This study was conducted to examine the effects of education on home accidents given to mothers of mentally disabled children aged 0-6. The sample of the study consisted of 83 mothers of mentally disabled children aged 0-6 registered in four special education centers in Kocaeli province between May 2023 and June 2024 (education group: 40 mothers; control group: 43 mothers).

The mothers in the control group did not receive any training; the Scale for Identifying Mothers' Safety Precautions for Home Accidents in Children Aged 0-6 was administered during the first interview and again one month later.
