Improving safety and minimising risk: parent, carer and service provider perspectives of sociocultural influences for medication use in young children.

在0-4岁年龄组中，儿童意外中毒是仅次于福尔斯的住院伤害原因。本研究的目的是探讨社会文化对幼儿的父母和照顾者使用药物的影响，并制定最佳实践指南，为医疗保健提供者提供药物信息。一个针对卫生保健提供者和消费者的多媒体教育方案将被纳入现有的卫生服务。结果将有助于确定儿童在药物管理不善的风险，并协助供应商实施严格和可持续的方法来提供照顾幼儿。

Childhood unintentional poisoning ranks second to falls as an injury cause of hospitalisation in the 0-4 years age group. The aims of this study are to explore the sociocultural influences on medication use by parents and carers of young children and develop best practice guidelines for provision of medication information by health care providers. A multimedia education program for health care providers and consumers will be integrated into existing health services. Results will aid in determining children at risk of medication mismanagement, and assist providers to implement a rigorous and sustainable approach to the provision of care to young children.
