Abstract

This study aims at knowing the behaviour of the family facing the home accidents among children, identifying the risk factors in the home environment, in the family's perception and analysing the socioeconomic-cultural context contributing to the occurrence of children's home accident. The work was made in a family that had experienced a case of poisoning of a 4 year-old child. Participant observation and the semi-structured interview were used as methodology. The results evidenced that the family constantly lives among children's home accidents and the socioeconomic-cultural context has a strong influence in the amount and quality of these cases.
