“…Low education, female breadwinners, more children and a feeling of fatigue were reported to be some of the hurdles parents face, which make adoption of safety measures ever more challenging 37. Among children, boys suffer more threats and injuries 45. This might be due to the fact that boys are highly exposed to danger compared with girls.…”

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.

Basically, human behaviour is a complex phenomenon determined by individual, behavioural and environmental factors.…”

“…The injuries arising from road accidents, falling, burning, poisoning and suicide are among the common causes of intentional and unintentional injuries4 in Eastern Mediterranean 5. The injuries incur huge costs6 in a way that 90% of injury-related financial burden falls on low-income or middle-income countries 7. In assessing risks, researchers pay particular attention to child protection services and precarious living conditions with the latter inflicting severe injuries to children 7.…”

BackgroundInjuries are increasing global public health problems, causing disability and death among children. This has considerable financial, emotional and social eﬀects on families and society. This study aimed to investigate the behavioural and environmental factors leading to unintentional home injuries and attempts to highlight the pivotal role of mothers’ behaviour and performance to provide a safe place for children at home.MethodsThe current research is a qualitative study of a directed content analysis type. The data were gathered through semistructured interviews conducted in participants’ workplaces, namely universities, research centres and health centres. In some cases, telephone interviews were conducted within 3 months, from February 2021 to May 2021 in Tehran, Iran. The participants were selected through non-probability and purposive sampling. All the recorded interviews and notes were accurately evaluated, and data analysis was performed based on the content analysis. There were 29 interviews in total: 12 interviews with mothers, 9 with treatment and prevention specialists, and 8 with researchers.ResultsA total of 66 factors, 6 subcategories and 2 main categories were extracted after analysing the interviews. The main categories included environmental and behavioural factors. The subcategories included house infrastructure, house equipment/furniture, children’s equipment/furniture, provision of precarious conditions, access to hazardous substances and appliances, and unsafe arrangement of furniture.ConclusionDespite the existing obstacles such as the long-term implementation, financial difficulties and overcomplicated policy-making process, health interventions can make it possible for mothers of children under the age of seven to adopt preventive measures through appropriately designed instructions and optimal use of existing facilities.
