School injuries and their prevention from the present perspective

Background: ‪Injuries are considered worldwide to be the most significant health problem, especially in childhood. In the Czech Republic, injuries are the most common cause of death among children and young adults. The aim of the study was to provide more insight in school accidents in the Czech Republic from 2008 to 2018 and to estimate future trends. Material and methods: ‪Annual reports of the Czech School Inspectorate (CSI) from 2007 to 2017 were the main sources of data. Results: ‪A high number of injuries occur in the school environment, especially at the primary level. In the Czech Republic, there has been a trend of rising numbers in reported school injuries over the last three years, from 33,000 in 2008 to 46,000 in 2018. Over the last 5 years, the number of reported accidents has increased by 1,000 per year. The most injuries occur in primary schools, within the subject Physical Education. Conclusions: ‪There are many activities which focus on the prevention of child injuries, the incidence of which has improved in recent years. Experience shows that when prevention programs include innovations and interesting presentation methods, they are successful.

First Aid Knowledge and Practice

Background: First aid is the assessments and interventions that can be performed by medic (or by the injured person) immediately with minimal or no medical equipment. Training is necessary to equip the first aid provider with the knowledge, skill, and confidence to attend to an emergency. Objectives: To assess the knowledge and practices of primary school teachers in Hay Al-Salaam Al-Sakani about the first aid. Methods: A cross-sectional study with analytic element was conducted in Baghdad during the period from February to August 2018. Eight schools were choose randomly, 145 teachers who were work in choosing schools and accept to involve in this study. A structure questionnaire depending on the Iraqi Red Crescent guideline for First Aid, and American College of Emergency Physician's First Aid manual 5th edition was used. Results: One hundred and forty five teachers were involved in this study, 44.1% of them aged 40–49 year, most of them were females (93.8%), graduated institute (63.4%), married (77.9%), had one to three children (65.5%), had 11–18 years teaching experience (30.3%). Only 30.3% applied first aid previously, most of the teachers (71%) did not involve in first aid training courses. Teachers age had statistically significant association with first aid general-knowledge, knowledge about poisoning, fractures, and burn. Their educational level had statistically significant with knowledge about coma, epilepsy, fractures, mouth injuries, and burn. Conclusion: First aid knowledge in general and in each type of school accident was good except knowledge in asphyxia and electric shock were fair knowledge; most of them were not involved in training courses for first aid, or applied first aid.

Educação infantil: estratégia de capacitação dos professores em primeiros socorros

O objetivo desse artigo é investigar, nas produções cietíficas nacionais e internacionais, a importância atuação do professor de educação infantil nos acidentes escolares. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, cuja coleta de dados foi realizada no período de maio a junho de 2019, utilizando as seguintes bases de dados: Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO), Biblioteca Virtual da Saúde (BVS), Portal de Periódicos da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES), Banco de Dados em Enfermagem (BDENF) e a National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health (PUBMED). Os resultados foram apresentados sob a forma de quadro e analisados em categorias.A análise dos artigos incluídos no estudo, após uma leitura crítica, corroborou com a criação de duas categorias: prevenção de acidentes no ambiente escolar; capacitação sobre acidentes escolares, uma necessidade efetiva. Conclui-se que o estudo contribuiu para ampliar o conhecimento e evidenciar as lacunas existentes no tema abordado. Foi possível reconhecer e analisar a luz do referencial teórico que as prevenções de acidentes nessas pesquisas foram abordadas de forma mais expressiva e, em seguida, a capacitação dos docentes dessa área. Tal lacuna deve ser preenchida, já que capacitação dos professores da educação infantil pode prevenir ou minimizar riscos de sequelas caso os acidentes ocorram.

Headmasters’ Safety Management and Performance in Two Malaysian National Primary Schools

A conducive environment to ensure safety among school students is crucial as most of the time they are at school and grow up in school settings. It is vital to understand that, this period is a critical development stage for students whereby their personality is developed holistically in a different environment from home. The failure of handling hazards effectively and neglecting attitude on reporting cases contributes to the rising number of accidents in schools. Thus, the study aims to explore headmasters’ strategies in safety management and how they strengthen teacher’s safety performances in schools.  An explorative case study research design was adopted using purposive sampling. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews with two headmasters. The data analyses were performed by reviewing the informants’ transcripts, and the transcripts were coded through open, axial and selective coding. The findings of the study revealed seven strategies implemented by the headmaster's in managing school safety are: (a) Importance of Safety Management; (b) Acting as Role Model; (c) Communicates School Safety; (d) Safety Practices; (e) Training Teachers; (f) Budget Arrangements; and (g) Alliance with School Community. Findings also revealed headmaster’s strengthen teacher’s safety performances in schools in two ways: (a) Trust in Teachers; and (b) Teachers Execute Programmes. This study provides an insight into the headmaster's safety management and safety performance in two Malaysian primary schools. Besides, policymakers will benefit from the change that could be made on safety-related matters with the aim of reducing the number of accident and incident cases among school students.&nbsp

Effect of first aid training on teams from special education schools.

Analyze the effect of first aid training on the knowledge of multidisciplinary teams from special education schools, in school accidents. A quasi-experimental, before-and-after study with a single comparison group. Descriptive statistics and McNemar's test were used to evaluate the effect of the intervention. This study had the participation of 162 higher education professionals, predominantly teachers (82.1%), female (97.5%), aged over 40 (69.2%). An increase in correct answers was observed, with statistical significance (≤0.05), especially in proper handling in case of fall with traumatic brain injury, electric shock, and burn due to hot liquid (98.1%, 98.1% and 96.9% of proper response, respectively). First aid training for child accidents, through content exhibition, in a dialogical and practical way, proved to be efficient for multidisciplinary teams from special education schools for people with disabilities.

