It is important to educate caregivers in order to prevent infant injuries. However, there have been few studies on the effects of education on pregnant women. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of injury prevention group education on this group. Study participants were recruited from a group of pregnant mothers attending an antenatal class in Tokyo. Participants were assigned to either the intervention or control group based on the month in which they attended the existing antenatal class. Both groups received a leaflet on injury prevention, but only the intervention group received an additional short one-shot lecture. The implementation of each of the nine safety practices was assessed during home visits after childbirth. Of the 131 study participants (56 in the control group and 75 in the intervention group), 106 (80.9%) received home visits after birth. Mothers in the intervention group implemented three practices significantly more than those in the control group: Keep soft objects away from the baby's head (38.3% vs. 13.0%), Do not place your baby on a high surface (74.6% vs. 52.2%), and Use the baby carrier correctly (93.3% vs. 76.1%). In the future, we plan to follow up the participants to evaluate the program's long-term effects, and to continue to improve the program.
对照顾者进行教育以预防婴儿受伤非常重要。然而,针对孕妇教育效果的研究较少。本研究旨在评估对该人群进行伤害预防小组教育的效果。研究参与者从参加东京产前班的一组孕妇中招募。根据他们参加现有产前班的月份,将参与者分为干预组或对照组。两组均收到了一份关于预防伤害的传单,但只有干预组额外接受了一次简短的一次性讲座。在产后家访中评估了九项安全措施中的每一项的实施情况。在 131 名研究参与者(对照组 56 名,干预组 75 名)中,有 106 名(80.9%)在产后接受了家访。与对照组相比,干预组的母亲实施了三项实践显著更多:将软物品远离婴儿头部(38.3%比 13.0%),不要将婴儿放在高处(74.6%比 52.2%),并正确使用婴儿背带(93.3%比 76.1%)。未来,我们计划对参与者进行随访,以评估该计划的长期效果,并继续改进该计划。
