“…We examined data on fatal and non-fatal injuries among children and teens aged 0–19 years using two large data systems. All data were accessed using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Web-based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting System (WISQARS), which is a free, interactive, online database that provides information on fatal and nonfatal injuries and cost of injuries from a variety of trusted sources [ 1 , 3 ]. Data are publically available and provide no personal identifiable information.…”

Injuries and violence among young people have a substantial emotional, physical, and economic toll on society. Understanding the epidemiology of this public health problem can guide prevention efforts, help identify and reduce risk factors, and promote protective factors. We examined fatal and nonfatal unintentional injuries, injuries intentionally inflicted by other (i.e., assaults and homicides) among children ages 0–19, and intentionally self-inflicted injuries (i.e., self-harm and suicides) among children ages 10–19. We accessed deaths (1999–2015) and visits to emergency departments (2001–2015) for these age groups through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Web-based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting System (WISQARS), and examined trends and differences by age, sex, race/ethnicity, rural/urban status, and injury mechanism. Almost 13,000 children and adolescents age 0–19 years died in 2015 from injury and violence compared to over 17,000 in 1999. While the overall number of deaths has decreased over time, there were increases in death rates among certain age groups for some categories of unintentional injury and for suicides. The leading causes of injury varied by age group. Our results indicate that efforts to reduce injuries to children and adolescents should consider cause, intent, age, sex, race, and regional factors to assure that prevention resources are directed at those at greatest risk.

“…For youth aged 10‐14 years suicide is the third leading cause of death, 1 and among adolescents aged 15‐19 years suicide is the second leading cause of death 2 . Whereas more male adolescents commit suicide, female adolescents are more likely to have suicidal thoughts, 3,4 plan and attempted suicide 4,5 .…”

BACKGROUND: For youth between the ages of 10 and 24, suicide is the third leading cause of death, and results in approximately 4600 lives lost each year. Body weight status and bullying is associated with increase mental health disorders. METHODS: We analyzed data from the 2015 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, consisting of 15,506 students in grades 9-12. Logistic regression analysis was performed using STATA13 to estimate the independent association of perceived weight status and bullying experienced at school and electronically to suicidal behaviors measured as-considered suicide, made a suicide plan, attempted suicide, and injurious suicide attempt, after controlling for socio-demographics. RESULTS: Considered suicide and attempted suicide were significantly associated with very overweight, slightly overweight, very underweight, and slightly underweight weight perceptions. Made suicide plan was significantly associated with slightly and very overweight perceptions. Injurious suicide attempt was significantly associated with very underweight or very overweight perceptions. Bullying, at school and electronically was significantly associated with all suicidal behaviors. CONCLUSIONS: Examination of not just body weight status but body weight perceptions held by adolescent students, and the experience of not just in-person bullying but also electronic bullying on youth suicidal behaviors is crucial.

“…Creating a well-organized nursing safety culture atmosphere, cultivating nurses' risk awareness, prevention awareness, and legal awareness are the guarantee of reducing the occurrence of falls. Elderly patients are at signi cantly high risk for falls [32]. The hospital in this study was conducted at a neurological and psychiatric center, where most of the inpatients were elderly.…”

Background: Falls are one of the most common adverse nursing events and sensitive indicators to measure nursing quality. The interventions for fall prevention are important; however, monitoring tools for the implementation are scarce.Methods: To explore the effects of monitoring the fall prevention process in reducing inpatients’ falls. Historically controlled trial and retrospective analysis. Explore and refer to the "structure-process-result" quality evaluation model. The design included assessment of fall risks, knowledge of prevention, participation of patients and their families, environment and management. The monitoring form for the implementation of fall prevention measures was used to monitor the effect and reduce the incidence rate of falls. Results: The incidence rate of falls among inpatients with different risk levels was compared and analyzed before monitoring (control group) and 12 months, 24 months, 36 months later after monitoring. The trend chi-square results showed that the incidence rate of falls decreased from 0.199‰ to 0.101‰, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). The probability of falls 12 months and 36 months later after intervention was 0.84 times and 0.51 times that of control group. The proportion of patients at high risk of falls had a decreasing trend.Conclusions: After the use of the monitoring form, the incidence rate of falls reduces, nurses' professional quality and personal ability are improved, the awareness of patients and family members participating in patient’s safety is strengthened, the environmental safety management is strengthened and the hardware facility is improved.
