ÖZET
Amaç: Bu çalışmada acil servise iş kazası olarak başvuran olguların analizi yapılarak son zamanlarda sıkça gündeme gelen iş kazaları konusunda güncel verilere ulaşılması amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve yöntem: Retrospektif nitelikte olan çalışmada acil servise başvuran tüm yaş gruplarındaki iş kazası olgularının verileri analiz edilmiştir. Ancak trafik kazaları ve gıda zehirlenmeleri değerlendirmeye alınmamıştır. İki grup arasında kategorik değişkenlerin karşılaştırılması ki kare testi ile değerlendirilmiştir.
Bulgular: Bu çalışmada 1855 vaka değerlendirilmiştir. Vakaların 1768’i (%95,3) erkek, 87’si (%4,7) kadındı. Yaş ortalaması 32.81 ± 9.30 yıldı. En çok müracaat %37,7 oran ile 25-34 yaş grubunda saptanmıştır. En çok vaka %18,3 oranla pazartesi günü ve çalışma saatleri içerisinde ise %42,5 oranında 12:00-18:00 saatleri arasında görüldü. En fazla iş kazası metal ve makine sektöründe (%37,7) görüldü. Kaza geçirenlerin yarıdan fazlası (%52,5) aynı iş yerinde bir yıl ve daha az zamandır çalışanlardan oluşmuştur. Yaralanma mekanizmalarından en fazla cisim çarpması (%28,1) görülmüş olup en çok yumuşak doku hasarı (%46,7) görüldü. Vakaların %96,9'u ayaktan tedavi edilerek taburcu edilmiştir. Toplamda üç hasta ölümle sonuçlanmıştır (%0,2).
Sonuç: Vakaların çoğunluğu metal ve makine sektöründe görülmekte ve ölümlü iş kazalarının ise büyük bir kısmı inşaat sektöründe görülmektedir. Yaralanmaların büyük kısmı mesleki tecrübesi bir yıl ve altında olanlarda görülmüştür.
