Çocuk Yaş Grubu Travma Olgularının Değerlendirilmesi ve Etkileyen Faktörlerin Belirlenmesi

Abstract

Objective: To evaluating of pediatric physical trauma cases

and determination of affecting factors.

Method: This study, which is descriptive type, applied to the

children aged 0-18 who had trauma and their parents who

accepted to participate to this study between September 2014

and June 2015 in the emergency service of Erzurum Regional

training and research hospital. For gathering data a Question

Form, Pediatric Trauma Scoring and Glaskow Coma Scale

were used. Acquired data was analyzed by percentage

distribution, average, variance, t- test and chi square. Ethic

principles were considered during the study.

Results: The average of trauma of the children was 7.95+3.18.

It was determined that those who are one year old or younger

(p<.05) and studying in primary or secondary schools (p<.05)

had major traumas and the level of trauma was affected by

their mother’s working conditions (p<.01) and father’s ages

(p<.05). It was also determined that children of nonworking

mothers (p<.01) and the fathers aged 23-35 (p<.05) had major

traumas significantly. The coma levels of the children who had

multiple traumas p<.001), trauma in chest p<.001), trauma

occurring from traffic accidents (p<.05), one year and younger

age (p <.001), do not go to school (p <.001), the only child in

the family (p <.01) were significantly lower. It was found out

that there was a positive strong relationship between children’s

coma and trauma levels.

Conclusion: It was determined that the children had serious

traumas at home, on the streets and at schools. Moreover, it

requires the interventions to alleviate the trauma seriousness

and to recover coma in parallel with recovery of the level of

trauma. It might have positive effects on this topic that

families, school managements and teachers are informed and

their awareness of taking protective measures to prevent

accidents are raised.
