Abstract

The research carried out on the Prevention of Home Accidents in School Children at the "Padre Lobato" School in the parish of Yaruquíes was an observational cross-sectional study. Nearly two million children suffer from home-based accidents in all countries of the world. Knowing these risks is fundamental to being able to act in the most appropriate way since it is among one of the leading causes of death in minors. These figures reveal that the home as well as the street, can also become a dangerous environment if not taken care of. "An accident begins before it happens and ends much later, sometimes lasts a lifetime because it causes the death of someone and others because it is a reason for severe and permanent disabilities that affect the victim and his environment."
