Abstract: (137 Views)
Aims: This study aimed to investigate the effect of a health education program on empowering mothers in preventing home accidents among rural children under 5 years old in Ilam County.
Methods: This research was a randomized controlled trial involving 88 mothers with children under five years old attending healthcare houses in Ilam County. They were randomly assigned to the intervention group and control group. A one-month online educational intervention was implemented for the intervention group using the WhatsApp application, while the control group received no education. Data were collected using a questionnaire assessing the constructs of the health belief model regarding home accidents in children, which was completed online by the study participants for baseline and 3 months later. The study data were analyzed using SPSS version 16 software, employing independent sample T-test, paired sample T-test, and Wilcoxon tests at a significance level of 0.05.
Findings: The mean age of participants was 29.7±7.4 years. The findings of the pre-test phase indicated no significant difference in the mean constructs of the health belief model regarding preventing home accidents between the two groups (P > 0.05). Independent sample t-test results showed a significant increase in the mean components of the health belief model in the intervention group compared to the control group after 3 months of follow-up (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Designing interventions based on the health belief model can be effective in empowering mothers to prevent accidents in rural children under five years old.
