ABSTRACT

Exploring the current status and influencing factors of drowning prevention awareness among parents of primary school students in Wenzhou City can help enhance their awareness of drowning safety. Using cluster random sampling, a questionnaire survey and data analysis were conducted on 369 parents of primary school students in Wenzhou city. Out of 369 parents of elementary school students, only 95 (25.75%) answered all 6 drowning prevention knowledge correctly, has there been any promotion of drowning prevention knowledge among them (χ2=17 98, P<0.01). Is there any water area on the child's way to school (χ2=12 97, P<0.01), whether drowning prevention knowledge is necessary (χ2=20 42, P<0.01), perceived distance to water around home (χ2=14.40, P<0.05), the frequency of children going to water alone (χ2=30.58, P<0.01), and whether children are educated to stay away from water (χ2=11.76, P<0.05) have a significant impact on the level of drowning safety awareness among parents of elementary school students. The drowning prevention safety level of parents of primary school students in Wenzhou needs to be further improved, which can be achieved through strengthening publicity and education, perceiving the dangers of the surrounding waters, and understanding whether their children go to the water alone.
