Discuss peer education's effects on averting accidental injuries among middle school students.
Randomly select 48 classes from 4 middle schools in Jiujiang city on March, 2006. Take 24 classes, total 1236 students as the experimental group (peer education group), the other 24 classes, 1320 students as the control group by usingsimple random sampling. The experimental groups adopt peer education, the control groups don't apply any intervention. Questionnaire is used to carry out field survey before and after intervention, questionnaire contents include general demography characteristics, knowledge and attitude about accidental injury, incidence rate of various injuries and precaution methods and so on.
Correct rate of accidental injury knowledge questions increases greatly in experimental group ( > 70% for each question) after peer education, correct rate of six questions in control groups is under 60.0%. Injury rate decreases from 51.92% to 28.61% after peer education. Before peer education injury causes are mainly sport (39.8%) and car (29.2%) accident. Injuries due to sport and fighting diminish remarkably after peer educations. Accident location also changes, before intervening, injury mainly happens in school (52.2%), after peer education home injury ranks the first.
Peer education plays a important role on preventing accidental injuries in the middle school students.
探讨同伴教育对预防中学生意外伤害的效果。
2006年3月在九江市4所中学随机抽取48个班级。采用单纯随机抽样的方法,将24个班级、共1236名学生作为实验组(同伴教育组),另外24个班级、1320名学生作为对照组。实验组采用同伴教育,对照组不进行任何干预。干预前后采用问卷调查进行现场调查,问卷内容包括一般人口学特征、意外伤害知识和态度、各类伤害发生率及预防方法等。
同伴教育后实验组意外伤害知识问题正确率大幅提高(每题正确率>70%),对照组6个问题的正确率低于60.0%。同伴教育后伤害发生率从51.92%降至28.61%。同伴教育前伤害原因主要是运动(39.8%)和车祸(29.2%)。同伴教育后因运动和打架导致的伤害明显减少。事故发生地点也发生了变化,干预前伤害主要发生在学校(52.2%),同伴教育后家庭伤害位居首位。
同伴教育在预防中学生意外伤害方面发挥着重要作用。
