To identify predictors of the adoption of safety measures by mothers of 2 year old children.
26 municipalities in the county of Sogn and Fjordane, and four municipalities in the county of Møre and Romsdal in Norway.
Data was collected by questionnaires mailed to all mothers of 2 year olds in the 30 municipalities (response rate 70.7%, n = 1233). Information was obtained on socioeconomic variables, the child's injury history, adoption of safety measures, and variables describing mother's health related beliefs (parent health locus of control) and the value of health (health value).
Income, municipality of residence, age of the mother, and marital status were significantly associated with the reported adoption of safety measures. High income and older, married mothers were positively associated with the adoption of safety measures.
The significant effect of income on the adoption of safety measures, underlined by the fact that safety measures were less often adopted by young single mothers, may indicate that the implementation of structural measures such as loan schemes and subsidies, are necessary to increase the adoption of child safety measures. The lack of association between education and social cognitive beliefs, respectively, and the adoption of safety measures, offer less optimism for traditional health education initiatives.
确定两岁儿童母亲采取安全措施的预测因素。
挪威松恩-菲尤拉讷郡的26个自治市，以及默勒-鲁姆斯达尔郡的4个自治市。
通过向30个自治市所有两岁儿童的母亲邮寄问卷来收集数据（回复率70.7%，n = 1233）。获取了社会经济变量、儿童的受伤史、安全措施的采取情况，以及描述母亲健康相关信念（父母健康控制点）和健康价值观的变量信息。
收入、居住的自治市、母亲年龄和婚姻状况与报告的安全措施采取情况显著相关。高收入以及年龄较大的已婚母亲与安全措施的采取呈正相关。
收入对安全措施采取情况有显著影响，年轻单身母亲较少采取安全措施这一事实凸显了这一点，这可能表明实施诸如贷款计划和补贴等结构性措施对于增加儿童安全措施的采取是必要的。教育和社会认知信念与安全措施的采取之间缺乏关联，这对传统健康教育举措的效果不太乐观。
