First-aid practices after a domestic accident are not always known, especially in Africa. This study aimed to measure mothers' knowledge of emergency procedures and attitudes in the event of domestic accidents in children. We conducted a cross-sectional study in the Orodara health district, Kénédougou province, Burkina Faso, among mothers of children aged 0-14 years. The dependent variable was the mothers' knowledge of domestic accident first-aid practices, and the independent variables were the sociodemographic characteristics of the households and the mothers. Determinants were identified using linear regression with a threshold of 5%. A total of 798 mothers were surveyed. The mean knowledge score was 6.9 (standard deviation = 1.5) out of 19. Upon our multivariate analysis, the factors associated with the mothers' knowledge about first-aid practices were the mothers' age, the number of children under 14 years old living in the same household, the household size, the score for knowledge of non-recommended attitudes, the mothers' level of education, and the place of residence. This study showed that awareness campaigns, especially in rural areas, seem important in improving mothers' knowledge of first-aid practices in domestic accidents and, therefore, reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with domestic accidents.
在非洲，家庭事故发生后的急救措施并不总是为人所知。本研究旨在衡量母亲们在儿童遭遇家庭事故时的紧急程序知识和态度。我们在布基纳法索的肯尼杜古省奥罗达拉卫生区进行了一项横断面研究，对象为 0-14 岁儿童的母亲。因变量是母亲对家庭事故急救措施的知识，自变量是家庭和母亲的社会人口特征。使用具有 5%阈值的线性回归确定决定因素。共调查了 798 位母亲。19 项中，母亲的平均知识得分为 6.9（标准差=1.5）。在我们的多变量分析中，与母亲急救知识相关的因素包括母亲的年龄、同一家庭中 14 岁以下儿童的数量、家庭规模、不推荐态度的知识得分、母亲的教育水平和居住地。本研究表明，宣传活动，特别是在农村地区，似乎对提高母亲对家庭事故急救措施的认识很重要，从而降低与家庭事故相关的发病率和死亡率。
