Understanding causes of childhood injury in Dak LakAccident injuries have been the highest cause of death among children under the age of 16 in the world as well as in Vietnam. A cross-sectional study was conducted among a total of 2,273 households (which included 4,505 children aged under 16) in 8 communes of Buon Ma Thuot city, Daklak province. The aims of this study were to examine the prevalence and characteristics of accident injuries among children under the age of 16 and to identify the first aid situation as well as treatment outcomes for these accidents injures. The result showed that the prevalence of accident injuries was 7.8%. The overall rate of accident injuries was 7,523/100,000. Overall proportion of households having accident injuries which occurred among children aged under 16 years old was 14.9%; This rate was higher among males than that among females (9,126/100,000 vs. 5,818/100,000), and among the Minority groups than among the Kinh group (10,091/100,000 vs. 6,061/100,000).
The prevalence of injuries by age groups
Falling and traffic accident were the most common causes of accident injuries in this study (43.6% and 23.2% respectively ); 23.8% of injuries did not receive any first aid. The most common transport methods were by motorbikes (92.1%), only 0.4% of injury cases were transferred by ambulance cars. The common places of first aids were private hospitals; public hospitals, commune health centers (45.5%; 21.9% and 11.9% respectively). Most of the children came to health facilities after the occurrence of accidents within 1 hour or less (64.5%). Inpatient hospital treatment accounted for 23.9%, of which 91.5% received internal medicine treatment and 8.2% received surgical method (8.2%). Implementing commitment of ICHR, Hue UMP regarding providing more scientific evidence in health management for the partner provinces, an intervention program for reducing injury risks have been operated in several communes in Buon Ma Thuot city, Dak Lak Province.
