Purpose: This study investigated the experiences of parents with infant safety accidents. In addition, this study analyzed the safety education required by the parents.
Methods: A total of 21 parents with 6- to 12-month-old infants participated in the study. Data were gathered by one-on-one interviews with the parents using a semi-structured interview guide that included experiences with safety accidents and safety education. Content analysis was used.
Results: Most safety accidents involving infants occurred at home, and the most common type of accident was falls. Because infant safety accidents occurred suddenly, it was difficult for parents to predict them.
Parents reported a lack of first aid information or the ability to deal with safety accidents. They felt guilty for the safety accidents. The safety education contents they requested were first aid practice and home environment management. Home visits, group education, and mobil e applications were the preferred methods for providing the safety education.
Conclusion: To reduce the difficulties that parents face in safety accidents, infant safety education for parents is needed that provides a parental education program about first aid practices and home environment management. Additionally, to meet the needs of the parents, various modes of delivery for the safety education course should be developed.
