Children live in a world constructed by and for adults. From infancy to adulthood, children undergo developmental changes that influence their curiosity, perceptions, risk-taking behavior, and reactions, affecting their susceptibility to injuries. India accounted for 11.1% of all unintentional injury deaths globally. Nearly 7% of all deaths in India, considering all age groups, are accounted by injuries (723178), and nearly 10% of these deaths (1 out of 10 deaths) occur among children aged 0-14 years. Keeping this scenario in mind, the investigator conducted a planned teaching programme on knowledge regarding the prevention of accidents in under-five children among mothers in a selected village, Gwalior, to reduce global and national burden. The study result shows that pre and post test difference mean value was 13.42 with a standard deviation of 3.74, and the calculated t value was 25.32. The standard error of the mean was 0.53. It was statistically significant at P<0.05 level. This result shows the significant improvement of knowledge on the prevention of accidents in under-five children among mothers.
