CONCLUSION
It was concluded that there was an increase of knowledge of mothers on the prevention of accidents in childhood
through the educational intervention performed in this study.
Although educational tool used in the intervention was the media, it was realized its importance to facilitate
discussion on the topic with the subjects. As a result, it is suggested to use it in later studies about other educational
tools that enhance the teaching-learning process and shared discussion.
In terms of educational interventions on the prevention of accidents in childhood, the low number of researchers
mostly provides information about epidemiological survey and literature reviews. In fact, there is a few number of
articles about strategies for improving knowledge performed by nurses.120 The Open Nursing Journal, 2016, Volume 10 Silva et al.
The results of this study reaffirm the need to perform educational interventions to increase mothers' knowledge
about prevention of childhood accidents because when these interventions are well planned and implemented, they
benefit to subjects with the acquisition of knowledge that will influence their behaviors, own health and the health of
their families.
