BACKGROUND Nearly half of the unintentional injuries in children happen in and around the home; many of these injuries are preventable. Providing parents and caregivers with proper injury prevention information that is easily accessible may help them make their homes safer for children. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate parental injury prevention awareness and home safety behaviors, motivations for and challenges to taking injury prevention and safety actions for parents as well as user experience following the use of the Make Safe Happen mobile app. METHODS A total of 40 parents with children aged 0-12 years living in Columbus, Ohio, participated in 1 of 5 focus group discussions following the completion of (1) a pretest survey, (2) use of the Make Safe Happen app, and (3) a posttest survey. RESULTS Following the use of the Make Safe Happen app, parents reported a significant increase in injury prevention awareness and completed 45% more home safety behaviors in and around their homes. Nearly all of the parents felt the app provided them with the information needed to make their home safer for their children; the great majority of parents intended to make such changes in the future. CONCLUSIONS The combination of qualitative and quantitative data collection allowed for rich data capture and provided a deeper understanding of parents’ safety knowledge, behaviors, app use, and decision making regarding child injury prevention in and around the home. The Make Safe Happen app provides the information and motivation parents and caregivers need to help them take steps to prevent child injuries that may occur in and around their homes.

Child Injury Prevention

Abstract Introduction The complexity of injury and the multi-sectoral nature of its prevention demands a whole-of-society approach. Engaging with civil society in a form of collaborative governance is central to this approach. Civil society, defined as neither state, nor market, nor family, includes organisations such as advocacy groups, charities, professional associations etc. This study looks at the role of civil society organisations in the implementation of child injury prevention interventions in Europe. Methods The method was built upon an existing approach, known as ’organigraphs’. Mintzberg and van der Heyden developed the approach to depict how organisations actually work. We further developed its practical application to explore how interventions in child safety are developed, implemented and monitored across the local, regional, national and EU levels. Professionals working in child safety in 25 European countries were asked to draw organigraphs for an intervention in one of four child injury domains: road, water, home safety or intentional injury prevention. The analysis focused on the action surrounding civil society actors, represented by the connectors leading to and from those actors. Results We received 44 organigraphs in total from 31 participants in 24 countries; nine for intentional injury prevention, nine for water safety, 12 for road safety and 14 for home safety. Civil society actors were present in the majority of Organigraphs and they played multiple and diverse roles including: ’advising’, ’funding’ and ’implementing’ child safety initiatives. Conclusions The role of civil society, described in this data set, appears to be relatively well-developed. Strong, functional and long-standing partnerships between civil society actors across policy sectors and government may lead to greater capacity to address the complexity of child injury. Key messages Effective child injury prevention requires multi-sectoral action to address its complexity. Stakeholders come from the public and private sector and from civil society. Greater engagement with civil society may represent an opportunity for countries and regions to improve their response to the challenges of injury prevention among children.

Unintentional injury in children is a global problem that often occurs in all countries in the world. Various prevention efforts need to be done by all relevant stakeholders to reduce the number of unintentional injuries in children. The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of interventions on the prevention of unintentional injuries on children under 5 years (toddlers). A literature study with descriptive analysis was used in this study. Articles were obtained through an online database search on the ScienceDirect, Wiley, Sage, ProQuest, Google scholar databases published from 2015 to 2020. This study identified 48 articles and 9 articles met the inclusion criteria. The results of the study identified that in general all articles (n = 7) showed a positive effect on injury prevention in children, 1 article did not clearly illustrate its effect on prevention of child injury, 1 article had no effect on prevention of child injury. Future studies need to consider various risk factors that influence the effectiveness of an intervention in order to get positive results.

Objective: Unintentional injury is the leading cause of death for infants and young children in the USA, and the children of young mothers are at an even higher risk. Mobile health (mHealth) interventions have been successful in promoting behaviour change for many health conditions. This study assessed interest in mSafety, a text and video messaging mHealth intervention targeting injury prevention knowledge, behaviour and self-efficacy in young mothers. Design: Interviews with young mothers were conducted using a semi-structured interview guide. Setting: Interviews took place at a health clinic for teenage mothers and their children and at a local public charter high school which serves pregnant teenagers and young mothers. Method: A trained research assistant conducted semi-structured interviews with 20 young mothers (ages 15–20). Participants were asked both closed and open-ended questions to elicit opinions about their willingness to utilise mSafety. Results: The results of the interviews were positive. Participants were most interested in learning about the prevention of falls and poisonings, as well as safe sleep. Many emphasised that the language of the messages should be simple and that videos could be included to demonstrate methods of injury prevention. Most interviewees were willing to participate in a ‘virtual home safety visit’ in which participants text home photos to an expert to evaluate home safety practices. Conclusion: The concept of an mHealth intervention that would provide young mothers with the tools to prevent injuries among their children received positive feedback.

Fathers’ perspectives on masculinity can influence their perspectives on their children’s outdoor risky play. This study makes a novel contribution to bridging a gap in knowledge that exists between the fields of sexuality, family dynamics, and child injury prevention by exploring single, stay-at-home, and gay fathers’ perspectives on masculinity and the influence that these have on their perspectives of their 4- to 12-year-old children’s outdoor risky play practices. Through the use of semistructured interviews and critical discourse analysis, three discourses were identified: Masculinity and fatherhood are being redefined, fathers play an important role in their children’s experiences of outdoor risky play, and fathers should enforce limits during their children’s outdoor risky play.

The Relationship

PurposeWorkplace safety has been a persistent issue for safety-critical organizations. Based on self-verification theory, this study investigates how authentic leadership affects safety behaviors in a collectivistic context.Design/methodology/approachThis research collected 259 matching questionnaires for high-speed railway (HSR) drivers and their supervisors in China. Specifically, HSR drivers were invited to fill in their general perceived authentic leadership, person-organization fit and collectivistic orientation. In addition, their direct supervisors were invited to assess their safety behaviors.FindingsAuthentic leadership exhibits a significant positive impact on safety compliance and safety participation, implying that authentic leadership positively impacts safety behavior. The person-organization fit partially mediated the relationship between authentic leadership and safety behavior (safety compliance and participation). Furthermore, collectivistic orientation moderates the relationship between authentic leadership and person-organization fit.Originality/valueThe findings of this study provide important insights into authentic leadership and person-organization fit for developing effective strategies to improve workplace safety.
