Abstract

Objectives To analyze the medico-social characteristics of acute alcohol poisoning in Bulgarian adolescents. Methods We studied patients under 18 years old with acute alcohol poisoning who were hospitalized during the period 2006-2008. Data were retrieved from hospital records. The initial blood ethanol level was measured by thin-layer chromatography. Psychiatric interview and inquiry methods were used. Results The study included 137 adolescents (77 boys, 60 girls) with an average age of 14.91±1.45 years. Blood ethanol level was over 2.00 mg/ mL in 40.2% of cases. Adolescents most often used one type of alcoholic beverage. First alcohol consumption was at the age of 12 years and 10 months (boys), and 13 years (girls). The most frequent reason for alcohol consumption was meeting with friends. It was found that 60% of the patients were the first-born child in the family. The patients’ preferred musical styles varied, and they preferred watching movies, mainly comedies for their free time (64.2%). The majority of the patients were raised in a family with more than one child (68.6%) and in non-separated families with both parents present (64%). The patients’ parents predominantly had a secondary-level education (79.7%) and both parents were employed in 53.3% of the cases. Conclusions The research concerns the important medico-social problem of alcohol poisoning among adolescents. Health professionals need to be able to identify adolescents who are experiencing difficulties with alcohol. Applying the methods of preventive medicine and clinical toxicology the results of this study indicate a certain social need for further information on the extent and character of the phenomena of adolescent alcohol use and abuse.

Özet

Amaç Çalışmanın amacı, Bulgar ergenlerinde görülen akut alkol zehirlenmelerinin mediko-sosyal özelliklerini analiz etmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem Çalışma kapsamında 2006-2008 yılları arasında akut alkol zehirlenmesi ile hastaneye yatırılan 18 yaş altındaki hastalarla çalışıldı. Çalışma verileri hastane kayıtlarından elde edildi. Başvuru anındaki kan alkol düzeyi ince tabaka kromatografi yöntemiyle ölçüldü. Hastalarla psikiyatrik görüşme ve bilgi alma yöntemi kullanıldı. Bulgular Çalışmaya 137 ergen (77 erkek, 60 kız) dahil edildi. Hastaların ortalama yaşı 14.91±1.45 olarak bulundu. Olguların %40.2’sinde kan alkol düzeyi 2.00 mg/mL değerinin üzerinde tespit edildi. Hastaların daha çok tek tür alkollü içecek tükettikleri belirlendi. İlk alkol tüketim yaşı erkeklerde 12 yaş 10 ay, kızlarda 13 yaş olarak saptandı. Alkol tüketimi için en sık bildirilen neden arkadaşlarla buluşmadır. Hastaların hoşlandıkları müzik türleri değişmekle birlikte boş zaman aktivitesi olarak film izlemek (genellikle komedi filmleri) belirtilmiştir (%64.2). Hastaların %60’ı ailelerinin ilk çocuklarıdır ancak büyük çoğunluğu ailede başka kardeşlerle (%68.6), ve anne-babanın bir arada olduğu ortamlarda (%64) büyümüştür. Hastaların ebeveynleri çoğunlukla ortaokul düzeyinde eğitimlidir (%79.7) ve her iki ebeveyn de çalışmaktadır (%53.3). Sonuç Araştırma sonuçları Bulgar ergenler arasında görülen akut alkol zehirlenmelerine ilişkin önemli mediko-sosyal problemleri ortaya koymaktadır. Sağlık profesyonellerinin alkolle sorunları olan ergenleri tespit edebilmeleri gereklidir. Koruyucu tıp ve klinik toksikoloji yöntemleri uygulandığında bu çalışmanın sonuçları, ergenlerde alkol kullanımı ve kötüye kullanımı fenomeninin yaygınlığı ve karakteristik özellikleri hakkında daha fazla bilgi edinmeye ihtiyaç olduğunu göstermektedir.
