The study objectives are to describe the national health and safety standards in family child care homes (FCCHs) and child care centers and compare them by child care type.
Child care health consultants and research assistants completed the standardized Health and Safety Checklist, which comprised key national health and safety standards, in a convenience sample of 21 FCCHs and 31 child care centers enrolled in two larger studies conducted in CA.
The checklist was completed in 1 or 2 hours in FCCHs and centers, respectively. The internal consistency of the overall checklist subscales was moderate to strong. Eight of 10 checklist subscales were not significantly different in FCCHs and centers, but outdoor facilities (p < .05) and supervision, interaction, and physical activity (p < .05) were different.
The Health and Safety Checklist is valid in FCCHs and centers and identifies targeted interventions for nurses to improve child care quality.
本研究旨在描述家庭儿童保育中心(FCCH)和儿童保育中心的国家健康和安全标准,并按儿童保育类型进行比较。
在加利福尼亚州进行的两项大型研究中,儿童保健健康顾问和研究助理对便利抽样的 21 个 FCCH 和 31 个儿童保育中心进行了标准化健康和安全检查表的填写,该检查表包括主要的国家健康和安全标准。
在 FCCH 和中心,检查表分别在 1 或 2 小时内完成。整体检查表子量表的内部一致性为中等至强。10 个子量表中有 8 个在 FCCH 和中心之间没有显著差异,但户外设施(p <.05)和监督、互动和体育活动(p <.05)有所不同。
健康和安全检查表在 FCCH 和中心有效,并确定了护士为提高儿童保育质量而进行的有针对性的干预措施。
