“…Another important factor is observational or peripheral learning that can not only form new sets of behaviour but it can also affect the frequency of occurrence of former learnt behaviour. Peripheral learning can even reinforce forbidden behaviour 32. Thus, it is expected that observing other parents taking safety measures can influence mother’s behaviour.…”

“…Thus, it is expected that observing other parents taking safety measures can influence mother’s behaviour. The perceived benefits include those that one gains in return for following safety measures which can play a key role in behaviour change 32. According to one study, communicating with one’s spouse, not trusting neighbours or not entrusting one’s child to strangers and viewing politicians with scepticism were cited to be the contributory factors in house injuries 40.…”

BackgroundChild injury is not seen as a new issue in medical science and public health; however, for years it has been either generally brushed aside or been conspicuously absent from the world health agenda. This study aims at investigating the factors leading to house injuries and attempts to highlight mothers’ pivotal role to provide a safe place for children at home.MethodsA qualitative research method was used. There were 29 interviews in total: 12 interviews with mothers, 9 with cure and prevention specialists and 8 with researchers. The data were gathered through semistructured interviews conducted in participants’ workplaces namely universities, research centres, health centres and in some cases through telephone in 3 months from February 2021 to May 2021 in Tehran, Iran. The participants were selected through non-probability and purposive sampling. All of the recorded interviews and notes were accurately evaluated and data analysis was performed based on the content analysis.ResultsIn this study, 29 participants’ views were examined: 12 mothers (41.37%), 8 researchers (27.5%) and 9 treatment and prevention experts (31%). After the analysis of the interviews, 96 codes, 14 subcategories and 3 main categories were extracted. The main categories included the predisposing factors, reinforcing factors and enabling factors. The subcategories included perceived sensitivity, perceived susceptibility, health control centre, perceived benefits, observational or peripheral learning, social support, family support, abstract norms, valuing children’s health, background factors, skills, rules and regulations, child’s character traits and self-efficacy to overcome barriers.ConclusionHouse injuries among children are a complicated and multifaceted issue that requires a comprehensive investigation to determine the contributing factors.

Baghdad city population is growing rapidly and soon it will reach 10 million, and this has increased the number of drivers on city streets which accompanied with the absence of adequate traffic enforcement and traffic control devices to match this increase. Current research main objective is to assess city drivers and passenger’s compliance to use seat belts as a safety precaution. The study consists of two main surveys conducted in the field considering gender, vehicle type, and other drivers characteristics. The first one consists of a questionnaire asking respondents to answer multiple choice questions about seat belt use and other questions associated with respondents’ demographics. Whereas second part involves observing seat belt use among city drivers and passengers at selected locations. Also, we sought information about seat belt use as a driver, front seat passenger, and rear seat passenger. Only 20% of the sample in field observational survey were wearing seat belt as a driver. Printed questionnaire reveals that only 12% are used to buckle up all the time, and 28% never use seat belt in their life, and the rest use seat belt occasionally. Seat belt rates for passengers were 5% only, and most passengers do not care about seat belts and many cars have disabled or malfunction seat belts. Four reasons for putting seat belt were considered and ranked as to avoid injuries, to avoid fines, to follow seat belt law, and wearing seat belt when people in the same car are wearing it.
