Traffic accidents are one of the most important health problems that cause many deaths every year. Scientific-practical interventions are needed to prevent traffic accidents. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of traffic-based and school-based interventions on the safe road crossing in Yazd elementary school students.
This interventional study was conducted on 132 students (66 males and 66 females) in two groups of school-based and traffic park-based intervention. A questionnaire was used to determine the safe crossing behavior score. Then, an educational intervention was administered to both groups. Two months after the intervention, safe crossing behavior was evaluated in both groups. Finally, the data were analyzed using SPSS software version 22.
In both groups, the score of safe crossing behavior was significantly increased after the intervention. The school-based group had significantly better behaviors compared to the traffic park-based group (P=0.001). There was a significant difference in the mean score of behavior between males and females and the intervention had a greater effect on female students (P=0.017).
Educational interventions and especially school-based intervention can be effective in improving the students' safe crossing behaviors.
交通事故是每年导致众多死亡的最重要的健康问题之一。需要科学可行的干预措施来预防交通事故。本研究旨在比较基于交通和基于学校的干预措施对亚兹德小学生安全过马路的效果。
本干预性研究对132名学生（66名男性和66名女性）进行，分为基于学校的干预组和基于交通公园的干预组。使用问卷来确定安全过马路行为得分。然后，对两组都进行了教育干预。干预两个月后，对两组的安全过马路行为进行了评估。最后，使用SPSS 22版软件对数据进行分析。
两组在干预后安全过马路行为得分均显著提高。与基于交通公园的组相比，基于学校的组行为明显更好（P = 0.001）。男性和女性之间的行为平均得分存在显著差异，且干预对女学生的影响更大（P = 0.017）。
教育干预，尤其是基于学校的干预，在改善学生安全过马路行为方面可能是有效的。
