Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine what education and training pediatric nurse practitioners receive about injury prevention and control and what kinds of clinical activities PNPs perform with regard to injury prevention and control. Sixty-four members of the Greater New York Chapter of the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Associates and Practitioners were questioned. Data on demographic, professional, and practice characteristics and on education and training and clinical activities in injury prevention and control were collected. Results indicated that advice about child car restraints and automobile seat belts was routinely given by less than 30% of practitioners, information about smoke detectors was given by about 15%, and advice about firearms in the home was given by 7% or less. Implications for counseling to prevent injuries are discussed.
