Abstract

Background: Head trauma is one of the major home accidents among children worldwide and could lead to long-life disabilities or death in severe cases. The worldwide incidence of pediatric traumatic brain injury ranges between 47 and 280 per 100,000 children. To the best of our knowledge, few studies have investigated the knowledge, attitude, and practice toward head trauma among mothers in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This study aims to assess the mother’s knowledge, reaction, and immediate action toward head trauma of children under five years in Riyadh city, 2020-2021.

Methodology: A cross-sectional study using an online questionnaire was developed locally in Cluster one in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The study included 390 mothers who met the inclusion criteria. Data was collected by MS Excel and analyzed using SPSS version 26.

Results: In this study, we collected data from 390 mothers of children under five years old who responded to our distributed questionnaire. Most of the participants were between 31-40 years old (40 %), while 31.5 % were between 20-30 years old. Considering the source of knowledge of mothers toward home accidents, we found that 6 % did not know about home accidents, while 45 % took their knowledge from social media, and 14.9 % from school books. Furthermore, we found that 71.28 % of the mothers strongly agreed about the importance of attending courses on head trauma.

Conclusion: We found that the level of knowledge among mothers in Al Riyadh region toward managing head trauma and preventing home injuries among children is sub-adequate. Many factors affect this knowledge, including maternal education, monthly income and occupation, and attending first aid training.

Key words: head trauma, knowledge, attitude and practice, mothers Saudi Arabia
