Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Education
  • Injury Prevention

Background:

  • Primary health care professionals play a crucial role in child injury prevention.
  • Existing knowledge and practices regarding injury prevention may require enhancement.
  • A structured training program could improve healthcare providers' capacity in this area.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a multi-disciplinary training program on injury prevention.
  • To assess changes in knowledge, attitudes, and practices among primary health care professionals.
  • To determine the impact of training on specific injury prevention behaviors.

Main Methods:

  • A controlled follow-up study involving primary health care professionals in Nottinghamshire.
  • Participants included health visitors, general practitioners, and practice nurses.
  • Trained participants were compared against a matched control group using pre- and post-training questionnaires.

Main Results:

  • Significant increases in correct answers regarding accidental injury epidemiology were observed in the trained group.
  • Practice nurses showed significant positive changes in attitude scores post-training.
  • Trained health visitors increased hazard identification, discussion with parents, and post-injury home visits; GPs increased poster displays; and overall inter-agency contacts for child safety rose.

Conclusions:

  • The multi-disciplinary training program was effective in improving injury prevention knowledge and specific practices.
  • While attitudes showed less significant change, particularly in health visitors and general practitioners, this may be due to high baseline scores.
  • The findings support the value of targeted education for enhancing injury prevention efforts within primary health care settings.
