AI Article Synopsis
- The study examined how caregivers perceive risks of household injuries for children under six in clinical settings.
- Most caregivers were aware of various safety measures for common injuries, but there was a significant gap in awareness regarding struck injuries.
- The findings suggest that pediatricians should enhance their guidance on preventing household injuries to better educate parents.
Article Abstract
Objective: To study parental perception of risk for household injury in children younger than six years in both continuity clinic and outpatient unit.
Material And Method: Sixty-six caregivers of children who attended continuity care clinic and outpatient unit were included in the present study. Data was obtained by questionnaire that contained questions regarding injury prevention awareness in four areas in the house. They were the food preparing area, bedroom, play area, and the area surrounding the house. Injuries are categorized as fire, burn, electrical shock, fall, struck injury, poisoning, drowning, strangulation, suffocation, and laceration wound. Frequency of parental awareness in each injury prevention is reported.
Results: Most of the participants have awareness of fire, burn, electrical shock, drowning, poisoning, laceration wound, strangulation, and suffocation prevention but only 25 to 38% of them have awareness in struck injury prevention.
Conclusion: Tailor-made anticipatory guidance about injury prevention especially household injury prevention should be a major role of pediatrician in addition to health supervision, immunization, and disease detection. Our study shows parents' perception of household injury prevention should be improved.

Background: Acute care hospitalization has been associated with older adult home falls after discharge, but less is known about the effects of hospital- and patient-related factors on home fall risk.
Objectives: This study compares the effects of hospital length of stay, medical condition, history of falls, and home health care on period rates of home falls after discharge from acute care hospitalization.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study comparing period rates of home injury falls among older adults (age ≥ 65) occurring after discharge from an acute care hospitalization.

Background: An individual's inability to self-identify or refusal to acknowledge an analgesic adverse drug event (ADE) lengthens the time to ADE treatment and resolution and may worsen the outcome.
Purpose: The purpose was to describe how people who experienced an analgesic ADE during pain self-management respond to the event and to identify predictors of serious analgesic ADEs.
Methodology: The design was a secondary data analysis.
