Aim:
To analyse relationships between selected elements of family, school and peer environments and susceptibility to medically treated repeated injuries in pupils aged 11, 13 and 15 yrs in Poland.
Material And Methods:
The survey was carried out in 2002 on the representative sample of pupils (N=6383), within the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children: A WHO Collaborative Cross-national Study (HBSC).
Results:
Outcomes of the study indicate that frequency of repeated injuries amounts to 8.6% and rises for pupils from incomplete families (for children living with stepmother OR=3.6, 95% CI 1.40-8.99), being in touch with many friends (OR=2.35, 95% CI 1.82-3.03), whose parents are not ready to help them with school problems (OR=4.28, 95% CI 2.24-8.18) and teachers are not friendly (OR=2.79, 95% CI 1.78-4.38).
Conclusions:
Improving relations in families and schools can help in decreasing the frequency of repeated injuries among adolescents.
