The purpose of this article is to communicate ways in which the nurse practitioner (NP) working with the pediatric population can incorporate bicycle helmet use education into the primary care setting.
Review of literature on bicycle helmets, safety, and head injury, retrieved from scientific journals and reliable Internet sources.
Bicycling has become a popular sport for both children and adults. Despite excellent benefits, bicycling can pose hazards to riders when safety measures are not practiced. Head injury has been cited as the leading cause of death in bicycle-related injuries. The simplest and single most effective device available to reduce head injury and death is the bicycle helmet.
NPs working with the pediatric population can have a profound impact on safety and health through promoting bicycle helmet use to both the child and accompanying parent during children's primary care visits. NPs can also become involved beyond the institution and act as role models for children, form coalitions, and serve as community advocates for new or stronger helmet legislation and enforcement of bicycle helmet laws.
本文旨在介绍执业护士在为儿科人群提供初级护理时，将自行车头盔使用教育融入其中的方法。
从科学期刊和可靠的网络资源中检索有关自行车头盔、安全和头部损伤的文献综述。
骑自行车已成为儿童和成人都喜爱的一项运动。尽管益处多多，但如果不采取安全措施，骑自行车可能会给骑行者带来危险。头部受伤被认为是与自行车相关伤害中导致死亡的主要原因。减少头部受伤和死亡的最简单且最有效的单一设备就是自行车头盔。
为儿科人群提供护理的执业护士可以通过在儿童初级护理就诊期间向儿童及其陪同家长宣传自行车头盔的使用，对安全与健康产生深远影响。执业护士还可以走出机构，成为儿童的榜样，组建联盟，并作为社区倡导者，推动新的或更严格的头盔立法以及自行车头盔法律的执行。
