Most common injuries in childhood in home evironment

Teoretična izhodišča: Otroci so večkrat žrtev poškodb v domačem okolju. Žrtev poškodb, katere bi se dalo preprečiti, ali z varovali, ki preprečujejo dostop do nevarnega predmeta ali prostora, ali morebiti z odstranitvijo nevarnosti iz prostora, domačega okolja. Na trgu obstaja veliko varoval za domače okolje, kot na primer: varovala za vtičnice, za štedilnik, za robove na pohištvu, in podobno. Najboljše varovalo pa je seveda pazljivost, navzočnost starša, ko otrok spoznava in se uči o novih stvareh. Metodologija raziskovanja: Uporabljena je bila deskriptivna in kvantitativna metodologija. Podatke smo pridobili z uporabo anketnega vprašalnika zaprtega tipa in jih analizirali s pomočjo programa Microsoft Excel 2016 in Microsoft Word 2016. Raziskavo smo naredili v pomurski regiji, med starši, ki niso mlajši od 18 let in imajo otroke stare več ko eno leto. Rezultati: Čez raziskavo smo ugotovili, da starši relativno dobro poznajo nevarnosti za otroka v domačem okolju in so seznanjeni z načini preprečevanja poškodb otrok, ampak se še vseeno poškoduje 60 % otrok. Ugotovili smo tudi, da se z višjo izobrazbo ne znižuje tveganje za poškodbo otroka. Starši po večini redno uporabljajo varovala v stanovanju, le 18 % jih nikoli ne uporablja. Sklep: Otroci so podvrženi velikemu tveganju za poškodbe v domačem okolju. Poškodbe po večini niso življenjsko ogrožajoče in so posledica kratke nepazljivosti in nenavzočnosti staršev. Podatki iz raziskave kažejo, da je največ poškodb med 3-5 letom starosti, saj takrat otrok največ, samostojno, raziskuje in spoznava. Torej je pomembno v tem obdobju biti ob otroku in mu zagotoviti varen vstop v svet samostojnosti.Teoretical background: Children are most commonly injured in home environment. They are victims of injuries which can be prevented by using safety equipment to restrict access to dangerous places or hazards or by eliminating risk factor from the home environment. On the market there are many options for creating safe home environment for kids. For example: safety socket, safety for stove, for edges on furniture and so on. But no matter what, the best method is still presence and carefulness of parents. Research methodology: Descriptive and quantitative methodology was used in our research. We obtained data using a close-type questionnaire and analyzed them using Microsoft Excel 2016 and Microsoft Word 2016. The research was done in Pomurje region, between parents who are not younger than 18 years old and have kids older than 1 year. Results: Through the research we have found out that parents are relatively good in knowing the risks, that a child can be exposed to and they are also aware of how to prevent injuries in children. But still 60 % of children got themselves injured. We have found that greater education does not affect the reduction of the prevalence of injuries. Parents regularly use safety equipment in home environment and only 18 % have never used them. Conclusion: Children are at high risk of injury in home environment. Injuries are generally not life-threatening and are the result of the short negligence and lack of presence of the parents. The data from the research show that the majority of injuries occur between 3-5 years of age, since the child is the most, independently, investigating and learning. Therefore, it is important that during this life period, children have greater parental guidance, so they can learn how to enter into the world of independence safety
