Abstract

Objective: To assess the incidence rate of accidents and injuries (AI), analyze the characteristics, causes, and factors related to AI among the people in Pom Lót and Thanh Minh communes, Dien Bien Province, in 2024. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study with a sample of 406 households, consisting of 199 households from Pom Lót commune and 207 households from Thanh Minh commune, totaling 1,656 individuals. Data was collected through questionnaires and direct interviews. Information on the incidence rate, characteristics, causes, and contributing factors of accidents was analyzed using medical statistics software. Results: The injury accident rate in the two communes was 13.9%, with Pom Lót having a higher rate (15.0%). The main causes of injury accidents included falls (28.1%), traffic accidents (27.2%), and occupational accidents (15.4%). Notably, the primary causes were unintentional injuries caused by oneself (66.7%) and by others (24.5%). Most accidents occurred at home (28.1%) and in public places (32.9%). The male population had a higher incidence of accidents (62.7%) compared to females (37.2%). Conclusion: The study highlights that the incidence of injury accidents in Pom Lót and Thanh Minh communes remains high, with household and traffic accidents being the primary causes. Preventive measures, awareness campaigns, and improvements in safety conditions for the public, especially for males and the age group 26-60, are needed.
