The Utilization of MHealth for Assessing Child Safety Education Is A Necessity

Abstract

In the last 10 years, disasters have caused huge casualties that affected the welfare and safety of people and countries. More than 700 thousand people have lost their lives, more than 1.4 million injured and around 23 million have lost homes due to disaster. The impact of disasters on children is far greater than on adults. For this reason, the development of effective instruments is important to increase public awareness and education, especially user-friendly instruments that can be used to assess children's safety education. Instruments will increase an understanding on disaster risk and encourage all stakeholders to be actively involved in reducing multi-hazard risk, especially starts from the school. The method used in this research was a systematic review. The articles were obtained by searching through electronic databases available at EBSCO, PubMed, Science Direct, SAGE Journal, ProQuest and Emerald Insight, which were published in English, between January 2009 and January 2019. Only two of 114 articles met the inclusion criteria; by the research reviewed, there was no very specific research that used m-health to assess child safety education especially at school. Therefore, in the future, it is necessary to develop further research related this issue. Keywords— MHealth, safety-education, children.
