The objectives of the study were to assess the knowledge on the prevention of choking among caregivers of fewer than five children, to determine the level of knowledge regarding the management of choking among caregivers of fewer than five children and to identify the association between demographic variables and knowledge regarding the prevention and management of choking among caregivers of under-five children. A convenient sampling technique was used to select 30 samples from the population. The study tool consisted of a questionnaire with two sections: 1 and 2. Section 1 consists of 7 questions regarding demographic variables. Section 2 consists of 20 questions to assess the level of knowledge regarding the prevention and management of choking among the caregivers of children under five in selected Hospitals in Kottayam.

<p>Foreign body aspiration is when an object is inhaled and lodged in a child's lungs. It's natural for children to explore their environment by seeing, touching and tasting objects around them. Unfortunately, their tendency to put non-food objects in their mouth can be dangerous or even life-threatening. Children can also choke on foods given to them too early in their development before they have the molars and coordinated chewing motions to break them down safely. Our study objectives were To assess the level of knowledge regarding home manoeuvre in foreign body ingestion among mothers of under five years children in selected rural areas of Jammu and to find out the association between the level of knowledge regarding home manoeuvre in foreign body ingestion among mothers of under five years children with their selected socio-demographic variables. Validity of tool: The prepared tool, along with the objectives, was submitted to experts in the field of the nursing department. Suggestions from all the experts were received, and changes were made according to them, considering the practicability of the tool. Finally, the tool's components were reorganized, and validated tools were prepared to collect data from sample individuals. Reliability of Tool: The split-half approach determined the tool's dependability. The statistical analysis Karl Pearson coefficient was found to have an 'r' value of 0.75, which was positively correlated. Ethical Considerations: Written permission will be taken from the rural community of Jammu, written informed consent will be obtained from each study sample, and confidentiality of the study sample will be maintained. The research design adopted for the study was descriptive. A non-experimental approach was adopted for the present study. A non-probability convenient sampling technique was used to select 50 samples of mothers of children between 6 months and 2 years. The tool used for the survey was a self-administered knowledge questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistical results of the data analysis revealed that a maximum number of 37(74%) mothers of children under five had average knowledge, whereas 8(16%) mothers had poor knowledge, and 5(10%) mothers had good knowledge.</p>
