Abstract: Children are viewed as the foundation of a powerful country. Even though they are so young, children have the power to positively impact the country. Given that the future of the nation rests with them, they are the responsible citizens of the future.
Objectives: The objectives of the study are to determine the relationship between the socio-demographic characteristics of parents of children under five and the Pre-Test knowledge scores, as well as to gauge the effectiveness of the Self Instructional Module (SIM) in raising the knowledge of child safety among parents of children under five.
Methodology: Pre- and post-test research design was the method chosen for this investigation. A handy sampling strategy known as non-probability was modified to choose the samples for the proposed investigation. A sample of 50 was chosen from every parent. The same questionnaire used for the pre-test was utilized for the post-test, which was given seven days following the self-instruction module that preceded the pre-test. The investigator in this study employed a structured knowledge questionnaire to gauge parents' awareness of child safety issues for children under five.
Result: According to the computed t value, which was (t=2.05) substantially higher than the table value (t=1.68) at the 0.05 level of significance, the study found that there was a significant difference between the post-test knowledge score of parents on child safety.
Conclusion: The study's conclusions demonstrated that SIM was successful in raising parents' awareness of child safety.
