Children exhibit a range of individual characteristics, such as age, cognitive development, emotional maturity, and prior experiences, that significantly influence how they understand and respond to wound care. These differences shape both their knowledge of appropriate first-aid practices and their attitudes toward managing injuries, leading to varied approaches in caring for wounds when they occur.

There was a significant difference between the pre- and post-intervention knowledge scores, indicating that the intervention successfully improved respondents' knowledge (p=0.0001).
