Abstract This cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the practice and self-efficacy of B.Sc. Nursing students in identifying under-five accident risks and counselling mothers during community postings in selected nursing colleges of North Goa District. A sample of 148 B.Sc. Nursing students were selected through purposive sampling.1 Data was collected using a structured demographic form, a 20-item Self-Efficacy Scale, and a 15-item Practice Scale.1 The findings revealed that 64.9% of the nursing students had high self-efficacy, while 35.1% had moderate self-efficacy. Regarding practice, 23.0% of the students demonstrated good practice, 65.5% had moderate practice, and 11.5% had poor practice. The mean self-efficacy score of the students was 146.33 with a standard deviation of 20.90, and the mean practice score was 26.45 with a standard deviation of 5.80. A strong, statistically significant positive correlation was observed between self-efficacy scores and practice scores (r = 0.701, p < 0.01). Year of study, number of mothers counselled, and formal training on accident counselling were significantly associated with both self-efficacy and practice levels (p < 0.01). Demographics like age, gender, monthly family income, posting area, and posting duration did not show any significant association (p > 0.05). It was concluded that structured educational training and hands-on practice during community postings are crucial to improve student nurses' clinical competency and confidence in preventing childhood home accidents.
