RESUMO O transporte automóvel com o correcto
sistema de retenção pode evitar
até 90% de lesões graves em caso de
acidente, particularmente no recém-nascido
(RN). O objectivo deste trabalho foi
avaliar a forma de transporte do recém-nascido
após a alta hospitalar; conhecer
as atitudes dos pais em relação ao
transporte de crianças em automóvel e
os factores determinantes na decisão
dos pais quanto ao meio de retenção a
utilizar.
Material e Métodos: Foi aplicado
um inquérito anónimo, de forma aleatória
a puérperas e seus cônjuges à data da
alta do RN.
Resultados: Obtiveram-se 102 inquéritos.
Apesar de 79% dos inquiridos
já terem obtido a cadeira adequada, apenas
43% planeava utilizá-la à data da alta
e só 19% demonstrou conhecer a forma
correcta de colocação da cadeira. Dos
36 inquiridos que tinham outros filhos, 23
(64%) transportavam-nos correctamente;
porém, só 6 (17%) planeavam transportar
o filho recém-nascido também de modo
adequado.
Conclusão: Os dados obtidos
mostram a necessidade da educação
dos pais e comunidade em geral sobre
o transporte em segurança de recém-nascidos
e crianças no automóvel, bem
como de intervenção no sentido de aumentar
a adesão dos pais às regras de
segurança rodoviária.
ABSTRACT Objective: Using the correct car restraint during motor transportation can prevent up to 90% of serious lesions in case of accident and especially in the newborn. The objective of this study was to know how the parents planned to transport their newborns from hospital to home and children in general. It was also designed to research factors affecting the parental decision. Population and methods: We applied an anonymous randomized inquiry to 102 parents in the post-delivery period. Results: Seventy nine percent of the parents had already acquired a car restraint; 43% intended to use it at the discharge; only 19% of the parents knew the correct way to use the car restraint. Thirty six couples had other children; they transported them in a safe way in 64% of the cases; only 17% knew how to restrain correctly the newborn. Conclusion: Our data point out the need to increase community knowledge of the effectiveness of appropriate child restraints in preventing death and injury and also to increase compliance of parents and children with correct car restraint use laws.
