Abstract:

Objective〓〖WTBZ〗To explore the risk and protective factors of injuries among college students.〖WTHZ〗 Methods〓〖WTBZ〗A total of 1929 students were investigated by cluster sampling, 280 students with injuries in 2006 served as the experimental group and 280 1∶1 matched students without injuries served as the control group. The 280 students without injury as controls were randomly selected by the same gender, age, department and nation as students with injuries. Data were analyzed by conditional univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. 〖WTHZ〗Results〓〖WTBZ〗The incidence ratio of injury in college students was 14.52％, and that of fall／collision injury was the highest (40.71％). non-only child, father with low education and high nervous latitude score were risk factors and the OR values were respectively 1.718(95％CI:1.252～2.357), 1.282 (95％CI:1.055～1.568) and 1.121(95％CI:1.087～1.156), and maternal occupation and low latitude stability score were protective factors and the OR values were 0.732 (95％CI:0.619～0.865) and 0.975(95％CI:0.954～0.997). 〖WTHZ〗Conclusion〓〖WTBZ〗College policy-makers should develop effective measurements to reduce health-risk behaviors with family and society and promote students′ self-protective consciousness.
