Abstract

Objectives: To estimate the prevalence, patterns, and risk factors for injury among under-five children.

Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in the rural areas of Khordha district among 600 under-five children. A multistage sampling technique was used to assess the prevalence, patterns, and factors associated with injuries using a semi-structured questionnaire, followed by an environmental hazard assessment of the built environment of the selected participants.

Results: Childhood injury prevalence was 44.6% (95% CI 40.6, 48.7). Falls were the commonest injuries; 87% falls occurred at home. Only 19% of the major injuries received formal healthcare. The child's age, parental awareness, and environmental hazard risk were associated with the occurrence of injuries.

Conclusion: The built environment plays a significant role in childhood injuries in the rural areas of Odisha. Public health measures such as a safe built environment for households and neighborhoods should be promoted.

奥里萨邦科尔达县农村地区5岁以下儿童受伤概况——基于社区的横断面研究

目标：估计五岁以下儿童受伤的普遍程度、模式和风险因素：估计五岁以下儿童受伤的发生率、模式和风险因素：在科尔达县农村地区对 600 名五岁以下儿童进行了社区横断面研究。采用多阶段抽样技术，使用半结构式问卷评估伤害的发生率、模式和相关因素，然后对选定参与者的建筑环境进行环境危害评估：儿童受伤率为 44.6%（95% CI 40.6-48.7）。跌倒是最常见的伤害；87%的跌倒发生在家中。只有 19% 的重大伤害得到了正规的医疗保健。儿童的年龄、父母的意识和环境危害风险与伤害的发生有关：结论：在奥迪沙农村地区，建筑环境在儿童伤害中扮演着重要角色。应推广公共卫生措施，如为家庭和社区提供安全的建筑环境。
