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.

Introduction: Paediatric emergencies are the leading causes of death in children under five years of age. The toddlers, preschoolers with highest curiosity to explore, investigate and with the ability to run and play are more prone to getting injuries like falls, burns, cuts, bites, stings, poisoning, fracture, chocking, and wounds. 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. But still the mothers require the need of pediatric first aid health information among mothers to save and safe the children.   Keywords: Knowledge, Pediatric First Aid Management, Mothers with Under Five Children.

Knowledge And Practice

Mothers are fundamental caregivers for under-five children and thus, family participation in child health services is very important. Therefore, a quasi-experimental study for promoting key family practices of mothers with under-five children was conducted among 278 respondents from Oaktwin Cantonment and Inndaing Cantonment in 2014. Data were collected by face-to-face interview with pretested structured questionnaire. Health promotion program including health education and advocacy for unit supports was implemented in study group. Before intervention, baseline data of respondents and pre-intervention knowledge and practices levels were identified. In the three-month and six-month after interventions, post-intervention data collection was done in both groups and data were analyzed. Findings show that there was a statistically significant difference of knowledge and practice scores between study group and control group after three-month interventions (t=10.827, p<0.0001, eta squared=0.297 and t=8.2, p<0.0001, eta squared=0.195, respectively), and six-month post-intervention (t=10.035, p<0.0001, eta squared=0.267 and t=8.773, p<0.0001, eta squared=0.304, respectively). Moreover, knowledge and practice level within study groups have a significant effect for time (F=160.45, p<0.0001 and F=113.06, p<0.0001, respectively) and the magnitude of this effect was also large (eta squared=0.699 for knowledge and 0.621 for practice). At the same time, knowledge and practice of control group have a significant effect for time (F=3.648, p=0.029 and F=19.564, p<0.0001, respectively) but this effect was very small. It can be asserted that health promotion program can improve the knowledge and practice of mothers regarding key family practices. The findings of current study might be a cornerstone for improvement of maternal knowledge and practice on caring for children in the military community.
