Abstrakt Injury prevention is selected EU countries. The subject of my diploma work is focused on injury prevention in selected EU countries. Injuries do not present only serious health problem but also socio-economic problem. Traffic injuries in OECD countries contribute in overage 41 % to all deaths of children up to 14 years of age as a consequence of injury. The objective of my work is to describe approach of selected EU countries to injury prevention and map preventive measures in injury prevention in selected countries, including Czech Republic, Slovakia, Sweden, Italy, Germany and France. Prevention is targeted activity based on cognition that injury prevention is always simpler than dealing with irreversible consequences. Work objectives have been identified by work quantitative research methodology. I have been focused on government documents, legislative regulations as well as other documents dealing with injury prevention. Materials which were subject to secondary analysis were received from several main resources, including governmental, state and non-state institutions of selected EU countries. Due to inaccessibility of some documents or unsuitable or unfound resources, I have used complementary questioning method. I have addressed respondents living and working in selected EU countries. The issue of child injury prevention is on preference positions in political programs, takes place on all levels, including state, regional and local levels. States adopt national injury prevention action plans; approve legislative measures, such as speed in municipalities, use of cycling helmets by children, use of retaining systems. School and out-of-school traffic education is organized in all of the selected EU countries. It should begin already at pre-school age. Parents play significant role as well as state and non state institutions. The most complex program in the selected EU countries is called "Safe Communities". In all of the selected EU countries there are also other organisations which participate in preventive programs, events, trainings and campaigns. In addition other local authorities, administration bodies, organisations and communities of interest and individuals can be invited to cooperate and all these activities can be coordinated and interconnected. The issue of injury prevention must be dealt with continuously. Coordinated and consistent prevention of child injuries has positive impact on reduction of child injury rate and death rate. Result of the work will contribute to better foreknowledge, education and comparison. In addition its will be used for learning purposes by ZSF JU.
