Objective: Accidents, the majority of which can be prevented, are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children. In the 0-6 years age group in particular, the vast majority of accidents occur in the home or surroundings. Therefore, the knowledge and awareness of mothers is of great importance in the prevention of accidents. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency, type and risk factors of home accidents in children aged 0-6 years, and to determine the precautions taken against home accidents by the mothers. Method: This descriptive, questionnaire study was conducted on the mothers of children aged 0-6 years who presented at the Pediatrics Polyclinic of Cumhuriyet University Hospital, Sivas. Mothers completed the questionnaire which was composed of four chapters and included the “Scale for Identification by Mothers of the Safety Measures Taken by Mothers to Prevent Home Accidents in Children in the 0-6 Age Group”. Results: The study included 375 mothers. The rate of accidents requiring hospitalization in chidren was 38.9%. The most frequent accidents were falls and poisonings. The scale points of the mothers were mean 177.25±14.62. A significant relationship was determined between the scale points of the mother and maternal education level, number of children, a child aged <2 years in the home, maternal health status, place of residence, safety precautions taken by the mother, the presence of a dependent cared for at home, the mother’s perception of the child’s character, the use of a baby walker and use of a car-child-seat (p<0.05). The risk of home accident requiring hospitalization was determined to be increased 2.09-fold in a family with ≥2 children compared to those with one child, by 1.76-fold if the mother was caring for the child rather than another person, and by 1.58-fold if the mother had not completed high school or university. Conclusions: Providing information to mothers about in a timely and manner of taking appropriate precautions against home accidents should be a part of routine child examinations.
