Examination of Mothers' Home Accident Awareness and First Aid Self-Efficacy.

Background: A mother has a more active role in the care of children, to provide safe childcare in the home environment, awareness and self-efficacy in-home accidents must be established. Aim: This study was conducted to examine mothers' awareness of house accidents and their self-efficacy in first aid. Method: This defined, cross-sectional study was completed with 252 mothers with children aged 0-3 years. The data were collected using the "Introductory Information Form," "Mother Home Accidents Awareness Scale" and " Self-Efficacy of First Aid Scale for Home Accidents". Number, percentage, age distributions, average and standard deviation, were used for descriptive features in the analysis of the obtained data. T-test and ANOVA tests were used to compare the promotional features of the participants with total scale scores and subscale scores. A Pearson correlation test was performed to determine the relationship between parametric data. Results: The research concluded that mothers with an educational status, number of children, a job generating an income, with children aged 0-3 and being a mother after the age of 20 affected household accident awareness by mothers. It has been revealed that your mother's work on a job affects her first-aid self-efficacy. Mothers who were not in a house accident and were therefore not hospitalized have been found to have high awareness of the home accident. Conclusion: It has been determined that unemployed mothers are undereducated, young mothers with too many children and children who have house accidents have a lower level of first-aid self-efficacy and awareness of home accidents.
