The study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of an educational intervention on improving knowledge regarding safety precautions among senior citizens residing in old age homes at Arani and kalavai. A quasi-experimental research design was adopted with a sample size of 40 participants, divided equally into control and experimental groups. Pre-test and post-test questionnaires were used to evaluate the participants’ knowledge levels.

Findings revealed that the majority of participants in both groups had inadequate knowledge in the pre-test. After the intervention, the experimental group showed a significant improvement in knowledge, with 80% demonstrating adequate understanding in the post-test, compared to only 10% in the control group. A significant association was observed between pre- and post-test knowledge levels in the experimental group, indicating the effectiveness of the educational program. Additionally, factors such as education level and duration of stay were positively correlated with higher knowledge levels.

The study concludes that structured educational interventions are effective in enhancing the safety awareness of elderly residents, thereby contributing to their overall well-being and safety in old age homes.
