Abstract: (569 Views)
Background: Injuries caused by accidents are considered one of the leading causes of death in children under 5 years old. This study was conducted to determine the effect of educational intervention based on protection motivation theory (PMT) on preventive behaviors of mothers with under 5 years old children regarding domestic accidents in their children.
Methods: This semi-experimental study was an educational intervention conducted on 190 mothers with children under 5 years of age who referred to comprehensive health centers in Rasht City, Iran, from December 2020 to January 2021. The samples were assigned to two experimental and control groups using a stratified random sampling method. The data collection tool was the demographic information questionnaire and PMT constructs that were completed before, immediately after, and one month later. The educational intervention consisted of 4 60-minute training sessions for the experimental group. Data were analyzed using Fisher's exact test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and independent t-test.
Findings: After implementing the educational intervention, a statistically significant difference was observed in the average scores of perceived vulnerabilities, perceived response efficiency, perceived response cost, perceived self-efficacy, and domestic accidents prevention behaviors in the intervention group and the control group (P < 0.001). However, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the mean of perceived severity (P = 0.005).
Conclusion: In general, PMT can be used as a framework for designing educational programs to promote prevention behaviors of home accidents in mothers with children less than five years old.
