Özet
Objective: Home accidents are common, preventable, and significant public health problems that may result in serious injuries, disabilities, fatalities, and financial as well as emotional losses. This study aimed to evaluate mothers’ perspectives on the use and effectiveness of an educational material consisting of a storybook and its animated version, designed to prevent home accidents in children aged 0-6 years, and to identify their educational needs. Material and Methods: The study included 122 mothers of children enrolled in a kindergarten in Artvin, Türkiye. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews between January 10 and February 10, 2024, using a “Personal Information Form” and a “Material Usage Evaluation Form.” The educational material consisted of a visually illustrated and narrated storybook and an animated film of the same story. This study was supported by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Türkiye (TÜBİTAK) under project number 1919B012312076. Results: The mean age of the mothers was 34.6±4.4 years; 63.9% were employed, and 59% had a university degree. The children’s mean age was 4.5±0.9 years, and 51.6% were girls. No significant associations were found between the occurrence of home accidents and the child’s gender, age, mother’s employment status, or family type (p>0.05). Additionally, 78.7% of the mothers found the storybook appropriate for educational purposes, 78.7% believed that home accidents were preventable, and 86.1% had never received any training from healthcare professionals regarding accident prevention. Conclusion: Mothers provided highly positive feedback on the content and purpose of the storybook and animated film, indicating that this material could serve as an effective educational tool. Future research should highlight the role of nurses in preventing home accidents and explore the long-term effects of this material in different socioeconomic and cultural contexts.
