Child home accidental injury is a global health issue, and promoting child safety is a pediatric nursing challenge worldwide. Planning child home accidental injury prevention requires understanding of factors influencing parents' behavior. Evidence suggests that participatory health promotion positively influences behavior; however, research on Thai parents is limited. This qualitative, action research study aimed to understand Thai parents' experiences of participating in a collaborative child home accidental injury prevention program and its influence on their behavior. Eight parental mother/father couples from one Thai province consented to participate, providing a wide range of data via in-depth individual interviews and self-assessment questionnaires. Thematic analysis of interview transcripts yielded three themes: collaborative learning, parental behavior change, and reflective learning extends beyond families. Participants reported that workshop participation improved their child home accidental injury-prevention behavior. The present study can inform pediatric nursing, child health-care practice, and child health policy in Thailand and beyond.
儿童家庭意外伤害是一个全球性的健康问题，促进儿童安全是全球儿科护理面临的一项挑战。规划儿童家庭意外伤害预防需要了解影响父母行为的因素。有证据表明，参与式健康促进对行为有积极影响；然而，针对泰国父母的研究有限。这项定性的行动研究旨在了解泰国父母参与儿童家庭意外伤害预防合作项目的经历及其对他们行为的影响。来自泰国一个省份的八对父母（母亲/父亲）夫妇同意参与，通过深入的个人访谈和自我评估问卷提供了广泛的数据。对访谈记录的主题分析产生了三个主题：合作学习、父母行为改变以及反思性学习超越家庭。参与者报告说，参加研讨会改善了他们预防儿童家庭意外伤害的行为。本研究可为泰国及其他地区的儿科护理、儿童保健实践和儿童健康政策提供参考。
