title: Determination of Injury Risks and Safety Measures Taken by Mothers of Children With an Intellectual Disability and Autism Spectrum Disorder.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of the study is to determine the injury risk behaviors and home safety measures in children with an intellectual disability or autism spectrum disorder.
  
  
  METHODS
  The study sample included mothers of 100 children between the ages of 2 and 12 years.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There was a significant difference between the home safety measures and the children's ages, the birth order of the children, and the mother's and father's ages. There was not a significant relationship between the children's ages, diagnosis, and Injury Behavior Checklist (IBC). There is a positive correlation between the total score of the Home Safety Measures Control List and IBC.
