Abstract:
Objective:To explore the relationship between behavioral problems and accidental injuries among preschoolers, and to provide evidence for the targeted prevention of children s accidental injuries.
Methods:During September to October 2019, parent of 2 062 children aged 3 to 6 selected from 8 kindergartens in Hefei through stratified clustering method were investigated. The prevalence of accidental injuries and behavioral problems among preschoolers was collected by questionnaire survey.
Results:The prevalence of accidental injury during the past year was 14.55%(300), and behavioral problems 14.21%(293). Total rate of behavioral problems and rate of each dimensions in children with accidental injury were 32.67%, 2.33%, 19.67%, 15.00%, 2.00%, 1.00 % and 5.00%, compared to 11.07%, 0.45%, 6.41%, 4.88%, 0.40%, 0.17% and 0.79% in children without accidental injury ( χ 2=98.11, 12.54, 58.90, 44.12, 10.51, 6.08, 32.68, P <0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that psychosomatic problems( OR =3.13, 95% CI =2.11-4.66), learning problems( OR =2.73, 95% CI =1.86-3.99), abnormal hyperactivity index ( OR =3.16, 95% CI =1.40-7.14) and left behind children ( OR =1.53, 95% CI =1.13-2.07) were associated with higher risk of accidental injuries( P <0.05).
Conclusion:Behavioral problems are significantly associated with unintentional injuries among preschool children, which deserved further attention and intervention when formulating prevention and control measures for childhood accidental injury.
