Abstract

Objective: To describe the occurrence of domestic accidents due to children's falls.

Method: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study carried out with 181 parents and/or other caregivers of children aged between 2 and 5 years. Data were collected in March and April 2024, through a questionnaire containing 23 items, which were subjected to descriptive analysis.

Results: The sample was composed mostly of mothers (93.9%), with a predominance of female children (52.2%), and 86.2% of infants suffered some type of fall at home. Falls from bed (56.4%), hitting the head/face (52.6%), mainly causing cuts/lacerations (16%), were predominant.

Conclusion: The results show that it is essential to raise awareness among families about the imminent responsibility of protecting children from domestic accidents, protecting them from injuries that can be avoided through changes in behavior and adopting a proactive stance by intervening in anticipation of risk factors.

儿童跌倒导致的家庭事故：一项横断面研究。

目的描述因儿童跌倒而导致的家庭事故的发生情况：这是一项描述性横断面研究，调查对象为 181 名 2 至 5 岁儿童的父母和/或其他看护人。数据收集于 2024 年 3 月和 4 月，通过包含 23 个项目的调查问卷进行描述性分析：样本主要由母亲组成（93.9%），其中女性儿童占多数（52.2%），86.2%的婴儿在家中发生过某种类型的跌倒。从床上跌落（56.4%）、撞击头部/面部（52.6%），主要造成割伤/撕裂伤（16%）是主要原因：研究结果表明，必须提高家庭对保护儿童免受家庭意外伤害的紧迫责任的认识，保护他们免受可以通过改变行为方式避免的伤害，并采取积极主动的态度，对风险因素进行预测和干预。
