Abstract

Home accidental injury has been one of the leading causes of death in children under the age of five, particularly it often happened under guardians’ supervision. Parental behaviour change is needed to reduce the risk of home injury in young children.  The key factors influencing parental behaviour on child home accidental injury prevention include cognition, awareness, anxiety, and intention of parents.  The role of child healthcare provider and nurse is to enhance greater understanding of parental behaviour development in regard to childhood home accidental injury prevention through Gibson’s empowerment concept. This can be a valuable benefit for nursing implications and healthcare providers to shape child health policy and develop child health promotion plan.
