N2  - OBJECTIVE: We wanted to primarily examine the knowledge, attitudes and behaviour of parents and health workers (community nurses and paediatricians) regarding child injuries in order to understand the essence of the problem and to find out the most common misconceptions. <br><br>METHODS: Respondents were tested through an anonymous, self-administered questionnaire and all p values below 0.05 were considered significant. <br><br>RESULTS: Of all respondents, paediatricians answered accurately most of the questions considering knowledge than the other groups. More than 90% of respondents, in all groups, identified correct answers to 10 questions about attitudes towards child injury prevention and safety promotion. <br><br>CONCLUSION: This study, which shows the current level of knowledge, attitudes and behaviour patterns of parents and health professionals in Croatia, could help in the preparation of appropriate prevention programmes.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
