The objectives of this study were to verify which circumstances are present in burn accidents of patients under 12 years of age and to gather information to ground strategies to prevent those accidents. Parents or guardians of 26 patients aged under 12 years, admitted to the burns unit of the Clinical Hospital of Ribeirão Preto Medical School, Brazil, were interviewed, from March 1996 to March 1997. Fifty percent of the injured children were under 3 years of age and had suffered a scald. The kitchen and the backyard were identified as the places where the majority of accidents (84.6%) happened. At least one parent was present in 80.7% of cases. The results speak for the necessity of implementation of programs to prevent burn accidents, focusing on the domestic setting, chiefly activities in the kitchen.
本研究的目的是核实12岁以下患者烧伤事故中存在哪些情况，并收集信息为预防这些事故的策略提供依据。1996年3月至1997年3月期间，对巴西里贝朗普雷图医学院临床医院烧伤科收治的26名12岁以下患者的父母或监护人进行了访谈。50%的受伤儿童年龄在3岁以下，且遭受了烫伤。厨房和后院被确定为大多数事故（84.6%）发生的地点。80.7%的案例中至少有一位家长在场。结果表明有必要实施预防烧伤事故的项目，重点放在家庭环境，主要是厨房中的活动。
