Özet:

 Aim: Childhood burns caused by parentalcaregiver safety neglect is an important public health problem that plays an importatnt role in childhood morbidity and mortality. In this study, we aimed to investigate the descriptive characteristics of children who presented to the emergency department with burns injuries caused by safety negligence. Method: Our study was conducted with a total of 122 burn patients aged 7 years who applied to Aksaray Training and Research Hospital Pediatric Emergency Department between 01.01.2020 and 31.12.2023. Sociodemographic and burn-related information were obtained by questionnaires questionnaire application and retrospective review of patient files. Results: Of the burns, 84.4 n103 occurred inside the house and 15.6 n19 occurred outside the house. Of the burns at home, 45.1 n55 occurred in the living roomliving room and 29.5 n36 occurred in the kitchen. Burns due to spillage of hot liquids such as water and soup were 49.2 n60; burns due to contact with stove or iron were 12.3 n15; burns due to spillage during tea and coffee drinking were 20.5 n25. In 72.1 n88 of the children, the burn occurred between 12.00-21.50 hours. The most common cause of burns in children under three years of age was scald burns caused by spilling hot liquids on them, while the most common causes of burns in children over five years of age were playing with fire and burns caused by electric shock p0.005. Conclusion: Parents should pay more attention to scald burns in children under three years of age. Mothers should pay attention to neglect of monitoring during the hours when they are more active and busy at home. Parental education and awareness should be provided to reduce the incidence of burns.

 Amaç: Ebeveynbakıcı güvenlik ihmalinden kaynaklanan çocukluk çağı yanıkları, çocukluk çağı morbidite ve mortalitesinde rol oynayan önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Bu çalışmada, güvenlik ihmali sonucu oluşan yanık yaralanması nedeniyle acil servise başvuran çocukların tanımlayıcı özelliklerini araştırmayı amaçladık. Yöntem: Çalışmamız 01.01.2020 ile 31.12.2023 tarihleri arasında Aksaray Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Çocuk Acil Servisine başvuran yedi yaş altı toplam 122 yanık hastası ile yürütüldü. Sosyodemografik özellikler ve yanıkla ilgili bilgiler anket uygulamasıyla ve hasta dosyalarının geriye dönük taranmasıyla elde edildi. Bulgular: Yanıkların 84.4ü n103 ev içinde, 15.6sı n19 ev dışında meydana gelmiş idi. Evdeki yanıkların 45.1i n55 oturma odasındasalonda ve 29.5i n36 mutfakta meydana gelmiş idi. Su, çorba gibi sıcak sıvı dökülmesine bağlı yanıklar 49.2 n60; soba veya ütü temasına bağlı yanıklar 12.3 n15; çay ve kahve içimi sırasında dökülme sonucu yanıklar 20.5 n25 sıklıkta saptandı. Çocukların 72.1inde n88 yanığın 12.00-21.50 saatleri arasında gerçekleştiği görüldü. Üç yaş altı çocuklarda en sık görülen yanık nedeni üzerlerine sıcak sıvı dökülmesi sonucu oluşan haşlanma yanıkları iken, beş yaş üstü çocuklarda en sık ateşle oynama ve elektrik çarpması sonucu oluşan yanıklar tespit edildi p0.005. Sonuç: Ebeveynler üç yaş altı çocuklarda haşlanma yanıkları konusunda daha dikkatli olmalıdır. Anneler, evde daha aktif ve yoğun çalıştıkları saatlerde gözetim ihmali durumuna dikkat etmelidir. Yanıkların görülme sıklığını azaltmak için ebeveyn eğitimi ve farkındalığı sağlanmalıdır.
