Knowledge, attitudes and practices with regard to car safety were studied among 403 parturient women in Jerusalem. The mean knowledge score was 22 out of a total of 32. Attitudes towards seat belt use were positive. Regular use of the seat belt was reported by 36% of the women, but the intent to take the newborn in a car seat for the first ride (from the hospital) was reported by only 8% of the mothers. Knowledge of car safety and mother's seat belt use was significantly associated with the intent of car seat use for the newborn. Sociodemographic variables were not associated with the intent to use a car seat for the newborn. We conclude that laws for mandatory use of seat belts in cities and car restraints for children are needed, and we suggest integration of promotion programs within the existing health services.
在耶路撒冷的403名产妇中研究了她们关于汽车安全的知识、态度和行为。在满分32分的情况下，平均知识得分为22分。对使用安全带的态度是积极的。36%的女性报告称经常使用安全带，但只有8%的母亲表示打算在首次乘车（从医院回家）时让新生儿使用汽车座椅。汽车安全知识和母亲使用安全带的情况与让新生儿使用汽车座椅的意愿显著相关。社会人口统计学变量与让新生儿使用汽车座椅的意愿无关。我们得出结论，城市中需要制定强制使用安全带的法律以及儿童汽车约束装置，并且我们建议在现有卫生服务中整合推广项目。
