To analyze caregivers' knowledge about prevention of domestic accidents in early childhood and its association with education level.
This is a cross-sectional study conducted in a Primary Care Unit in Niterói with caregivers (convenience sample) of children under 6 years old. To classify the knowledge, we adopted the Positivity Index; to verify the association between the variable "schooling" and knowledge, the chi square test was used; statistically significant results: p < 0.05.
A total of 256 caregivers participated; 93.5% showed adequate knowledge. In the individual items, the knowledge (100%) about prevention of accidents with sharp toys, firearms, intoxication by products stood out; and less frequently (64.5%), the knowledge of the information contained in the Child's Health Booklet. There was no statistically significant association (p = 0.237) between education and knowledge. Conclusion: The caregivers presented knowledge about the prevention of domestic accidents, and this was not associated with the level of education.
分析照顾者对儿童期家庭事故预防的知识及其与教育水平的关系。
这是一项在尼泰罗伊的初级保健单位进行的横断面研究，对象为 6 岁以下儿童的照顾者（便利样本）。为了对知识进行分类，我们采用了阳性指数；为了验证“教育程度”与知识之间的关联，使用了卡方检验；有统计学意义的结果：p<0.05。
共有 256 名照顾者参与；93.5%的人表现出足够的知识。在各个项目中，对预防锐器、枪支、中毒产品引起的事故的知识（100%）表现突出；而对儿童保健手册中包含的信息的了解则较少（64.5%）。教育程度与知识之间无统计学显著关联（p=0.237）。结论：照顾者对家庭事故预防有一定的了解，但这与教育程度无关。
