Abstract

OBJECTIVE

Road traffic injuries are the major and neglected public health challenges. It causes 1.2 million deaths and 50 million injuries yearly and the use of seat belt reduces 60% of the cases. However, little is known about the magnitude of utilizing seat belt and associated factors in Ethiopia. Hence, the aim of this study was to assess the seat belt practice and associated factors among minibus and taxi drivers.

RESULTS

The magnitude of seat belt users is 69.6%. The majority (98.1%) of drivers used seat belt to minimize injuries, 95.8% to prevent casualties, 92.5% to safeguard vehicle occupants, 29.9% to generate revenue for government and 22.8% to beautify the vehicle. Almost 80% of participants reported that wearing seat belt could save lives; and 29.6% of them wear belts because of stiffer penalties. For not using seat belts, more than 18% drivers reasoned out that it is not guarantee for safety and it wastes time to wear. In the multiple logistic regression being taxi driver (AOR = 1.998, 95% CI 1.250, 3.192), being married (AOR = 2.91, 95% CI 1.118, 7.601) and attended vocational school and above (AOR = 2.140, 95% CI 1.014, 4.519) were associated with seat belt use.

摘要

目的

道路交通伤害是主要且被忽视的公共卫生挑战。其每年导致120万人死亡和5000万人受伤，而使用安全带可减少60%的此类情况。然而，在埃塞俄比亚，人们对安全带的使用程度及相关因素知之甚少。因此，本研究的目的是评估小型巴士和出租车司机的安全带使用情况及相关因素。

结果

安全带使用者的比例为69.6%。大多数（98.1%）司机使用安全带是为了将伤害降至最低，95.8%是为了预防伤亡，92.5%是为了保护车内乘客，29.9%是为了为政府创收，22.8%是为了美化车辆。近80%的参与者表示系安全带可以挽救生命；其中29.6%的人系安全带是因为处罚更严厉。对于不使用安全带的情况，超过18%的司机认为这不能保证安全且系安全带浪费时间。在多元逻辑回归分析中，作为出租车司机（比值比[AOR]=1.998，95%置信区间[CI]为1.250, 3.192）、已婚（AOR=2.91，95% CI为1.118, 7.601）以及上过职业学校及以上（AOR=2.140，95% CI为1.014, 4.519）与安全带使用相关。
