Keywords:
Child, Domestic accidents, PreventionAbstract
Goal: To evaluate the perception of caregivers regarding the prevention of accidents to their children in the domestic environment. Methodology: Cross-sectional observational study. Sixty people in charge of students from a municipal public school in Salvador/Bahia were interviewed. The data collection took place from December 2014 to October 2015. The perceptions of safety and domestic risks were evaluated, as well as accidents and preventive measures adopted. Results: Most of those responsible people were highly concerned about the risks of domestic children's accidents and considered extra-community environments as more prone. Although measures were taken to create protection against accidents, all children had already suffered some kind of injury. Conclusion: those responsible people knew the risks of accidents with children at home and ways to prevent it. Despite the precautions taken, accidents still occurred.
