) are reverse-coded. The scale consists of 29 items and four subscales: protectiveness (9 items), supervision needs (9 items), risk tolerance (8 items), and belief that fate controls the child's health (3 items). The internal consistency coefficient of the scale is 0.75, and the subscales range from 0.57 to 0.79.
6 weeks
First Aid Self Efficacy Scale for Home Accidents
Time Frame: 6 weeks
The scale determines the first aid self-efficacy levels of mothers of children aged 0-4 in the event of a home accident. The scale consists of 12 items with a 5-point Likert-type structure and a single dimension. Responses are scored as follows: Strongly agree (5), Agree (4), Undecided (3), Disagree (2), and Strongly disagree (1). The highest possible score is 60; the lowest is 12. Higher scores indicate increased self-efficacy in first aid. The study's Cronbach's alpha was 0.84.
