What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

• 5E Model-Based Simulation Training GroupOther

  Participants in the 5E Model-Based Simulation Training Group will receive a comprehensive five-week training program based on the 5E instructional model, including theoretical instruction, mannequin-based practice, and simulation-based scenarios. The simulation-based activities will cover common pediatric emergencies such as airway obstruction, loss of consciousness, bleeding, dehydration, psychological first aid, and basic life support

• Standard Training GroupOther

  Participants in the Standard Training Group will receive a five-week training program with the same duration and educational content as the 5E Model-Based Simulation Training Group, including theoretical instruction and mannequin-based practice, but without simulation-based scenarios. This design will allow the assessment of the added effect of 5E model-based simulation training on training effectiveness.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

1. Parent and Child Descriptive Information Form,

   The Parent and Child Descriptive Information Form is a 10-item form used to collect demographic and background information about the parents and their children with special needs. The form includes questions regarding the participant's age, sex, education level, marital status, employment status, economic status, duration of providing care to the child with special needs, previous participation in similar training programs, and the age and sex of the child receiving care.

   Measured: Pre-training assessment(to)=Before the first training session (November 6, 2026)

2. First Aid Knowledge Assessment Form:

   The First Aid Knowledge Assessment Form is a 30-item instrument used to assess parents' knowledge of first aid. It evaluates knowledge related to general first aid, basic life support, foreign body airway obstruction, injuries, bleeding and shock, disorders of consciousness, burns, heatstroke and frostbite, fractures, dislocations and sprains, and poisoning. Each item is answered as "Yes," "No," or "I don't know." Correct responses are scored as 1 point, whereas incorrect or "I don't know" responses are scored as 0 points. Total scores range from 0 to 30.

   Measured: Pre-training assessment(t0) and Post-training assessment(t1)=Before the first training session (November 6, 2026) and immediately after the fifth training session (December 4, 2026)

3. Basic Health Education Knowledge Assessment Form:

   The Basic Health Education Knowledge Assessment Form is a 14-item instrument developed by the researchers to assess parents' knowledge of topics covered in the basic health education program. The form evaluates knowledge related to pediatric emergencies, nutrition, home health and safety, and psychological first aid. Each item is answered as "Yes," "No," or "I don't know." Correct responses are scored as 1 point, whereas incorrect or "I don't know" responses are scored as 0 points. Total scores range from 0 to 14.

   Measured: Pre-training assessment(t0) and Post-training assessment(t1)=Before the first training session (November 6, 2026) and immediately after the fifth training session (December 4, 2026)

4. First Aid Skills Evaluation Form:

   The First Aid Skills Evaluation Form is a 36-item instrument developed by the researchers to assess parents' practical first aid skills. The form evaluates basic first aid, management of airway obstruction, minor bleeding control, and basic life support skills for three age groups: infants (0-1 year), children (1-8 years), and adults. Each skill is rated on a 0-2 scale, with 0 indicating unable or incorrect performance, 1 indicating partially correct or assisted performance, and 2 indicating fully correct performance. Total scores range from 0 to 72.

   Measured: Post-training assessment(t1)=Immediately after the fifth training session (December 4, 2026)
