PROBLEM
Two problems were addressed in this study. First, are daily injury diaries an effective means to gather information about children's unintentional injuries? Second, what are the circumstances of children's injuries as recorded through the diary method?
METHOD
Two studies were conducted with a total of 172 children to describe the ecology of children's daily unintentional injuries. Families completed a daily diary for 14 days, describing the circumstances surrounding the injuries children experienced each day.
RESULTS
Descriptive data is provided on the locations, causes, and types of injuries children incurred, as well as who was present when they were injured. Daily injury rate was modestly related to the number of major injuries children had incurred in their lifetimes.
DISCUSSION
The diary methodology was an effective means to study the ecology of children's daily injuries. Children's injuries occur in a wide range of circumstances that can be quantified through diary techniques.
IMPACT ON INDUSTRY
Data obtained from daily injury diaries may be useful in a variety of areas, including study of the etiology of childhood injury, design of interventions to prevent injury, and engineering of toys and playground equipment for children.
问题
本研究探讨了两个问题。其一，每日伤害日记是否是收集儿童意外伤害信息的有效手段？其二，通过日记法记录的儿童伤害情况是怎样的？
方法
开展了两项研究，共有172名儿童参与，以描述儿童日常意外伤害的生态环境。家庭连续14天填写每日日记，描述儿童每天受伤时的周围情况。
结果
提供了关于儿童受伤地点、原因、类型以及受伤时在场人员的描述性数据。每日伤害发生率与儿童一生中遭受的重伤数量有一定关联。
讨论
日记法是研究儿童日常伤害生态环境的有效手段。儿童伤害发生在各种情况下，可通过日记技术进行量化。
对行业的影响
从每日伤害日记中获得的数据可能在多个领域有用，包括儿童伤害病因学研究、预防伤害干预措施设计以及儿童玩具和游乐设备工程设计。
