About this study
Official title: First Aid Training Booklet for Parents of Children 0-6 Years Old
Purpose: Accidents/injuries seen in children aged 0-6 in developed and developing countries are among the leading preventable health problems and are among the leading causes of death and disability. In the event of an accident/injury, many children can be saved and/or complications can be prevented with correct first aid knowledge and practices until the health team arrives. Therefore, parents are the first to have first aid knowledge and skills, and first aid training given to parents is very important so that they can provide correct first aid intervention in the event of an accident/injury. In this way, it will be possible to increase parents' awareness and self-efficacy, and mortality and morbidity rates after accidents/injuries in children can be reduced. It is important for pediatric nurses, who are important members of preventive health services, to create educational content according to the target audience and to provide first aid training to parents accordingly. In this context, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the first aid training program given to parents of 0-6 year old children, to improve parents' first aid application skills and to increase their first aid self-efficacy levels.
Scope and Objectives: In this project covering parents of 0-6 year old children; it is aimed to increase parents' first aid knowledge level, application skills and first aid self-efficacy.

Method: This study is planned as a randomized controlled experimental study. Parents of 0-6 year old children registered in Çorum Province Family Health Centers and nurseries and kindergartens affiliated with the Ministry of Family and Social Policies will be included in the study group. The parents participating in the study will be randomized into intervention and control groups. Parents will be divided into strata according to their level of education and the ages of their children, and stratification will be carried out after the pre-test of the study is applied. Parents will not be informed whether they are in the intervention or control group. The intervention group will be trained with the "First Aid Training Booklet for Parents of 0-6 Year Old Children" developed by the researchers. After the training, a post-test will be applied to the intervention and control groups. The research data will be collected using the "Introductory Information Form", "First Aid Knowledge Evaluation Form", "First Aid Application Skill Evaluation Form" and "First Aid-Self-Efficacy Scale" through face-to-face interviews.
Expected Results: The training program prepared for parents of children aged 0-6;
- It can be used in all scientific studies such as research, thesis, and projects planned to be conducted in the field,
- It can be used as a resource if "first aid" courses are added to the postgraduate education curricula of "Pediatric Nursing", "Public Health Nursing", "Surgical Diseases Nursing", which are frequently in contact with children of this age,
- It can form the basis for projects planned within the scope of "training of trainers" for students receiving postgraduate education in the fields of "Pediatric Nursing", "Public Health Nursing", "Surgical Diseases Nursing",
- Proper and effective first aid applications allow children to continue their lives in a healthy way by providing timely intervention. It is thought that the health of children, who are the future of societies, will contribute to the reduction of the frequency of applications for treatment and care services at health institutions and, in this respect, the effective use of economic resources allocated by governments to health.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
First Aid Education ProgrammeBehavioural
A six-module behavioral education program for parents, designed to improve first aid knowledge, application skills, and self-efficacy. Delivered face-to-face in three 120-minute sessions using theoretical lectures, demonstrations, and case-based simulations.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Control group | No intervention | This group will not be distributed to education |
| First Aid Education Program for Parents | Experimental | Parents of 0-6-year-old children who received a structured first aid education program consisting of 6 modules over 3 sessions (each session 120 minutes), including theoretical instruction, hands-on practice, and case simulations. Topics include pediatric emergencies, trauma management, and self-efficacy development. Receives: Behavioral: First Aid Education Programme |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
First Aid Knowledge Score
The 101-question "First Aid Knowledge Evaluation Form" developed by the researcher is used to assess parents' knowledge of pediatric first aid. Scores range from 0 to 101; higher scores indicate higher knowledge levels.
The form is grouped according to the modules in the training program. In this context, it consists of a total of 101 questions: Module 1: General First Aid Information (14 questions); Module 2: Basic Life Support (BLS) Information (16 questions); Module 3: First Aid Information in Traumatic Injuries (31 questions); Module 4: First Aid Information in Medical Emergencies (18 questions); Module 5: First Aid Information in Other Emergencies (22 questions). Each question on the form was evaluated with two options as "true" and "false". It was scored as "Correct answers = 1" and "Wrong answers = 0". Accordingly, the total score that each parent can get from the "First Aid Knowledge Evaluation Form" was evaluated between 0 and 101.
Measured: Baseline (Day 0) and immediately after intervention (Week 2)
Secondary outcomes (1)
First Aid Practice Score
The 100-question "First Aid Application Skills Evaluation Form" developed by the researcher is used to evaluate parents' application skills in pediatric first aid. Observational checklist used to evaluate parents' first aid application skills. Structured performance checklist includes critical steps in pediatric emergencies. Scores range from 0 to 101; higher scores reflect better skill performance.The form is grouped according to the modules in the training program. In this context, it consists of a total of 100 questions: Module 1: Basic First Aid Application Skills (14 questions); Module 2: Basic Life Support (BLS) Application Skills (9 questions); Module 3: First Aid Application Skills in Traumatic Injuries (39 questions); Module 4: First Aid Application Skills in Medical Emergencies (18 questions); Module 5: First Aid Application Skills in Other Emergencies (20 questions). Each question on the form was evaluated with two options as "applied" and "could not apply".
Measured: Baseline (Day 0) and immediately after intervention (Week 2)
