Summary

This study tests whether hands-on Heimlich maneuver training improves knowledge, skills, and confidence in mothers of children with disabilities aged 1-8. Seventy mothers are randomly assigned to receive training or serve as a control group. Researchers measure changes in first aid knowledge, self-efficacy, and anxiety one month after training.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Heimlich Maneuver training
What this could lead to
If effective, this training could help mothers of children with disabilities respond correctly to choking emergencies, potentially saving lives.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with 70 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The training's long-term retention and real-world impact remain uncertain.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Be a mother of a child with a disability, aged 1-8, who is enrolled in a rehabilitation center. 2. Be 18 years of age or older. 3. Be able to read and understand the research protocol, provide written informed consent, and agree to participate. 4. Be physically able to participate in the training (standing/model-based exercises). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Must have previously received professional Heimlich maneuver/first aid training (those who have taken a course within the last 2 years). 2. Those who are unable to participate in hands-on training due to physical limitations (e.g., severe heart disease, mobility issues). 3. Individuals determined to be unsuitable for training or assessments due to psychiatric or neurological conditions. 4. Children with severe respiratory system disorders (e.g., tracheostomy, severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia), 5. Children who have undergone heart surgery or have a serious cardiac anomaly, 6. Children with severe orthopedic or neurological disabilities for whom performing the Heimlich maneuver may be risky, 7. Children with congenital anomalies of the trachea or upper respiratory tract (e.g., tracheoesophageal fistula), 8. Children requiring mechanical ventilator support or continuous oxygen therapy. 9. Withdrawing from participation during the study or failing to attend any of the training/testing sessions.
