There is inconsistency across child development and care literature in operationalizing serious play-related injury and also a lack of understanding of how mothers and fathers conceptualize serious play-related injury. The current study explores parents' perspectives of their 2- to 7-year-old children's serious play-related injuries in urban and rural areas of British Columbia and Québec, Canada, and provides an urban/rural and gender analysis of the results.
We conducted semistructured interviews with 41 mothers and 63 fathers from 57 families, a total of 104 participants, in urban and rural locations in British Columbia and Québec, Canada. We used a social constructionist approach to the research and reflexive thematic analysis to construct themes from participant responses and to inform the consequent categorizations of serious play-related injury.
The results indicate four categories of parents' conceptualizations of serious play-related injury: (a) injury requiring medical intervention, (b) injury resulting in head trauma, (c) injury resulting in debilitation, and (d) broken bones.
Child development and care advocates can use these categories to strengthen their communications with parents and to improve understanding of parents' conceptualizations of children's serious play-related injury.
在儿童发展和护理文献中，严重游戏相关伤害的操作不一致，也缺乏对父母如何概念化严重游戏相关伤害的理解。本研究探讨了父母对其 2 至 7 岁儿童在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省和魁北克城乡地区严重游戏相关伤害的看法，并对结果进行了城乡和性别分析。
我们对来自加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省和魁北克城乡地区的 57 个家庭中的 41 名母亲和 63 名父亲进行了半结构化访谈，共有 104 名参与者。我们采用社会建构主义的研究方法和反思性主题分析，从参与者的反应中构建主题，并为随后对严重游戏相关伤害的分类提供信息。
结果表明，父母对严重游戏相关伤害的概念化有以下四个类别：（a）需要医疗干预的伤害，（b）导致头部创伤的伤害，（c）导致衰弱的伤害，（d）骨折。
儿童发展和护理倡导者可以使用这些类别来加强他们与父母的沟通，并更好地理解父母对儿童严重游戏相关伤害的概念化。
