Abstract

Purpose: Falls are a common cause of unintentional injuries in infants. This study was conducted to examine the patterns of healthcare utilization following infant falls in South Korea.

Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study utilized an online survey designed to gather information regarding the general characteristics of parents and infants, fall-related variables, and healthcare use.

Results: The most serious falls identified by parents occurred at an average infant age of 6.97 months. Most fall incidents took place indoors (95.7%), and many occurred under the supervision of caregivers (68.0%). Following the fall, 36.4% of the participants used healthcare services. Logistic regression analysis revealed that healthcare use following an infant fall was significantly associated with being a firstborn child (odds ratio [OR]=5.32, 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.19-15.28) and falling from a caregiver's arms (OR=4.22; 95% CI, 1.45-13.68).

Conclusion: To prevent and decrease the frequency of infant falls, improvements are needed in both the domestic environment and parenting approaches.

韩国婴儿跌倒后医疗保健利用率的相关因素:一项横断面在线调查。
目的:跌倒是造成婴儿意外伤害的常见原因。本研究旨在调查韩国婴儿跌倒后的医疗保健使用模式。方法:这项横断面描述性研究利用了一项在线调查,旨在收集有关父母和婴儿的一般特征、跌倒相关变量和医疗保健使用的信息。结果:父母发现最严重的跌倒发生在婴儿平均6.97个月大的时候。大多数跌倒事件发生在室内(95.7%),许多发生在护理人员的监督下(68.0%)。跌倒后,36.4%的参与者使用了医疗服务。Logistic回归分析显示,婴儿跌倒后的医疗保健使用与头胎(比值比[OR]=5.32,95%置信区间[CI],2.19-15.28)和从看护人的手臂上跌落(OR=4.22;95%置信区间,1.45-13.68)显著相关。结论:为了预防和降低婴儿跌倒的频率,家庭环境和养育子女的方法都需要改进。
