Abstract: BACKGROUND Research was carried out to train families with children between the ages of 0-6 years regarding home accidents and how to make their homes safer. METHODS Five hundred and sixty-three people who exhibited potential trainer qualities and who dealt directly children aged 0-6 years and their families were trained. Trainers applied a home accident safety test to 5117 mothers. Each trainer interviewed 10 mothers with children aged 0-6 years, and a short training was provided and brochures were delivered. Home accident safety products were distributed to 500 homes with low home accident safety scores, and these homes were evaluated regarding the usage of the products. RESULTS A significant difference was found between pretest-posttest average scores of trainers. The average score on the home accident safety test was 75.50±8.22 before the distribution of home accident safety products, and this increased to 90.50±7.77 after the distribution of those products, and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). CONCLUSION Training the families on risk factors and ways of making their homes safer could be recommended to protect children aged 0-6 years from home accidents.
