Abstract

In today’s conditions, amputations due to armed conflict have been doubled when compared to previous years. The main reason is the development of explosive technology and the increase at explosive use frequency. Treatment and rehabilitation stages becomes a more complicated process because of the addition of the psychiatric illnesses to the serious physical health problems which are accompanying the traumatic amputations. The presence of psychiatric disorders can lead to worsening of comorbid physical health problems or new health problems. On the other hand, smoking and alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, obesity and cardiovascular problems which are often accompanying the psychiatric symptoms, may adversely affect the treatment and rehabilitation process of amputated limb. For this reason, there is a need for the development of multidisciplinary, holistic monitoring and treatment protocols in the rehabilitation process of traumatic amputee soldiers whose number is gradually increasing. In this review, we aimed to present proposals about psychiatric management principles and solutions for early recognizing and treatment of psychiatric disorders that may occur in the process of physical rehabilitation of traumatic amputee soldiers.

Özet

Günümüz koşullarında silahlı çatışmalara bağlı olarak ortaya çıkan amputasyonlar geçmiş yıllarla karşılaştırıldığında iki katına çıkmıştır. Başlıca neden, çatışmalarda kullanılan patlayıcı maddelerin teknolojik gelişimi ve kullanım sıklığının artmasıdır. Travmatik ampütasyonlara eşlik eden bedensel sağlık sorunlarına sıklıkla psikiyatrik hastalık tabloların eklenmesiyle, tedavi ve rehabilitasyon aşamaları komplike bir sürece dönüşmektedir. Psikiyatrik hastalıkların varlığı, eşlik eden bedensel sağlık problemlerinin kötüleşmesine veya yeni sağlık sorunlarına yol açabilmaktadır. Öte yandan, psikiyatrik tablolara sıklıkla eşlik eden, sigara-alkol tüketimi, fiziksel hareketsizlik, obezite ve kardiyovasküler problemler ampute uzvun tedavi ve rehabilitasyon sürecini olumsuz etkilemektedir. Bu nedenle, sayıları giderek artış gösteren travmatik amputeli askerlerin rehabilitasyon sürecinde, multidisipliner, bütüncül takip ve tedavi protokollerinin geliştirilmesine ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu derlemede, travmatik amputeli askerlerin rehabilitasyon sürecinde ortaya çıkabilen sorunların çözümünde psikiyatrik yaklaşım prensipleri ile psikiyatrik hastalıkların erken tanınması ve tedavi edilmesine yönelik çözüm önerilerini sunmayı amaçlamaktayız.
