ResumoObjetivo Fazer um estudo observacional, por meio de campanhas, sobre o uso dos dispositivos de restri??o infantil em automóveis de Goiania. Métodos Estudo transversal por amostra de conveniência conforme surgimento dos casos. Os dados foram coletados em uma tabela Excel, analisados de forma descritiva e estatística (SPSS 16.0), com o uso do qui‐quadrado, com p 0,05 como significativo. Resultados Em 2006, foram avaliados 410 automóveis, enquanto que em 2010 foram avaliados 544, nos quais cerca de 85% das pessoas usavam o cinto de forma correta nos dois períodos (p = 0,650). Em 2006, foram observados 273 passageiros no banco dianteiro e em 2010, 226. Usavam cinto de seguran?a 178 e 170, respectivamente, ou 65,2 e 75,22% (p = 0,001). Em 2006, cinco crian?as ocupavam o banco da frente sem o uso do cinto de seguran?a. Em 2010, esse número foi de 42 (p 0,001). Em 2010, foram observados 458 veículos que transportavam crian?as no banco traseiro, 214 de maneira correta, ou 46,72%. Em 2006, dos 410 veículos analisados, apenas 90 (21,95%) transportavam crian?as de maneira correta (p 0,001). Além disso, houve diferen?a entre as variáveis dentro do ano avaliado, no qual o transporte correto no banco da frente foi bem mais frequente do que o no banco de trás, nos dois anos (p 0,001). Carros transportavam de uma a quatro crian?as e as vans, de uma a nove crian?as. Em 2006 foi observada uma van que transportava crian?as de maneira irregular, enquanto que em 2010 todas estavam corretas. Conclus?o Na compara??o desses dois períodos, podemos avaliar que houve um início de mudan?a no comportamento do motorista goianiense no que tange à seguran?a no transporte de crian?as em automóveis, com melhoria de 25% (p 0,001). Grande parte disso decorreu da mudan?a de atitude da popula??o após as campanhas feitas, até pela mídia, e da obrigatoriedade da lei. AbstractObjective To conduct an observational study, by means of campaigns, regarding the use of child restraint devices in cars in Goiania. Methods This was a cross‐sectional study using a convenience sample built up as cases arose. The data were gathered into an Excel spreadsheet and were analyzed descriptively and statistically (SPSS 16.0), using chi‐square and taking p 0.05 as significant. Results In 2006, 410 cars were evaluated, and in 2010, 544 cars were evaluated. Around 85% of the occupants were using seat belts correctly at both times (p = 0.650). In 2006, it was observed that a total of 273 passengers were occupying the rear seats, while in 2010 there were 226. Among these, 178 and 170 were using seat belts, respectively, i.e. 65.2% and 75.22% (p = 0.001). In 2006, five children were occupying the front seat without using the seat belt, while in 2010, this number was 42 (p 0.001). In 2010, it was observed that 458 vehicles were transporting children on the rear seats, and this was being done correctly in 214 vehicles, i.e. 46.72%. In 2006, out of the 410 vehicles analyzed, only 90 of them (21.95%) were transporting children correctly (p 0.001). In addition, there was a difference in the variables within the year evaluated, in which transportation done correctly in the front seat was much more frequent than transportation done correctly in the rear seats, in both years (p 0.001). Cars transported one to four children, while vans transported one to nine children. In 2006, one van transporting children irregularly was observed, while in 2010 it was done correctly in all cases. Conclusion Comparing these two years (2006 and 2010) in which data were gathered, we can conclude that changes in behavior among drivers in Goiania have begun, with regard to safety when transporting children in vehicles, with an improvement of 25% (p 0.001). A large part of this has come through changes in knowledge among this segment of the population, through campaigns that have been carried out, including through the media, and because of legal obligations.
