To assess parental awareness regarding common childhood injuries and to focus on preventive issues.
Two hundred parents of children each grouped into 2 attending OPD of government hospital and private clinic respectively were enrolled, interviewed and responses analyzed.
The commonest potential mode of injuries identified in both groups was falls (53% vs 84%). None of the households in group 1 and less than 2/3rd in group 2 had provision of restraints at stairs. Awareness was found to be greater in the group with higher educational background and socioeconomic status.
Awareness regarding common childhood injuries and their prevention was lacking. There was a felt need that the pediatricians must counsel the parents on this aspect during visits. Since the sample size is small, a larger community based study is needed.
评估家长对常见儿童伤害的认知，并关注预防问题。
分别纳入200名儿童的家长，他们被分为两组，分别在政府医院和私立诊所的门诊就诊，对其进行访谈并分析回答内容。
两组中最常见的潜在伤害方式均为跌倒（分别为53%和84%）。第一组中没有家庭在楼梯处设置防护装置，第二组中不到三分之二的家庭有。发现教育背景和社会经济地位较高的组认知度更高。
缺乏对常见儿童伤害及其预防的认知。感觉有必要让儿科医生在就诊时就这方面向家长提供咨询。由于样本量小，需要进行更大规模的基于社区的研究。
