Artigo Científico Acesso embargado Avaliação das mudanças quanto à adequação do uso dos dispositivos de retenção infantil em automóveis na cidade de Florianópolis(2018) Klingelfus, Felipe SilvaObjective: The aim of this study was to analyze the adequacy changes in children transportation after 10 years of implementing the Resolution CONTRAN nº 277/08 and associated factors, in the city of Florianópolis / SC. Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was carried out through interviews with car drivers transporting children from zero to 14 years old in the city of Florianópolis / SC. Regarding the ideal transportation of the children, the adequacy or not, according to the Resolution CONTRAN nº 277/08, was analyzed. The information collected on these interviews was compared to data from a 2009 study. Differences in the occurrence of the outcome (adequate transport) according to the independent variables were tested using the chi-square test. Results: A total of 201 drivers, transporting children, were interviewed, with a mean of 1.07 children per car. The transport adequacy was found in 62.2% of cases. Mothers presented 65% of the transportation adequacy and fathers 63.5%. The drivers graduated in 2nd and 3rd grade had 62.8% and 66.6%, respectively. It was observed that 43.1% of the children were between 13 and 48 months old and that the transport was adequate in 77.5% of the vehicles in this same age group. Between 49 and 84 months old the transport was adequate in only 25.6% of the vehicles. The booster seat presented 86.7% of adequacy and the child safety seat 70.4%. As to the reason for inadequate transport, 36.1% of the drivers were not aware of the proper form of transportation; 11.1% knew, but did not find it important; and 13.9% knew, but did not have the financial condition to buy Child Retention Devices. Conclusion: The prevalence of transportation adequacy increased in the last decade in the city of Florianópolis. However, the lack of knowledge about Child Retention Devices still remains a determinant of inadequate transportation. Thus socio-educational measures, greater financial access to Child Retention Devices and the improvement of traffic safety policies should be encouraged.
