Abstract Under-five children are highly vulnerable to unintentional home injuries due to their natural curiosity and developmental status. While nursing students play a major role in counseling caregivers during community postings, they face numerous challenges. This descriptive cross-sectional study assessed the attitude and perceived barriers of 126 B.Sc. Nursing students in selected Nursing colleges of North Goa District. Data were collected using a demographic performa, a 25-item Likert attitude scale, and a 15-item barriers checklist, and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS version 20.0. It was observed that 55.56% of the students held a favorable attitude, 33.33% had a moderate attitude, and 11.11% had an unfavorable attitude. Regarding barriers, 75.40% reported moderate barriers, 21.43% reported low barriers, and 3.17% reported high barriers. The top three highly severe barriers identified were a lack of time during busy clinics (62.70%, mean rank 1.68), low maternal literacy and understanding (57.94%, mean rank 1.91), and a lack of community awareness (50.00%, mean rank 2.06). Pearson Chi-square analysis showed no statistically significant association (p > 0.05) between attitude or barrier levels and demographic variables like year of study or previous training. These findings indicate that operational and structural constraints in clinical settings affect all students uniformly. This study highlights the immediate need to integrate practical communication training into the nursing curriculum and to provide standardized, local-language teaching materials to students to support their health promotion activities.
