Article Abstract

Background: Over the past 5 years, the accident rate for children aged 1 to 6 has shown a decreasing trend, whereas the rate for infants (0-1 year) has been increasing in South Korea. This study aims to implement an intervention to improve infant safety among Vietnamese immigrant mothers in South Korea.

Design And Methods: This study utilized a pre- and post-test design with 15 Vietnamese immigrant mothers who were recruited from the Multicultural Family Support Center in C city, Korea. The research tools were safety knowledge, safety beliefs, and safety self-efficacy, and data collection was conducted through written surveys before and after the intervention. Then the collected data were analyzed using a -test for statistical analysis.

Results: The intervention resulted in a significant improvement in participants' safety knowledge, safety beliefs, and safety self-efficacy (all  = 0.001).

Conclusions: These results demonstrate that the immigrant mothers are effective in preventing infant safety accidents and unintended injuries.
