Abstract:
Objective To investigate the current situation of animal injury among children in Chongqing, and to provide a scientific basis for relevant departments to formulate and implement strategies and measures to prevent and control animal injury to children. Methods According to the method of multi-stage stratified cluster sampling, 14,056 children in grades 4-12 in four districts of Chongqing were selected as the investigation subjects, and the occurrence of animal injuries in the past 6 months was investigated. Results The incidence of animal injury among school children in Chongqing was 0.35% and the incidence of person-time was 0.36%. The incidence rate in males (0.48%) was higher than that in females (0.31%). The incidence rate in urban children (0.43%) was higher than that in rural children (0.30%). The incidence of animal injury was the lowest in nuclear families (0.25%), and the highest in single-parent families (0.82%). There were statistically significant differences in the incidence of animal injuries in children among different fathers' occupational types, family types and parents' parenting styles (P<0.05). The main place of child animal injury was home (57.14%). Recreational activities were the main cause of animal injury (51.02%). The main injuries were lower limbs (42.86%), upper limbs (24.49%) and head (10.20%). Conclusion The prevention and control of children's animal injury in Chongqing should focus on boys and families. It is suggested to take targeted and comprehensive interventions to prevent animal injuries in children.