Road Transport Accident Analysis from A System-Based Accident Analysis Approach Using Swiss Cheese Model

Road safety has become a major concern to both developed and developing countries due to its negative economic impacts. Although, numerous approaches of accident analysis have been conducted, there seem to be an increase in road crashes every year. The main aim of this study is to analyse a driving school accident using a system-based accident analysis approach. The data for the study was collected using an interview. A Swiss Cheese Accident Causation Model was used to identify the factors that contributed to the accident. The study identified four weaknesses in the system defences of the driving school that created a possible accident trajectory. It is concluded that adopting system-based accident analysis approach in analysing road transport accidents, could lead to a greater understanding of latent conditions and road user error, which in turn could inform the development of intervention strategies within a road transport domain as suggested by other studies. Finally, the short falls of using only person approach of accident analysis in road transport domain are also highlighted.

Liability Determination of School Sports Injury Accidents: An Analysis Framework Based on Evolutionary Game.

In recent years, the outbreak of many school sports injury accidents aroused widespread public concern about liability determination of accident. Previous studies have examined the legal application of the liability principles from a law perspective, but few kinds of research attempted to analyze the progress of liability determination from the perspective of “law economics”. To fill this research gap, we introduce the evolutionary game model, as an important theoretical tool of “law economics”, to investigate how various factors influence the strategy selection of the parties, as well as examine what liability principle can effectively treat school sports injury accidents. The results indicate that the strategic selection of the subject of liability is significantly related to the accident compensation cost and the prevention cost of both parties. Moreover, we also find that both strict and proportional liability rules can play key roles in dealing with the issue of liability determination of school sports injury accidents, but the two liability rules have different effects on the strategic selection of parties. More specifically, compared to the strict liability principle, the proportional liability principle can motivate both the school and the students to adopt the active strategy of “appropriate caution” to prevent occurring sports injury accidents in schools.

Schools that Allow Teachers to Carry Guns are Extremely Safe: Data on the Rate of Shootings and Accidents in Schools that allow Teachers to Carry

After the Columbine school shooting 20 years ago, one of the more significant changes in how we protect students has been the advance of legislation that allows teachers to carry guns at schools. There are two obvious questions: Does letting teachers carry create dangers? Might they deter attackers? Twenty states currently allow teachers and staff to carry guns to varying degrees on school property, so we don’t need to guess how the policy would work. There has yet to be a single case of someone being wounded or killed from a shooting, let alone a mass public shooting, between 6 AM and midnight at a school that lets teachers carry guns. Fears of teachers carrying guns in terms of such problems as students obtaining teachers guns have not occurred at all, and there was only one accidental discharge outside of school hours with no one was really harmed. While there have not been any problems at schools with armed teachers, the number of people killed at other schools has increased significantly – doubling between 2001 and 2008 versus 2009 and 2018.

Investigation of Work Accidents in Vocational and Technical High Schools

As indicated in work accident reports in educational contexts, it can be noted that students in vocational and technical high schools involved in work accidents are often inexperienced individuals in the tasks or don't have enough occupational knowledge. In this regard, it wouldn't be wrong to say that a thorough occupational health and safety (OHS) awareness must be raised and students must be provided with proper work health and safety education. This study dwells on reported occupational accident cases taking place in Vocational and Technical Anatolian High Schools affiliated with Ministry of National Education (MoNE) in Amasya, Kirsehir and Aydin provinces in Turkey. A total of 147 teachers were solicited for the study in 20 schools. Purposeful and criteria sampling methods were employed while selecting the participants. A qualitative research method was adopted in this study. Data were obtained through semi-structured interview form and obtained data were analysed through content analysis technique. Because of the statistical analysis of the data obtained, the factors affecting the work accidents are presented and the suggestions are given for the precautions to be taken to prevent work accidents or to reduce them to minimum levels.

A elaboração do Mapa de Riscos serviu como instrumento de ensino e aprendizagem de acordo com os resultados do trabalho, que possibilitou a desenvoltura de uma cultura de segurança e prevenção de acidentes, além de solidificar os conhecimentos em ciências.

Design and Development of a Safety Educational Adventure Game

The lack of effective safety education training in curriculum design could expose children to serious safety accidents both in schools and at homes in China. To highlight the importance of safety education, this study was intended to design and implement an adventure video game (AVG) on mobile devices, hoping to improve children’s safety knowledge and skills through interactive gameplay. The proposed AVG app situated children in real dangerous circumstances through roleplaying and then engaged them in learning safety re-lated knowledge through case scenarios. To balance the entertainment and edu-tainment of the game, this app integrated theories of game design and child de-velopment to support its design rationale, including interface interaction and game badges. This app was evaluated through interviews and video analysis so that later improvements were made according to feedback from participants, parents and experts.

Bayesian analysis of school bus accidents: a case study of China

Prevention and control of school bus accidents have been a hot spot topic around the world. The catastrophic accident can result in severe casualties associated with negative social impacts. In this study, a Bayesian network (BN) model is established for school bus accident assessments considering the influential factors including human error, vehicle failure, environmental impacts and management deficiency. The conditional probabilities of a few root nodes are statistically obtained based on school bus accidents that occurred in the past decade in China. The conditional probabilities of other BN nodes are determined by expert knowledge with treatment by the Dempster–Shafer evidence theory. The consequences of different scenarios of school accidents are estimated via changing the state values of some BN nodes. Furthermore, by conducting sensitivity analysis to the proposed BN, it is identified that “overload” is the most influential factor causing a school accident. The results of the proposed model indicate that the integration of Bayesian network and the Dempster–Shafer evidence theory is an effective framework for school bus accident assessment, which could provide more practical analysis for school bus accidents. This study could contribute to providing technical supports for school bus safety particularly in developing countries.
