1Classified Specialist (Preventive and Social Medicine), 6 Wing, Air Force. C/o 99 APO.
Abstract:
1420 members of 360 families were studied for incidence of domestic accidents (DA) over a period of one year. Average incidence of DA was 110.56 per 1000 per year. Statistically significant bimodal distribution of above-average incidence was seen under 15 and above 36 years age group. Incidence of DA was inversely related to literacy and economic status of the population. Commonest type of accident was fall (54.1%) injuring lower limbs in majority of cases (40.1%). Commonest place of accident was garden/compound (34.39%) and most of the accidents occurred between 1400-2000 hours (49.94%). Interaction of certain predisposing factors was found significant in the occurrence of DA. Further community studies have been suggested to create awareness regarding prevention of DA among the families.
