Parents are the first responders to such emergencies; however, evidence on their first-aid knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) remains scarce in Palestine, where nation-wide injury surveillance data are limited.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To assess parents\u2019 KAP regarding first aid for home-related injuries among children younger than 5 years in the West Bank, Palestine, and to examine selected demographic characteristics as correlates of KAP scores.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A descriptive cross-sectional design was used. Data were collected from April 12 to May 17, 2023, in three governmental pediatric hospitals in the West Bank using convenience sampling. A total of 119 parents were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire comprising 12 knowledge items, 14 attitude items (5-point Likert scale), and 11 practice items. Internal consistency was acceptable to excellent (knowledge \u03b1 = .70; attitudes \u03b1 = .83; practices \u03b1 = .93). Descriptive statistics and bivariate analysis were performed using SPSS version 26 (p &lt; .05). Absence of a priori sample-size calculation is acknowledged as a limitation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Most respondents were mothers (91.6%), aged 20\u201330 years (45.4%). Overall, 83.4% demonstrated good knowledge, most held favorable attitudes, and 76.1% reported safe practices. Falls were the most common emergency (48.7% reported a home emergency in the past three months), followed by burns and choking. Persistent misconceptions included inserting objects into a seizing child\u2019s mouth (49.6%), inducing vomiting after chemical poisoning (24.4%), and improper ear foreign-body removal (48.7%). Higher education and medical information sources were significantly associated with better KAP scores (p &lt; .05).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although parents demonstrated adequate first-aid KAP overall, important knowledge gaps and unsafe practices persisted. Nurse-led education targeting high-risk misconceptions, broader first-aid training access, and evidence-based guidance through official channels are recommended to reduce preventable childhood injuries in Palestine.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/23779608261472598","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,21]],"date-time":"2026-07-21T12:14:53Z","timestamp":1784636093000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Parental Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices on First Aid for Home Injuries in Children Under 5 in Palestine: A Cross-Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-0560-9327","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mustafa","family":"Shouli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nablus University for Vocational and Technical Education"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6339-9176","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ibrahim","family":"Aqtam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nablus University for Vocational and Technical Education"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Khaila","family":"Shouli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nablus University for Vocational and Technical Education"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5001\/omj.2020.03"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/jfmpc.jfmpc_2265_20"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/jfmpc.jfmpc_64_18"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/jfcm.JFCM_75_20"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.21608\/efmj.2022.74962.1071"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.32413\/pjph.v11i3.761"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jnn.2023.01.004"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2017\/8084548"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0194263"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12887-021-02517-2"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.18203\/2394-6040.ijcmph20191379"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_13_1","volume-title":"UNICEF DATA","author":"Levels and Trends in Child Mortality 2021","unstructured":"Levels and Trends in Child Mortality 2021.
