20. Section III: Association between knowledge scores and
selected variables
• To test the association between knowledge scores and selected
demographic variables, the following null hypothesis was
formulated:
• H01: There will be no significant association between the
knowledge score of adults and the selected baseline variables.

21. Section III: Association between knowledge scores and
selected variables
 The chi-square value computed between the level of knowledge
and selected demographic variables, i.e., age (c2
2=1.093) Religion
(c2
2=2.155), Type of family (c2
2=2.614), number of children below
5 years of age (c2
2=.398) educational status (c2
3=1.840) of the
mothers and whether the child met with any type of accidents
(c2
1=.368) not significant at 0.05 level.
 Thus, it can be interpreted that there was no significant
association between knowledge of mothers of under five children
and selected variables.
 Therefore, the null hypothesis (H01) was accepted and research
hypothesis was rejected.

22. DISCUSSION
Majority of the samples :
Belongs to age group :- 32-37 (38%)
Were Muslims (46%)
Belonged to nuclear family (40%)
were having one child (50%)
Were having primary education (38%)
Children had not met with any home accidents (90%)

23. DISCUSSION
1. The present study showed
1. majority (54%) of the respondents had moderate
knowledge,
2. 44% had adequate knowledge,
3. (4%) had inadequate knowledge.
2. There was no significant association between knowledge of
mothers of under-five children and selected variables such
as age, religion, type of family, number of children below 5
years of age, whether the child met with any type of
accidents.

24. DISCUSSION
• Comparison with other studies at national level was also
done.
• In one of the study similar findings of socio demographic data
is found and in another study similar study results were
found.
• The findings of the present study are contradicting the results
of another study which showed significant association
between mothers age, education, occupation, socio economic
status, type of family and knowledge regarding first aid
management (p<0.05)

25. CONCLUSION
• The assessment of the knowledge among mothers of under-five
children on prevention of home accidents revealed that majority
(54%) of the respondents had moderate knowledge, 44% had
adequate knowledge, least (4%) had inadequate knowledge.
• The assessment of the association of knowledge among mothers
with selected baseline variables revealed that there is an
association between knowledge and the selected baseline
variables.
• Recommendations: Educating the mothers is necessary to take
adequate precautions to prevent home accidents among under
five children.

26. LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
• Only one of the factors, i.e., knowledge on prevention home
accidents was assessed.
• A structured questionnaire was used to collect information
on knowledge regarding prevention of home accidents; the
responses were, therefore restricted.
• No attempt was made to follow-up to measure the gain of
knowledge after the collection data.

27. RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the findings of the present study, following
recommendations are offered for further researchers:
• The study can be replicated among urban mothers also.
• A comparative study can be conducted to assess the
knowledge under-five rural mother and urban mother.
• A large-scale study needs to be carried out to generalise the
findings.
• A planned teaching program can be conducted to improve
the knowledge of mothers on prevention of home
accidents.

30. IMPACT FACTOR
WHAT IS IMPACT FACTOR?
The impact factor (IF) is a measure of the
frequency with which the average article in a journal has been
cited in a particular year. It is used to measure the importance or
rank of a journal by calculating the times its articles are cited.
IF – or Journal Impact Factor is calculated as the
average of the sum of the citations received in a given year to a
journal's previous two years of publications, divided by the sum
of “citable” publications in the previous two years

31. HOW DO IMPACT FACTOR IS
CALCULATED?
The annual JCR impact factor is a ratio between
citations and recent citable items published. Thus,
the impact factor of a journal is calculated
by dividing the number of current year citations to
the source items published in that journal during the
previous two years

32. WHAT IS A GOOD IMPACT FACTOR
FOR Journals?
In general, an impact factor of 10 or higher is
considered remarkable, while 3 is good, and the
average score is less than 1.
