Brief summary
Objective: This study will evaluate the effects of simulation-based nursing interventions on mothers of 2-4 year old children's ability to take safety precautions against home accidents, maintain parental supervision, and improve first aid knowledge and skills in home accidents. Materials and Methods: This randomized, controlled experimental study will be conducted in accordance with the CONSORT 2025 guideline. A total of 48 mothers 24 in the intervention group and 24 in the control group residing in the Karatay district of Konya province and meeting the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. Data will be collected using an "Introductory Information Form," the "Safety Precautions for Children Aged 0-6 Scale," the "Parents' Supervisory Behavior Profile Scale," and the "First Aid Self Efficacy Scale for Home Accidents." Mothers in the intervention group will receive a six week nursing intervention consisting of a guidebook, educational sessions, video presentations, image analysis, and simulations. The control group will not receive any interventions. Post intervention, educational materials will be shared with the control group. Research data will be analyzed using SPSS 29 statistical software. Parametric and nonparametric tests based on normal distribution, analysis of variance, effect size, confidence interval, and Intention to Treat analyzes will be used for between group and within time comparisons. Conclusion: The results of this study are expected to contribute to the development of evidence based educational practices to prevent home accidents, increase control skills, and strengthen first aid self efficacy in mothers.

Masking description
Because interventions for the intervention group will be administered by the researcher, and participants will be aware that they are in the experimental group, blinding of researcher and participant is not possible. Statistical blinding will be ensured because coded data in the study will be analyzed by an independent statistician. Furthermore, blinding will be applied throughout the data collection and reporting processes to control reporting biases.
Intervention model description
This study employs a parallel group pretest posttest randomized controlled experimental design.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Scale for diagnosing mothers safety precautions against home accidents in children aged 0-6 | 6 weeks | The scale was developed to determine the safety precautions taken by mothers of children aged 0-6 to protect their children from home accidents. The 5-point Likert-type scale consists of 40 items, 34 positive and 6 negative (items 6, 9, 23, 26, 30, and 40). Positive items are scored as Always (5), Most of the Time (4), Sometimes (3), Rarely (2), and Never (1); and negative items are scored as Always (1), Most of the Time (2), Sometimes (3), Rarely (4), and Never (5). The highest possible score is 200, and the lowest is 40. Higher scores indicate that mothers take the highest level of precautions to protect themselves from home accidents. Cronbach's alpha for the study is 0.82. |
| Parents Supervisory Behavior Profile Scale | 6 weeks | The scale aims to measure the risk of unintentional injury to children aged 2-5 under parental supervision. The scale has a 5-point Likert-type structure. Each item is scored from 1 to 5. Negatively worded items (items 13 and 17) are reverse-coded. The scale consists of 29 items and four subscales: protectiveness (9 items), supervision needs (9 items), risk tolerance (8 items), and belief that fate controls the child's health (3 items). The internal consistency coefficient of the scale is 0.75, and the subscales range from 0.57 to 0.79. |
| First Aid Self Efficacy Scale for Home Accidents | 6 weeks | The scale determines the first aid self-efficacy levels of mothers of children aged 0-4 in the event of a home accident. The scale consists of 12 items with a 5-point Likert-type structure and a single dimension. Responses are scored as follows: Strongly agree (5), Agree (4), Undecided (3), Disagree (2), and Strongly disagree (1). The highest possible score is 60; the lowest is 12. Higher scores indicate increased self-efficacy in first aid. The study's Cronbach's alpha was 0.84. |
