Injuries continue to be a significant health problem in children. Injuries put more children in hospital than any other single cause. Injuries to children are due to falls, burns, poisoning, crushing, suffocation, traffic incidents and other causes both intentional and unintentional. Preschool children most commonly experience injuries in the home where they spend most of their time. The Western Cape Department of Health has decided to focus on the prevention of unintentional injuries to preschool children in and around the home. It is necessary to first determine the risk factors to these injuries before embarking on safety promotion and injury prevention programmes. To date there have been no studies documented in South Africa looking at the perceptions of the risk factors associated with household unintentional childhood injuries of first time mothers. This study therefore attempted to explore the perceptions of risk factors of first time mothers in Delft. Delft was chosen because it is a low-income area (which is recognised as being a risk factor to unintentional childhood injuries) and it is one of the pilot sites for the injury prevention programme of the Western Cape Department of Health.

Esta pesquisa investiga o envolvimento de professores com o tema acidente infantil, elabora, aplica e avalia atividade de formação para professores para a inserção curricular do tema acidente infantil. Participam duas professoras (P1 e P2) do quarto ano da rede municipal de Ensino Fundamental da cidade de Marília (SP), de duas escolas diferentes. Utilizam-se impressos pré-elaborados e equipamentos.

A atividade de formação é elaborada a partir do estudo do envolvimento das professoras e da literatura com o objetivo de que as professoras elaborem ações, descrevendo-as no semanário ou em outro material adequado, relacionadas diretamente à prevenção dos acidentes infantis, com enfoque teórico, para serem realizadas com seus alunos em sala de aula. A aplicação é realizada na própria escola e em horário de trabalho. A avaliação da atividade de formação é realizada por meio da observação da aula da professora que aborda a prevenção dos acidentes, nova entrevista e análise do semanário.

This study investigates the involvement of teachers with the subject of child injury, develops, implements and evaluates activities to educate teachers to a curricular implementation of child injury subject. Two fourth grade teachers of two different municipal elementary schools of the city of Marilia (SP) (P1 and P2) participated in the survey. It was used pre-designed forms and equipments. The involvement of teachers was investigated through interviews, analysis of their dairies and observation of their classes. The training activity was drawn based on the study of the involvement of teachers and in the literature. It has the objective of having the teachers preparing actions directly related to the prevention of child injuries, with a theoretic approach, to be conducted with students in the classroom, describing them in the dairy or other suitable material. The application is performed in the school and within the work schedule. The evaluation of the training activities is performed by observing the teacher's classes that address the prevention of accidents, new interviews and analysis of their dairies. As a result, it was found that teachers have information on the subject involving first aid, and it is considered insufficient. This theme is not frequent and it has an indirect approach. Educational activities were developed including an Instruction Sheet and a Study Book, divided into seven sheets with short texts and news. At the end of each sheet there is a Study Guide and an Opinion Survey. During the implementation... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
