The Research On Educating Parents To Prevent Children From Acute Poisoning

Objective:This study aims to describe the parents’ knowledge,belief,attitude and behavior status of preventing children’s acute poisoning. This research evaluates the effect of intervention on the parents’ knowledge,belief, attitude and behavior status of preventing children’s acute poisoning.Methed:This research belongs to experimental research.First of all,100 children patients staying in a certain hospitals at the same time are selected through sampling method.The children in Department One is called the intervention group,while those in Department Two is called the controlled group,each group has 50 parents. The controlled group is educated by general knowledge. The intervention group is educated on the content of related knowledge on preventing children’s acute poisoning besides the routine health education,including the prevention and saving of children poisoning. We also illustrate common dangerous factors,concept, damage,situation and features of diseases. We also teach the parents some knowledge about children’s taking medicines by mistake,wrong ways of taking medicine,vitamin poisoning, alcohol poisoning,lead poisoning and gas poisoning etc. The methods include lecture,discussion and giving materials to parents. Before the education intervention and intervention one month later,we did a survey on the related parents through “the family general situation questionnaire " and " parents prevent children poisoning knowledge questionnaire " the parents prevent children poisoning related belief/attitude questionnaire " " parents prevent children poisoning related behavior questionnaire" the family demographic characteristics which are adapted by ourselves. SPSS16.0 statistical software is used to complete data analysis. Statistical analysis include descriptive statistics,two sample t test and χ2 test,single factor analysis of variance,Spearman and Pearson correlation analysis,multiple linear stepwise regression analysis. P<0.05 is consideved statistically significant.Result:1 The differences of the parents on education,job,monthly income about the score of the knowledge of preventing children acute poison is statistically significant(P<0.05). The parents master the knowledge better who have higher education,highly month income and whose children have poisonous history.2 The parents’ score about the attitude of preventing children from poisoning isn’t affected by the related factors of the research. The individual score difference is not statistically significant(P>0.05).3.The parents’ score differences about preventing children poisoning,whose age is different,whose monthly income are different and whose children have poisoning history or not is statistically significant(P<0.05).Those parents behave better,who are older,who have higher monthly income and whose children have poisoning history.4 The two groups parents’ knowledge level of preventing children’s poisoning is low before health education and has no statistical significance after health education,the intervention group’s level is higher(12.19 +1.02),while the controlled group(6.98+1.68)remain the low level. There are obvious differences between the two groups(P<0.01).5 The parents attitude towards preventing children poisoning remains medium level before health education. Their comparison has no statistical significance. After health education,the intervention group’s level(53.18 + 2.85) is higher while the controlled group(41.54 +1.28) remains medium level.There are obvious differences between the two groups(P<0.05),(score range 13-65).6 The parents’ behavior about preventing the children’s poisoning isn’t correct before health education which has no statistical significance.After health education,the behavior of the parents of the intervention group(49.86 + 1.28) is correct,while the controlled group(29.53+2.10) remains wrong. There are obvious differences between them(P<0.05),(score range 0-66).Conclusion:1 The education intervention can improve related knowledge level of the parents efficiently to prevent children from poisoning.It can improve related belief,attitude and related behavior level.2 Difference in education level,career, average income per person and poison history are independent factors of knowledge level of the parents to prevent children from poisoning; Difference in age,average income per person and poison history are independent factors of behavior level of the parents to prevent children from poisoning.
