Özet
Amaç: Bu araştırma acil servise başvuran 0-6 yaş çocuk travmalarında travmaların cinsi, sıklığı, çocuktaki fiziksel etkilerinin incelenmesi amacıyla retrospektif olarak yapıldı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırma Ocak 2014-Ocak 2017 tarihleri arasında acil serviste travma nedeniyle izlenen 0-6 yaş grubu 1237 çocuğun acil servis kayıt defteri, hekim-hemşire izlem formlarının araştırmacı tarafından hazırlanan “Veri Toplama Formu” kullanılarak retrospektif olarak yapıldı. Araştırmada elde edilen veriler SPSS 21.0 programı kullanılarak analiz edildi. Bulgular: Araştırmaya dahil edilen çocukların %57,2’si erkek, %35,7’si 0-1 yaş grubunda olduğu belirlendi. Hastaların %48,7’si kendi mesafesinden düşme, %13,6’sı çarpma, %13,4’ü yüksekten düşme nedeni ile acile başvurmuştur. Çocukların %67,4’ünün baş boyun yaralanması, %28,9’unun ekstremite yaralanmasıyla acile getirildikleri saptanmıştır. Çocukların yaş gruplarına göre acile başvuru nedenlerine bakıldığında; 0-12 aylık bebeklerin en sık yüksekten düşme; 13-36 aylık çocukların kolunun çekilmesi ve göze kulağa buruna yabancı cisim kaçması; 37-72 aylık çocukların daha sık çarpma, sıkışma ve burkulma olduğu belirlendi (p
