Abstract

Introduction: The environment poses an important risk in the causation of injuries in children. Simple measures in improving the safety of the domestic and peri-domestic environment can go a long way in preventing injuries. This study was conducted to assess the effect of training of the adolescents in the families, on the household environmental safety regarding childhood injuries.

Materials and methods: A pre- and post-intervention study was conducted over 16 months, on 116 families of two villages of Delhi. Data were collected regarding domestic and peri-domestic environments along with danger points with respect to injuries, of the enrolled houses, during the pre- and post-intervention phases of 4 months each. The intervention comprised training of the eldest adolescent of the family, on causes of common injuries and role of environment in injury causation. Scores were assigned to all relevant aspects, and the total environmental safety scores were calculated. The comparison was made between pre- and post-intervention scores of the two areas.

Results: Environmental safety scores were more than 70% in both areas at the baseline with no difference between the two areas. In the intervention area, there was statistically significant improvement of scores after the intervention, in the domestic environment and danger signs within the houses.

Conclusion: Training adolescents about the prevention of injuries and motivating them to remain vigilant over domestic environment are effective in bringing about significant change in the household environment with regard to safety from injuries in children. Repeated visits by health workers also increase awareness and change the household environment making it safer for children.

青少年培训对德里农村地区儿童伤害家庭环境安全的影响。
导言:环境是造成儿童伤害的一个重要风险因素。采取简单措施改善家庭及周边环境的安全,对预防伤害有很大帮助。本研究旨在评估对家庭中的青少年进行有关儿童伤害的家庭环境安全培训的效果:对德里两个村庄的 116 个家庭进行了为期 16 个月的干预前和干预后研究。在干预前和干预后各为期 4 个月的阶段中,收集了有关登记家庭的家庭和周边环境以及受伤危险点的数据。干预措施包括对家庭中最年长的青少年进行培训,使其了解常见伤害的原因以及环境在伤害致因中的作用。对所有相关方面进行评分,并计算出环境安全总分。对干预前后两个方面的得分进行比较:结果:两个地区的基线环境安全得分都超过了 70%,两个地区之间没有差异。在干预地区,干预后在家庭环境和房屋内危险标志方面的得分有明显提高:结论:对青少年进行预防伤害的培训,并激励他们对家庭环境保持警惕,能有效地使家庭环境在儿童伤害安全方面发生重大变化。卫生工作者的反复访问也会提高人们的认识,并改变家庭环境,使其对儿童更加安全。
