The Cool Kids Coalition, a nursing-led initiative, successfully reduced scald burn risks for young children through community education and innovative interventions. This program empowered over 3,000 parents, demonstrating the impact of public health nursing in injury prevention.

Area of Science:

  • Community Health
  • Pediatric Injury Prevention
  • Public Health Nursing

Background:

  • Over 214 hospitalizations for pediatric burns in children under five occurred over six years in one Long Island township.
  • A community coalition was formed by public health nurses and the National Safe Kids Campaign in response to high burn injury rates.
  • The initiative addressed the critical need for effective scald burn prevention strategies in a vulnerable pediatric population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement parent education on scald burn prevention.
  • To develop innovative interventions for children at risk of burns.
  • To create novel community-based approaches for scald prevention.

Main Methods:

  • Formation of the Cool Kids Coalition, expanding from 15 to 30 members with diverse backgrounds.

  • Partnership with non-traditional injury control agencies.
  • Implementation of educational programs in various community settings like Head Start centers, homeless shelters, and childcare centers, reaching over 3,000 parents.

    • Main Results:

    • Innovative programs were successfully implemented, reaching over 3,000 parents through community and home-based education.
    • Educational materials and strategies were integrated into member agencies' existing programs.
    • The coalition demonstrated significant community interest and engagement, doubling its size.

    Conclusions:

    • The Cool Kids Coalition effectively utilized nursing leadership to drive community health initiatives.
    • The program highlights the power of interdisciplinary collaboration in addressing pediatric injury prevention.
    • This model illustrates a successful community-driven approach to reducing scald burn incidents in young children.
