Health Belief Model-Based Web Education for Preventing Home Accidents in Mothers of Children Aged 0-3
Sponsor: Ataturk University
Summary
This randomized controlled experimental study evaluates the effect of a Health Belief Model (HBM)-based web education program on preventing home accidents among mothers of children aged 0-3 years registered in a Family Health Center in Erzurum, Türkiye. Unintentional injuries such as falls, burns, poisoning, choking/aspiration, and cutting/piercing injuries are common in early childhood and often occur in the home environment. Mothers play a critical role in recognizing home hazards and implementing preventive safety behaviors. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group (HBM-based web education) or a control group (usual care). The intervention includes a structured web-based education program delivered over three months, supported by reminder messages via WhatsApp, interactive communication through an "Ask Us" option, and two Zoom meetings during the follow-up period. Outcomes will be measured using the General Self-Efficacy Scale and the Mother Home Accidents Awareness Scale. Baseline data will be collected through face-to-face interviews before the intervention, and post-test data will be collected at the 6th month. The study aims to determine whether HBM-based digital education improves maternal self-efficacy and awareness regarding home accident prevention.
