Resumo: Objective: To investigate the factors related to traffic accidents involving children and adolescents admitted to a public tertiary hospital in Fortaleza and the level of knowledge of their parents or guardians about the rights of injured. The studied variables were those related to the victims (age, sex, schooling, and family income), on the type and the injuries resulting from the accident and the degree of knowledge about the rights of injured Methods: It was a descriptive, observational, and quantitative study, which sample consisted of 45 inpatients. Results: Males prevailed [33 (73.3%)]. The age group was from 1 to 17 years old, distributed in a similar way, with 30 (66.6%) victims in Primary School, with a family income of 1.6 minimum wages, and 25 (55.6%) coming from the countryside. As for the type of accident, running over prevailed, accounting for 29 (64.4%) victims, guilt being attributed to others in 17 (37.8%) cases. The diagnosis of cranioencephalic trauma and/or of members was the main one [20 (40%)]. Regarding the victims’ parents or guardians, 38 (84%) did not know about the existence of the insurance of Personal Damage Caused by Automobiles, which they are entitled to receive; and 31 (71%) had not been previously introduced to any accident prevention campaign. Conclusion: In the studied sample, the accidents mainly occurred by running over, with cranioencephalic trauma, and the victims and their family are unaware of some of the rights of injured.

Métodos: Tratou-se de um estudo de natureza descritiva, observacional e com abordagem quantitativa, cuja amostra constituiu-se de 45 pacientes internados. As variáveis estudadas foram às relacionadas ao acidentado (idade, sexo, grau de escolaridade e renda familiar); quanto ao tipo e as lesões decorrente do acidente e o grau de conhecimento sobre os direitos do acidentado. Resultados: Predominou o sexo masculino [33 (73,3%)]. A faixa etária foi de 1 a 17 anos, distribuída de forma semelhante, com 30 (66,6%) vítimas no ensino fundamental incompleto, renda familiar predominante de 1,6 salários mínimos e 25 (55,6%) procedendo do interior. Quanto ao tipo de acidente, o atropelamento preponderou, contabilizando 29(64,4%) vítimas, sendo atribuída a culpa a terceiros em 17 (37,8%) casos. O diagnóstico de traumatismo cranioencefálico e/ou traumatismo de membros foi o mais encontrado [20 (40%)]. Em relação aos responsáveis, 38 (84%) desconheciam a existência do seguro de Danos Pessoais Causados por Veículos Automotores de Vias Terrestres, ao qual têm direito; e 31 (71%) indivíduos não tinham conhecimento anterior sobre campanhas de prevenção de acidentes de trânsito. Conclusão: Na amostra estudada, os acidentes ocorreram principalmente por atropelamento, com traumatismo cranioencefálico, e as vitimas e seus familiares desconhecem parte dos direitos dos acidentados.Universidade de Fortaleza2012-01-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion"Peer-reviewed Article""Avaliado pelos pares""Avaliado pelos pares"application/pdfhttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/35310.5020/353Brazilian Journal in Health Promotion; Vol. 22 No. 2 (2009); 100-106Revista Brasileña en Promoción de la Salud; Vol. 22 Núm. 2 (2009); 100-106Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde; v. 22 n. 2 (2009); 100-1061806-1230reponame:Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúdeinstname:Universidade de Fortaleza (Unifor)instacron:UFORporhttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/353/2258Dantas, Márcia Maria PinheiroSilva, Anamaria Cavalcante eAlmeida, Paulo César deGurgel, Luilma Albuquerqueinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2012-01-10T12:19:46Zoai:ojs.ojs.unifor.br:article/353Revistahttps://periodicos.unifor.br/RBPS/oai1806-12301806-1222opendoar:2012-01-10T12:19:46Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde - Universidade de Fortaleza (Unifor)false
