The aim of this research is to examine the effect of education for home accidents given to mothers with mentally disabled children in the age group of 0-6.
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).
