To evaluate the changes in prevalence of child-restraint correct use, level of parental information and parental driving behaviours in a population of North-Eastern Italy 2 years after a previous survey.
A mail survey of 514 families with children <12 years. We examined the prevalence of child restraint correct use, level of parental information, parental driving behaviours and the concordance between the responses to the current and previous survey. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors influencing correct restraint use.
Habitual restraint use was reported for 92.5% of children. The frequency of habitual use decreased with increasing child's age (p = 0.0143). Among children 3-7 years, correct restraint use was lower than in the previous survey (p = 0.0039). Increased child's age was associated with decreased likelihood of correct restraint use. Previous correct restraint use and parental information on child restraints, and current parental seat belt use were positively associated with correct use. In the last 2 years, only 17.5% of families have received information on transport safety. Most parents declared to comply with traffic regulations.
In our study area, the use of child restraints is common, although non-habitual use is reported, especially among older children. The information on transport safety is insufficient. Law enforcement and information campaigns could further enhance parental compliance with traffic regulations.
评估意大利东北部人群在之前一项调查两年后儿童约束装置正确使用的普及率、家长信息水平和家长驾驶行为的变化。
对514个有12岁以下儿童的家庭进行邮件调查。我们调查了儿童约束装置正确使用的普及率、家长信息水平、家长驾驶行为以及本次调查与上次调查回复之间的一致性。采用多变量逻辑回归来确定影响约束装置正确使用的因素。
报告称92.5%的儿童习惯使用约束装置。习惯使用的频率随着儿童年龄的增长而降低（p = 0.0143）。在3至7岁的儿童中，正确使用约束装置的比例低于上次调查（p = 0.0039）。儿童年龄的增加与正确使用约束装置的可能性降低相关。之前正确使用约束装置、家长对儿童约束装置的了解以及家长当前使用安全带与正确使用呈正相关。在过去两年中，只有17.5%的家庭收到过交通安全信息。大多数家长宣称遵守交通规则。
在我们的研究区域，儿童约束装置的使用很普遍，尽管存在非习惯使用的情况，尤其是在年龄较大的儿童中。交通安全信息不足。执法和宣传活动可以进一步提高家长对交通规则的遵守程度。
