Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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?

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

As part of the eligibility process, participants will complete the System Usability Scale, a Likert-type questionnaire, once at the beginning of the study. Only individuals scoring in the A+ category (96th-100th percentile) will be included in the intervention phase.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

VR and first aid training

Intervention Type OTHER

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.
