Abstract

GİRİŞ: Yanık tedavi merkezlerinde her
yıl tedavi edilen yanık vakalarının çoğunluğu çocuk hastalar oluşturmaktadır.
Ancak yapılan çalışmalar çocuklara doğru ilk yardım müdahalesinde
bulunulmadığını göstermektedir.  Araştırma
yanık tedavisi gören çocukların annelerinin yanık sonrası uyguladıkları ilk
yardım müdahalesi ve bilgisini belirlemek amacı ile tanımlayıcı olarak yapıldı.

GEREÇ
VE YÖNTEM: Çalışmaya
bir devlet hastanesinin yanık ünitesinde tedavi gören 0-16 yaş arası 60 çocuk
ve annesi alındı. Veriler yanık
kliniğinde Tanıtıcı Bilgiler ve Yanıkta İlk Yardım Bilgisi Formu kullanılarak
yüz yüze görüşme tekniği ile toplandı. Veriler yüzdelik dağılımlar, ortalama ve
ki kare testi kullanılarak değerlendirildi.

BULGULAR:
Annelerin %70’inin yanıkta ilkyardım konusunda bilgi almadığı ve bilgi
düzeylerinin yeterli olmadığı, yanıkta ilk yardım müdahalesi olarak yanık
bölgesine su (%53.3), yoğurt, yanık merhemi (%6.7), buz (%5.5), zeytinyağı, diş
macunu (%3.3) uyguladığı, %18.3’ünün hiçbir uygulama yapmadan hastaneye
götürdüğü saptandı. Çocukların %41.7’sinde yanık yarası ile ilişkili problem
geliştiği, en sık gelişen problemin geç iyileşme (%68) olduğu belirlendi. Yanık
ile ilişkili problem gelişme oranı ilk yardım
müdahalesi olarak yanık bölgesini akan suya tutan ve ilk yardım konusunda bilgisi
olan annelerin çocuklarında istatistiksel açıdan önemli düzeyde daha düşüktü.

SONUÇ: Annelerin ilk yardım konusunda
bilgi düzeyleri ve doğru ilkyardım müdahalesi uygulama oranlarının yetersiz,
yanık yarasına ilk yardım müdahalesi olarak sadece su uygulanmasının yanık yarasının
iyileşmesinde önemli etkiye sahip olduğu belirlendi. Çalışmadan elde edilen bu
bulgulara göre, aile, okul, hastane ve topluma dayalı yanıkta doğru ve yanlış ilkyardım
uygulamalarını içeren farkındalık programları geliştirilmesi önerilmektedir.

First Aid Intervention and Knowledge Applied By Mothers of Children with Burn

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Most of burn cases treated at burn treatment centers each year are pediatric patients. However, studies show that children with burns are not treated with correct first aid intervention. The study was carried out as a descriptive study to determine the first aid intervention and knowledge of the mothers of the children who were treated with burns.

MATERIAL and METHOD:  Sixty children between the ages of 0-16 who were treated at a state hospital's burn unit and their mothers were included to the study. The data were collected by face-to-face interview technique by using Introductory Information and First Aid Knowledge Form. Data were evaluated using percentage distributions, means and chi-square test. 

RESULTS: It was found that 70% of mothers did not receive information about first aid in burns and that their knowledge levels were low, Overall, mothers treated burns with water (53.3%), yoghurt and burn oinment (6.7%) ice (5.5%), olive oil (3.3%) and toothpaste, 18.3% took children to hospital without any application. It was determined that the problem associated with the burn wound occurred  


in 41.7% of the children and the most common problem was delayed wound healing.  The rates of problem development were statistically significantly lower in the children of mother who treated burns with running water and who have knowledge about first aid for burns. 

CONCLUSION: It was determined that mothers' knowledge about first aid in burn and rate of  correct and effective first aid intervention were low, only water application as a first aid intervention to the burn wound had a significant effect on the healing of the burn wound. According to these findings, it is recommended that awareness programmes that include right and wrong first aid applications in family, school, hospital and community settings should be developed for first aid interventions.
