GABARI GAMBARTE, M Inés e SAENZ MENDIA, Raquel. Keys to preventing accidents in children in the school context. Gac Sanit [online]. 2018, vol.32, n.5, pp.405-410. Epub 07-Dez-2020. ISSN 0213-9111. https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.gaceta.2016.07.007.
Objective
To learn about children's perception of the causes and prevention strategies involved in school accidents.
Method
The sample included 584 school children aged 8-9 years from Navarra. A mixed design was chosen by questionnaire with three open-response questions and one multiple-choice assessment. Analysis was performed in two phases: 1) qualitative development of categories and dimensions of the responses of narrative content, and 2) quantitative variables for recoding correlational analysis.
Results
22 categories emerged, which make up three perceptual dimensions: 1) attribution of causality (5), 2) identification of mechanisms of avoidance (11), and 3) development of coping strategies (6). The correlation intra-variables portray varying degrees: on the one hand, moderate positive numbers (r>0.5) in allocating and identifying causality avoidance mechanisms and, on the other hand, high positive correlation values (r>0.7) referred to developing coping strategies.
Discussion
Children are able to identify accidents as a health problem. They question the multiplicity of elements involved and relate the origin and kind of accident to prevention and support mechanisms.
