OBJECTIVE: To identify conceptualizations of knowing how to swim and to analyze the evidence indicating whether \"knowing how to swim\" may be a protective or a risk factor for unintentional drowning in children aged 10 to 14 years.
METHODS: A systematic review of observational etiology studies was conducted, considering original peer-reviewed research published up to the year 2020. Databases including PubMed, Cochrane Central, Tripdatabase, Science Direct, Epistemonikos, Bvs and Bireme were searched for studies associating swimming skills as a risk or a protective factor for drowning (10-14 years). Study quality was assessed, and quantitative data were synthesized (without performing a meta-analysis).
RESULTS: A total of 6,508 results were identified, with only 6 studies meeting the criteria for inclusion in the final cohort. It was evidenced that the exclusive possession of swimming skills, without a concurrent understanding of water safety, is associated with increased exposure to aquatic environments. Consequently, this may increase the risk of drowning.
CONCLUSIONS: Among children aged 10 to 14 years, there is insufficient evidence regarding whether knowing how to swim serves as a protective factor against drowning compared to not knowing how to swim.
CONCLUSIONS: The insufficiency of evidence and a lack of consensus in the conceptualization of swimming as a form of knowledge underscores the need for further research. Such research is crucial for informing investments in drowning prevention interventions, particularly during early adolescence.
目的:确定知道如何游泳的概念,并分析表明“知道如何游泳”是否可能是10至14岁儿童意外溺水的保护或危险因素的证据。
方法:对观察性病因学研究进行了系统综述,考虑到2020年之前发表的原始同行评审研究。包括PubMed在内的数据库,CochraneCentral,Tripdatabase,科学直接,认识论,搜索了Bvs和Bireme,以进行将游泳技能作为溺水风险或保护因素(10-14年)的研究。评估研究质量,并合成定量数据(不进行荟萃分析).
结果:总共确定了6,508个结果,只有6项研究符合纳入最终队列的标准。事实证明,游泳技能的独家拥有,如果不同时了解水安全,与增加对水生环境的暴露有关。因此,这可能会增加溺水的风险。
结论:在10至14岁的儿童中,没有足够的证据表明,与不知道如何游泳相比,知道如何游泳是否是防止溺水的保护因素。
结论:在将游泳作为一种知识的概念化方面,证据不足和缺乏共识强调了进一步研究的必要性。这样的研究对于告知溺水预防干预措施的投资至关重要,特别是在青春期早期。
