Research Abstract

The objectives of the present study are to 1)clarify the current incidence of infant accidents and the state of safety measures for accident prevention used in the home, and 2)to evaluate the efficacy of intervention programs promoting preventive activities for infant accidents employed at public health centers during infant health screenings.
The present study is based on the concept that infants at different developmental stages are susceptible to different types of accidents.
Methods : Families with infants, from three communities in one prefecture, were divided into intervention and control groups. A pre- and post-intervention survey was conducted. In the intervention group, a pamphlet on accident prevention was distributed, safety devices were presented, and an accident prevention video was shown. Before and after intervention, participants completed a mail-delivered questionnaire that ascertained 1) the use of safety measures, 2) the incidence of accidents, and 3) childrearing stress and child and family factors.
Results : The results of the survey before the intervention were as follows :
1)Accidents occur most frequently among children aged 8-12 months, followed by those aged 2-3 years, 4-6 years, and 2-7 months, respectively.
2)The most common type of accident was falling, with differences observed among age groups.
3)Safety measures were most often used by families of children aged 2-7 months, and were least often used for children aged 8 months to 3 years.
4)While the use of safety measures did not reduce the overall incidence of accidents, safety measures for accidents involving cuts resulted in fewer cuts for children.
5)Accidents were found to be correlated with the gender of the child, birth order, the number of caretakers, and childrearing stress.
Another survey, conducted one year after intervention, indicated no significant difference in the incidence of accidents or the rate of safety measure use between the intervention and control groups.
