Childhood accidents and sudden health emergencies are significant public health concerns that may lead to severe injury or death. Parents, as primary caregivers, play a critical role in providing timely first aid and basic health interventions; however, studies indicate that their knowledge and practical skills are often limited, particularly among families of children with special needs. Therefore, structured training programs are essential. This study aims to evaluate the effect of 5E (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate)model-based simulation training in first aid and basic health on the knowledge and practical skills of parents of children with special needs. By integrating active learning, hands-on workshops, and interactive teaching methods, the program seeks to enhance theoretical knowledge and practical competence, ultimately supporting safer and more effective responses to pediatric emergencies.
483 studies on the registry are indexed under Health Education; 112 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 66 is below the median of 132 across 452 interventional studies indexed under Health Education.

Age 18 years or older Being a parent of a child with special needs Living with the child with special needs Being able to read and write in Turkish Not being a healthcare professional providing care to the child Having no previous first aid training
Exclusion Criteria:
Having a visual or speech impairment Not living with the child with special needs
Withdrawal Criteria:
Voluntary withdrawal from the study Failure to attend the required training sessions during the five-week training program Failure to participate in the post-training assessment
Participants in the Control Group will not receive any theoretical instruction, practice, or simulation-based training during the study period and will be observed as a no-intervention control group.
Participants in the 5E Model-Based Simulation Training Group will receive a comprehensive five-week training program including theoretical instruction, mannequin-based practice, and simulation-based scenarios. The simulation-based activities will cover common pediatric emergencies such as airway obstruction, loss of consciousness, bleeding, dehydration, psychological first aid, and basic life support.
Other: 5E Model-Based Simulation Training Group
Participants in the Standard Training Group will receive a five-week training program with the same duration and educational content as the 5E Model-Based Simulation Training Group, including theoretical instruction and mannequin-based practice, but without simulation-based scenarios. This design will allow the assessment of the added effect of 5E model-based simulation training on training effectiveness.
Other: Standard Training Group
Participants in the 5E Model-Based Simulation Training Group will receive a comprehensive five-week training program based on the 5E instructional model, including theoretical instruction, mannequin-based practice, and simulation-based scenarios. The simulation-based activities will cover common pediatric emergencies such as airway obstruction, loss of consciousness, bleeding, dehydration, psychological first aid, and basic life support

Parent and Child Descriptive Information Form,
The Parent and Child Descriptive Information Form is a 10-item form used to collect demographic and background information about the parents and their children with special needs. The form includes questions regarding the participant's age, sex, education level, marital status, employment status, economic status, duration of providing care to the child with special needs, previous participation in similar training programs, and the age and sex of the child receiving care.
Time frame: Pre-training assessment(to)=Before the first training session (November 6, 2026)
First Aid Knowledge Assessment Form:
The First Aid Knowledge Assessment Form is a 30-item instrument used to assess parents' knowledge of first aid. It evaluates knowledge related to general first aid, basic life support, foreign body airway obstruction, injuries, bleeding and shock, disorders of consciousness, burns, heatstroke and frostbite, fractures, dislocations and sprains, and poisoning. Each item is answered as "Yes," "No," or "I don't know." Correct responses are scored as 1 point, whereas incorrect or "I don't know" responses are scored as 0 points. Total scores range from 0 to 30.
Time frame: Pre-training assessment(t0) and Post-training assessment(t1)=Before the first training session (November 6, 2026) and immediately after the fifth training session (December 4, 2026)
Basic Health Education Knowledge Assessment Form:
The Basic Health Education Knowledge Assessment Form is a 14-item instrument developed by the researchers to assess parents' knowledge of topics covered in the basic health education program. The form evaluates knowledge related to pediatric emergencies, nutrition, home health and safety, and psychological first aid. Each item is answered as "Yes," "No," or "I don't know." Correct responses are scored as 1 point, whereas incorrect or "I don't know" responses are scored as 0 points. Total scores range from 0 to 14.
Time frame: Pre-training assessment(t0) and Post-training assessment(t1)=Before the first training session (November 6, 2026) and immediately after the fifth training session (December 4, 2026)
First Aid Skills Evaluation Form:
The First Aid Skills Evaluation Form is a 36-item instrument developed by the researchers to assess parents' practical first aid skills. The form evaluates basic first aid, management of airway obstruction, minor bleeding control, and basic life support skills for three age groups: infants (0-1 year), children (1-8 years), and adults. Each skill is rated on a 0-2 scale, with 0 indicating unable or incorrect performance, 1 indicating partially correct or assisted performance, and 2 indicating fully correct performance. Total scores range from 0 to 72.
Time frame: Post-training assessment(t1)=Immediately after the fifth training session (December 4, 2026)

Plan to share: No — Participant data may be shared upon reasonable request.
Start is estimated for Nov 2026; primary completion for Jan 2027, 2 months later.
Of 292 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Health Education, half reached primary completion within 11 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 3 and three quarters within 24. This study's planned 2 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 293 studies reached it within 11 months; a quarter within 3 and three quarters within 24.
