Abstract

Objective To investigate the use of child safety seats for children aged 0 - 6 years after child safety seats were first written into the Law on the Protection of Minors, and to understand the correlation between parents′ risk perception and children′s safety seat use behavior, so as to provide reference for follow-up intervention. Methods From January to April 2022, the convenience sampling method was used to select children′s health department of a third-class hospital in Qingdao, a kindergarten and a community health service center as the survey sites. The parents of children aged 0 - 6 years from families with private cars were investigated by using the questionnaire on the current situation of children′s riding safety and the diagnostic scale of children′s riding risk behavior. Results The utilization rate of child safety seats was 53.4%(222/416), and the high frequency utilization rate was 23.6%(98/416). The results of regression analysis showed that parents participation experience of children′s accidental injury training(OR=1.887, 95%CI:1.149 - 3.102), parents with college degree or above(college:OR=4.486, 95%CI:1.956 - 10.278; bacholor′ s degree:OR=5.249, 95%CI:2.307 - 11.953), perceived susceptibility(OR=1.701, 95%CI:1.220 - 2.373), response efficiency(OR=1.642, 95%CI:1.191 - 2.264), self-efficacy(OR=1.759, 95%CI:1.285 - 2.408), type selection cognition(OR=1.413, 95%CI:1.085 - 1.840) were significantly influencing factor of child safety seat use behavior(P<0.05). Conclusions After being included in national legislation for the first time, the usage rate of child safety seats increases slightly while high frequency usage rate was low. Higher levels of risk perception can promote parents to take active measures to avoid child car injuries. Therefore, parents′ subjective judgments about their perceptions and confidence in preventing car injuries caused by not using child safety seats should be strengthened so as to increase the use of child safety seats.
