“…In regards to overall gender distribution of injuries, we found that males were more involved that females. This pattern of injuries among males and female children have also been reported by other researchers in Africa [4,8,12,13] and other continents [3,7,15] What is more interesting is the peculiarity of some home accidents among boys and girls. In our study, while girls were significantly more involved in burns injuries, probably, as a result of their participation in domestic chores like cooking, boys on the other hand, were more involved with accidental ingestion of poisonous substances and animal bites, probably as a result of lesser participation in cooking and kitchen chores making them free to explore other parts of their homes.…”

“…For example, the safety of residential buildings could be different. In addition, parenting skills and child care practices in protecting children against injuries at home are also different and play a role in the incidence and severity of domestic injuries [14,15] Unfortunately, none of these studies addressed the risk factors for domestic injuries and their roles in the prevalence of domestic injuries.…”

Background: Unintentional injuries occurring in or within the vicinity of the home resulting in temporary or permanent health impairment are largely preventable. However, they are contributors to childhood morbidity and could lead to mortality in severe cases. Objectives: This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence, pattern and outcome of domestic injuries among children admitted into the Children’s Emergency Room (CHER) in Rivers State University Teaching Hospital (RSUTH). Methods: This was a 5-year retrospective study of 179 children with domestic injuries admitted into the children’s emergency unit from January 2017 to December 2021. Data on socio-demographic characteristics, cause, type and outcome of domestic injuries were collected from their medical records and analyzed with SPSS version 23. Results: A total of 3987 children aged < 18 years were admitted into CHER. Out of these, 179 (4.48%) children had injuries from domestic accidents. Majority of them 89 (46.9%) were under-fives and males 108 (60.3%). Three commonest causes of home accidents were falls 52 (29.1%), burns 44 (24.6%) and mechanical trauma 32 (17.8%). Common domestic injuries observed in the study were burns (24.6%), head injuries (20.7%), ingestion of poisonous substances (13.4%) and lacerations (11.7%). Burns injuries were significantly more prevalent among females and poisoning among males. Incidents of poisoning was significantly more prevalent among under-fives (21.4%) and animal bites (13.7%) among older children, (p value < 0.05). The mean duration of admission in the emergency room was 1.27 ± 1.90 days. Three children (1.7%) died in the emergency room and all mortalities occurred within 48 hours of admission. Conclusion: Although the prevalence of domestic injuries among children in this study was low, parents, caregivers and the government can institute measures to further curb its incidence.

The purpose of the current study was to examine Japanese preservice professionals’ socialization experiences while working with mothers and infants during midwifery practicum experiences. This study utilized an interpretive case study research design (Merriam, Sharan B. 1998. Qualitative research and case study applications in education. San Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass). Data were collected from reflective journals (Janesick, Valerie. 1999. A journal about journaling: Writing as a qualitative research technique history issues and reflections. Qualitative Inquiry 5(4). 505–524) and electric portfolios. Participants were ten female students enrolled in a midwifery certification program at one private university located in central Tokyo in Japan. A constant comparative analysis method was used to interpret the data, with four themes emerging from the data: (a) struggling to make decisions related to lesson procedures, (b) adjusting lesson content to meet mothers’ and infants’ unique needs, (c) paying less attention to partners’ roles and responsibilities, and (d) applying knowledge and skills to future midwifery settings. Results indicated that the preservice professionals struggled to prepare and plan lessons and activities in a timely manner, and had the challenge of modifying activities based on the infant’s unexpected and unpredictable behaviors. However, the preservice professionals believed that the practicum course was beneficial for their professional learning and development, and applicable to various educational and professional settings. In order to advance the quality of practicum experiences in the midwifery program, instructors, department chairs, and researchers need clear and focused goals related to the status, quality, and relevance of the midwifery program mission and curricula. Due to the paucity of research in this area, it is essential to further explore these issues in Japan.
