ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To identify the effect of the 'disability prevention program' for elementary school students. METHOD: Our disability prevention program was a 60 minutes program composed of watching an education video for disability prevention and having a conversation with disabled speakers in wheelchairs. A questionnaire to measure the effect of the education was administered among 5,315 students in the 4th to 6th grades. The questionnaire was administered at 7 days before and after education. The questionnaire was to measure the changes in self-efficacy and in confidence to follow safety regulation. Also the questions on satisfaction about program were asked. RESULTS: The result showed that only 9.7% of bicycle owners, 18.9% of inline skate owners wore helmets, 9.3% of quick board (or skateboard) owners wore helmets, and only 47.6% of students fastened seat-belts in a car. After the program was conducted, there were significant improvements in self-efficacy and practice-confidence to wear protective device and to fasten seat belt in a car (p<0.01). The most impressive part of the program for students was 'conversation with disabled speaker' and the next was 'watching the video'. After program was conducted, 51.5% of students answered "I will keep safety regulations in mind and practice it" and 10.1% of students answered "I could learn a better understanding of the disabled and I also want to help them". CONCLUSION: The 'disability prevention program with disabled speakers in wheelchair' was effective in improving the self-efficacy and practice-confidence for safety regulation.
