Aim: a study aim to assess the effectiveness of video assisted teaching programme on knowledge regarding prevention and first aid management of domestic accident among mothers of under five children at selected rural area villupuram. Objectives: To assess the level of knowledge on prevention and first aid management of domestic accident among mother of under five children. To evaluate the effectiveness of video assisted teaching programme on prevention and first aid management on domestic accident among mothers of under five children To associate the post test level of knowledge on prevention and first aid management on domestic accident among mothers of under five children with their selected demographic variables. Methods & Material: A quantitative research approach - Pre-experimental research design with one group pre test and post test design was adopted. 50 samples were selected for the study by using non probability convenient sampling technique. Results: In pre test level of knowledge among 50 samples 41(82%) had inadequate knowledge 7(14%) had moderate knowledge and 2(4%) had adequate knowledge regarding domestic accident .in post test level of knowledge among 50 samples 7(14%) had adequate knowledge and 13(26%) had adequate knowledge regarding domestic accident. The finding reveals that pre test mean was 13.44 with the standard deviation of 2.619 and the post test mean was 18.52 with the standard deviation of 2.651. The mean difference of pre and post test is 5.2, standard error is 0.781. The ‘t’ value of 6.6 is Highly Significant at p <0.05 it indicates that the knowledge level of mothers of under five children are improved after video assisted teaching programme Conclusion: The study concluded that, video assisted teaching programme on domestic accident was effective on improving the knowledge level among mother of under five children.

Foreign body aspiration remains a significant cause of death in children for anatomic as well as developmental reasons. Foreign body aspiration is a potentially life-threatening event because it can block respiration by obstructing the airway, there by impairing oxygenation and ventilation. Mothers, as a primary care giver must be aware of first aid management of foreign body aspiration and measures to prevent it. Hence, the study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of video assisted teaching programme on knowledge regarding first aid management of foreign body aspiration among mothers of under-five children in selected anganwadis under Nadathara Gramapanchayath, Thrissur. The other objectives of the study were to find out the association between level of knowledge with selected demographic variables of mothers regarding first aid management of foreign body aspiration. Quasi experimental one group pre testpost test design was conducted among 30 mothers of underfive children. Samples were selected by using purposive sampling method from 2 anganwadis. Pre test was conducted using structured knowledge questionnaire. It was followed by video assisted teaching of first aid management of foreign body aspiration with appropriate AV aids by the investigator. Post test was done after 7 days and the analysis shows that there is a significant increase in knowledge score of mothers regarding first aid management of foreign body aspiration. Also, the study findings revealed that there is no association between knowledge score of mothers with their selected demographic variables. Thus, the study concluded that the video assisted teaching regarding first aid management of foreign body aspiration was effective in improving the knowledge of mothers.

World Health Organization (WHO) defines accident as an unexpected and an unintended event causing physical and mental injures. Children being less aware of danger are more vulnerable to accidents are one of the five leading causes of death in developing countries yearly. Accidents are main cause of death among children aged between 1-5 years old. As children are explorative in nature a number of accidents occur in this age group. Aims of the study: To assess the knowledge of mothers regarding prevention of home accidents and to find association between the knowledge score of mothers and selected demographic variables. Methodology: A descriptive study approach was adopted and structured questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge of mothers. Convenience sampling technique was used to select the 50 samples from the selected community at Mangalore. The results and Conclusion: Majority (36%) of the mothers belonged to the age group 25-31 years. Half (50%) of the samples are belonged to Muslim community, 60% of the samples were from nuclear family, most (36%) of the samples were having one under five child. Majority 34% had pre-university and 30% had secondary school education. Majority (84 %) of the respondents had moderately adequate knowledge, only few (4 %) had inadequate knowledge and only 12% had adequate knowledge on prevention of home accidents. The maximum score of knowledge score was about 19, range 16, mean 10.54, standard deviation ± 4.20 and the mean percentage was 13. The computed chi-square value chi-square value computed between the level of knowledge and selected demographic variables i.e. age (22=1.093) Religion (22=2.155), Type of family (22=2.614), number of children below 5 years of age (22=.398) educational status (23=1.840) of the mothers and whether the child met with any type of accidents (21=.368) not significant at 0.05 level of significance. Thus, it can be interpreted that there is no significant association between knowledge of mothers of under five children and selected variables. Knowledge of mothers regarding prevention of home accidents was moderately adequate. Under five home accidents are common in India and it is necessary to take adequate precautions to prevent it. Educating mothers is the best way to prevent under five accidents at home.

Paediatric emergency mostly occur in home, roads and grounds. Hence the mothers are expected to be knowledgeable on paediatric first aid management. The objectives of this research to assess the knowledge on pediatric first aid management, to compare the knowledge on pediatric first aid management and to find out association between the knowledge scores of mothers with under five children with selected demographic variables. Methods: A cross sectional analytical study was conducted to assess the knowledge regarding pediatric first aid management among 165 mothers with under five children were selected  in pediatric outpatient department of College of Medical Sciences  Teaching Hospital by non probability purposive sampling technique and data was collected by using structured interview questionnaire. The data was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics SPSS software. Results: Demographic characteristics reveal that highest percentage (61.8 %) of them had one under five children. Comparisons of the knowledge score with demography highest mean and SD in relation to postgraduate shows that (30.2 ± 1.78). The level of knowledge score was (53.9 %) of them had adequate knowledge. However there was significant association between knowledge score with their education, occupation, family income and previous source of information. It revealing that maximum demographic variables do not affected the level of knowledge. Conclusions: The level of knowledge about pediatric first aid management among mothers was satisfactory.
