Motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children, yet belt-positioning booster seats remain underutilized. This study analyzed the impact of a provider-oriented child passenger safety (CPS) educational intervention on pediatric resident confidence, knowledge, and counseling behavior in the primary care setting.
Pre- and post-educational intervention cross- sectional surveys were distributed to pediatric residents focusing on confidence, knowledge, barriers to, and frequency of CPS discussions.
Pre-intervention, only 16% (95% CI: 6.2-32%) of respondents reported confidence in their knowledge of the American Academy of Pediatrics' (AAP) booster seat recommendations. Post-intervention frequency of CPS discussion, confidence and knowledge in all measured aspects increased.
While pediatric residents are well positioned for CPS counseling, they lack adequate baseline knowledge of CPS recommendations, particularly for booster seats. Brief educational interventions can increase and maintain provider knowledge and confidence in counseling families on appropriate child car safety seats.
机动车事故（MVC）是导致儿童发病率和死亡率的主要原因，然而，安全带定位增高座椅的使用率仍然很低。本研究分析了以提供者为导向的儿童乘客安全（CPS）教育干预对初级保健环境中儿科住院医师信心、知识和咨询行为的影响。
在教育干预前后，向儿科住院医师分发了关于信心、知识、CPS 讨论障碍和频率的横断面调查。
在干预前，只有 16%（95%CI：6.2-32%）的受访者表示对美国儿科学会（AAP）增高座椅建议的知识有信心。干预后，CPS 讨论的频率、信心和所有方面的知识都有所增加。
虽然儿科住院医师在 CPS 咨询方面处于有利地位，但他们对 CPS 建议的基本知识不足，特别是对增高座椅。简短的教育干预可以增加和维持提供者在为家庭提供适当儿童汽车安全座椅方面的知识和信心。
