Injuries in or around the home are the most important cause of death among children aged 0-4 years old. It is also a major source of morbidity and loss of quality of life. In order to reduce the number of injuries, the Consumer Safety Institute introduced the use of Safety Information Leaflets in the Netherlands to provide safety education to parents of children aged 0-4 years. Despite current safety education, necessary safety behaviours are still not taken by a large number of parents, causing unnecessary risk of injury among young children. In an earlier study an E-health module with internet-based, tailored safety information was developed and applied. It concerns an advice for parents on safety behaviours in their homes regarding their child. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of this safety information combined with personal counselling on parents' child safety behaviours.
METHODS/DESIGN: Parents who are eligible for the regular well-child visit with their child at child age 5-8 months are invited to participate in this study. Participating parents are randomized into one of two groups: 1) internet-based, tailored safety information combined with personal counselling (intervention group), or 2) personal counselling using the Safety Information Leaflets of the Consumer Safety Institute in the Netherlands for children aged 12 to 24 months (control group). All parents receive safety information on safety topics regarding the prevention of falling, poisoning, drowning and burning. Parents of the intervention group will access the internet-based, tailored safety information module when their child is approximately 10 months old. After completion of the assessment questions, the program compiles a tailored safety advice. The parents are asked to devise and inscribe a personal implementation intention. During the next well-child visit, the Child Health Clinic professional will discuss this tailored safety information and the implementation intention with the parents. The control group will receive usual care, i.e. the provision of Safety Information Leaflets during their well-child visit at the child's age of 11 months.
It is hypothesized that the intervention, internet-based, tailored safety information combined with personal counselling results in more parents' child safety behaviours.

0-4 岁儿童中,家中或周围发生的伤害是导致其死亡的最重要原因。它也是发病率和生活质量下降的主要原因。为了减少伤害数量,消费者安全协会在荷兰引入了安全信息传单,为 0-4 岁儿童的家长提供安全教育。尽管目前已经开展了安全教育,但仍有大量家长没有采取必要的安全行为,导致幼儿受到不必要的伤害风险。在早期的一项研究中,开发并应用了一种基于互联网的、定制化的电子健康模块,提供有关家庭中儿童安全行为的建议。这是为家长提供的关于家中儿童安全行为的建议。本研究的目的是评估将这种安全信息与个人咨询相结合对父母儿童安全行为的影响。
方法/设计:邀请符合条件的儿童在 5-8 个月大时定期接受儿童健康检查的父母参加这项研究。参与的父母被随机分为两组:1)基于互联网的、定制化的安全信息与个人咨询相结合(干预组),或 2)使用荷兰消费者安全协会为 12-24 个月儿童提供的安全信息传单的个人咨询(对照组)。所有父母都会收到有关预防跌倒、中毒、溺水和烧伤等安全主题的安全信息。干预组的父母将在孩子大约 10 个月大时访问基于互联网的、定制化的安全信息模块。在完成评估问题后,程序会编制一份定制的安全建议。父母被要求制定并记录个人实施意向。在下一次儿童健康检查时,儿童保健诊所的专业人员将与父母讨论这份定制的安全信息和实施意向。对照组将在孩子 11 个月大时的儿童健康检查时获得常规护理,即提供安全信息传单。
假设干预措施,即基于互联网的、定制化的安全信息与个人咨询相结合,会导致更多的父母采取儿童安全行为。
