Abstract:
Introduction: Unintentional injuries among children are considered a major public health concern since they are
one of the leading causes of child death and disability. Inadequate study has been done on whether and how parental influences are linked to childhood injury at home especially among the community with low-socioeconomic
status. The study aims to determine the factors affecting unintentional home injury prevention practice among low
socioeconomic status (B40) parents of under-five children in Selangor, Malaysia. Methods: This is a cross-sectional
and quantitative study. A sample size of 453 parents will be sampled among B40 parents with under-five children in
Selangor using a stratified random sampling method. For analysis, only complete questionnaires will be used. Data
entry and statistical analysis will be carried out using IBM SPSS version 28.0. Chi-square/Fisher Exact test and simple
logistic regression will be used for data analysis. Multiple logistic regression will be used to examine the predictors
of poor home injury prevention practice. Discussion: Findings from the study will provide insight on challenges experienced by B40 parents of children under five in implementing preventive injury measures at home.
