Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate parents' perception and behaviors in the case of a child safety accident. Methods: The participants were 254 parents of children under 12 years old. Data were collected from October 12 to November 25, 2016 using self-report questionnaire. Results: The mean score for parental perception and behaviors showed a high score of $3.12{\pm}0.30$. In addition, the top three categories were drug management ($3.45{\pm}0.54$), prevention of burns ($3.34{\pm}0.52$), and vehicle safety ($3.34{\pm}0.44$). The overall difference in categories of perception and behaviors about child safety accidents according to demographic characteristics of participants, was developmental age (F=5.616, p=.004). Most of the categories had significant correlation with other categories. Conclusion: Findings in this study show parental perception and behaviors were relatively high. It is recommended that safety education for parents should be done for a healthy life for their children.
