Impact of Organized Educational Programs on Mothers' Knowledge of Preventing Mishaps at Home for Their Children in Urban Bangalore

In a quasi-experimental study, sixty respondents from Kerendahalli answered questions about how organized strategies affect parents' perceptions of keeping their children safe at home. The non-probability purposive sampling method was used to choose the study's sample. To gather information from the participants, the researcher has created a systematic interview schedule. Graphs and charts were used to analyze and visualize the gathered data using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Of the sixty people, fourteen (23.3%) did not know enough to avoid mishaps during the pretest. Prior to intervention, there was a dearth of knowledge regarding the prevention of home accidents among mothers' children; the percentage of mothers who had acceptable and good knowledge on the topic was only 31 (51.7) and 15 (25%), respectively. Nevertheless, according to the post-test results, out of 60 respondents, 21 (35%) had moderate knowledge and 39 (65%) had high knowledge about how to prevent accidents at home for kids. The mean score for total knowledge on the pretest was 16.32 with a standard deviation of 6.62, while the posttest resulted in a mean of 31.02 with a standard deviation of 4.99. It proves the effectiveness of the intervention. Mothers' age, profession, education, and degree of awareness about preventing accidents in children are highly correlated. The study's findings support that. Using a coordinated teaching approach, mothers' awareness of how to avoid accidents at home with their children was enhanced.
