About this trial

The main objective of this project is to raise awareness and equip parents of children with special needs with the knowledge and skills necessary to prevent home accidents through virtual reality applications. Additionally, the project aims to provide parents with basic first aid training and transfer training to ensure appropriate responses in the event of an accident. It also seeks to assess the balance status of children with special needs and to identify potential fall-related risks that may lead to home accidents.

The primary research questions this project aims to address are as follows:

* What is the level of awareness among parents of children with special needs regarding home accidents? * What is the effect of virtual reality simulation on parental awareness of home accident risks? * How does first aid training influence parents' ability to respond to home accidents? * What is the impact of transfer training on parents' preparedness for home accident scenarios? * What are the balance and gait levels of children with special needs, and how might these relate to fall risk at home?

Treatments tested in this trial

  • VR and first aid training

    Other intervention

    Intervention Stages: Stage 1: Descriptive Information Form and the Home Accident Awareness Questionnaire for Parents of Children with Special Needs will be administered to the parents as pre-tests. Stage 2: A total of 100 parents will participate in the virtual reality simulation scenarios, organized into four separate groups of 25 for implementation. Stage 3: Balance assessments for children will be conducted using the Children's Balance Assessment Form, the Tinetti Balance and Gait Assessment, and the Nintendo Wii Fit Balance Board. Stage 4: Each group of 25 participants will receive hands-on training at three different stations focusing on basic first aid and home accidents, delivered by nurses, and transfer training provided by physiotherapists. Stage 5: Post-tests will be administered to the parents using the Home Accident Awareness Questionnaire for Parents of Children with Special Needs.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Awareness of home accidents

The Home Accident Awareness Questionnaire for Parents of Children with Special Needs, a 28-item form developed by the researchers, will be administered twice: once before and once after the VR training program.

Time frame
2 days

Secondary outcomes

1

Balance

The Children's Balance Assessment Form is a yes/no assessment tool developed by the researchers to evaluate the balance status of children with special needs. It will be administered once during Stage 3 of the study.

Time frame
1 day
2

Balance

The Tinetti Balance and Gait Assessment will be used to evaluate balance abilities. This tool assigns scores to specific tasks, with a maximum of 16 points for the balance subscale. A higher score indicates better balance and lower risk of falling. It will be administered once during Stage 3 of the study.

Time frame
1 day
3

Balance

The Nintendo Wii Fit Balance Board will be used to evaluate balance abilities through interactive tasks. It will be administered once during Stage 3 of the study.

Time frame
1 day
4

Gait

The Tinetti Balance and Gait Assessment will also be used to assess gait abilities. The gait subscale has a maximum score of 28. A higher score reflects better gait performance and mobility. This assessment will be performed once during Stage 3 of the study.

Time frame
1 day
