Yüzme Havuzlarındaki Suda Boğulma Vakalarının İncelenmesi

Öz

Suda boğulma; sıvı bir ortam içerisinde batmadan/ dalmadan kaynaklanan solunum bozulması ile giden süreçler dizisi olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Suda boğulma günümüzde bir halk sağlığı problemidir. Ülkemizde her yıl yaklaşık olarak 1000’e yakın kişi boğulmaktadır. Bu boğulmaların bir kısmı yüzme havuzlarında meydana gelmektedir.  Araştırmanın amacı 2011-2016 yılları arasında meydana gelen havuzda boğulma vakalarının incelenmesidir. Bu araştırmada online arama motorlarında 1 Ocak 2011 ile 31 Aralık 2016 tarihleri arasında “havuzda boğuldu, havuza düştü boğuldu, suda boğuldu vb.” gibi anahtar kelimeler taranmış ve boğulma ile ilgili haberler günlük olarak toplanmıştır. Kazazedelerin kişisel bilgileri, havuz türleri, orada bulunma sebebi vb. gibi veriler kaydedilmiştir. Verilerin analizi SPSS 18.0 kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda havuzlarda boğulmaların en çok yaz aylarında meydana gelmiştir. Erkek bireylerin kadın bireylere oranla daha fazla boğulduğu tespit edilmiştir.
