Abstract

Introduction: Since ancient times, it is believed that weather conditions have an impact on human behavior. The studies obtained different results because, this effect is a matter of debate retains the current popularity. Glass punching is a sudden, impulsive self-destructive behavior. In addition to weather conditions, it can be related to many underlying causes. This study was carried out to investigate the demographic features and related to weather conditions of patients who applied to the emergency department due to glass punching.Material and Methods: Our work was performed between 01 January 2013 and 31 December 2014. Patients who applied to emergency service due to glass punching were retrospectively investigated. Weather data are taken from the Turkish State Meteorological Service. Results: Sixty-nine patients were included in the study. Patients in the study group; 82.6 % (n=57) were male, 81.2% (n=56) were single, 27.5% (n=19) university students, 15.9% (n= 11) were unemployed, 73.9 % (n=51) the injury was dominant hand, 37.7% (n=26) of the blood alcohol test was positive, 14.5% (n=10) had a previously diagnosed psychiatric disorder. Conclusion: Punching glass related to many reasons. The development of this action can not be explained only by changes in weather conditions. However, it can be said that some patients are affected by changes in weather conditions, especially variables such as air temperature or pressure.

Özet

Giriş: Eski çağlardan beri hava koşullarının insan davranışları üzerinde etkisi olduğuna inanılmaktadır. Yapılan çalışmalarda elde edilen farklı sonuçlardan dolayı, bu etki halen popülerliğini koruyan bir tartışma konusudur. Cama yumruk atma eylemi, ani gelişen, dürtüsel bir kendine zarar verme davranışıdır; hava koşullarının yanında altta yatan birçok sebeple ilişkilendirilebilir. Bu çalışma cama yumruk atma sebebiyle acil servise başvuran hastaların demografik özelliklerini ve hava koşullarından etkilenip etkilenmediğini araştırmak amacıyla yapılmıştır.Gereç- Yöntem: Çalışmamız 01.Ocak.2013 ile 31.Aralık.2014 tarihleri arasında “Cama yumruk atma” eylemi sonucu acil servise başvuran hastalar üzerinde retrospektif olarak yapılmıştır. Hava koşullarına ait veriler Meteoroloji Genel Müdürlüğünden alınmıştır.Bulgular: Çalışmaya 69 hasta dahil edildi. Çalışma grubunun % 82.6’sı (n=57) erkek, % 81.2’si (n=56) bekar, % 27.5’si (n=19) üniversite öğrencisi, % 15.9’u (n=11) işsiz, %73.9’unda (n=51) yaralanma dominant elde, %37.7’sinin (n=26) kan alkol testi pozitif, %14.5’inde (n=10) ise önceden tanısı konmuş psikiyatrik hastalık mevcut idi. Cama yumruk atma sebebiyle başvuran hastaların olay günü veya olaydan bir gün önceki hava koşullarından etkilenmediği; ancak etiyolojik faktörlerin bir kısmının hava koşulları ile ilişkisi olduğu tespit edildi. Sonuç: Cama yumruk atma eylemi pek çok sebeple ilişkilidir. Bu eylemin gelişimi, yalnızca hava koşullarındaki değişikliklerle açıklanamaz. Ancak bazı olguların hava koşullarındaki değişikliklerden etkilendiği, özellikle hava sıcaklığı veya basınç gibi değişkenlerin bu eylemi tetiklediği söylenebilir.
