Gamified Approach To Burn Education

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether different educational strategies can improve knowledge acquisition regarding burn prevention and first aid among students enrolled in a community-based preparatory course. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does participation in a serious digital game improve knowledge about burn prevention and first aid compared with a traditional lecture? Researchers will compare a serious digital game with a face-to-face educational lecture to determine differences in knowledge acquisition and participant satisfaction between the two educational approaches. Participants will: Receive a brief (5 minutes) standardized introductory explanation about basic concepts of burns; Be randomized to participate in either a serious digital game or a face-to-face educational lecture; Complete knowledge assessment questionnaires prior to and after the intervention; Complete a satisfaction questionnaire; Attend a follow-up assessment two weeks after the intervention.

Health Belief Model-Based Web Education for Preventing Home Accidents in Mothers of Children Aged 0-3

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.
