Özet: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of school-based education programs to prevent injuries and to determine the effects of students on security measures, self-protection skills, behaviors and knowledge. In this systematic review; “The researchers conducted between 2000-2019, which can be accessed from 5 databases such as Pubmed, Wiley Interscience, Sciencedirect, Cochrane Library and EBSCOhost, were examined. “School-based injury prevention programs", “Preventing injuries in children and adolescents”, “Unintentional injuries in children and adolescents” and “School injuries” were used in the study in Turkish and English. Of the studies included in the systematic review, 5 were randomized controlled experimental designs and 2 were semi-experimental research designs. Training programs, peer teaching, multiple training sessions, various approaches (eg, providing safety equipment, sending letters to parents about safety, assigning homework on safety to students, and adding safety issues to the curriculum). According to the results of the research, although school based education programs were conducted in different cultures and education systems, it was found to be effective in preventing injuries. The areas where the studies are effective are traffic, sports, fire and pedestrian safety. Although the studies reviewed in this systematic review guide us to prevent injuries, higher quality studies are needed to evaluate the impact of school-based injury prevention programs on injury cases.
