研究表明，母亲的监督可以保护孩子免受伤害。然而，很少有研究调查父亲的监督在孩子受伤中所起的作用。目的利用母亲报告，比较母亲和父亲监护在儿童伤害风险和严重程度中的作用。方法对170名幼儿母亲进行为期6个月的访谈，了解幼儿意外伤害情况。结果由父亲照顾的孩子更有可能进行高水平的运动，受伤的风险也更高。虽然较高的监督预示着母亲和父亲的伤害风险较低，但父亲的密切监督（由母亲报告）比母亲的监督更能预测伤害风险。结论：在父亲的照料下，儿童较高的运动水平可能是其受伤风险较高的原因。这些发现表明，有必要将父亲纳入伤害预防工作中。
Research indicates that mothers' supervision protects children from injuries. However, little research has examined the role of fathers' supervision in children's injuries. Objectives This study compared the role of maternal and paternal supervision in children's injury risk and severity using maternal reports. Methods Mothers (n = 170) of toddlers were interviewed for 6 months about their children's unintentional injuries. Results Children were more likely to engage in high activity levels and were at higher risk for injury when being cared for by their fathers. Although higher supervision predicted lower injury risk for both mothers and fathers, fathers' close supervision (as reported by mothers) was a stronger predictor of injury risk than mothers' supervision. Conclusion Children's higher levels of activities may have accounted for their higher risk of injury when in their fathers' care. These findings indicate the need to include fathers in injury prevention efforts.
