Abstract

More than 2000 children die every day as a result of unintentional or accidental injuries. Worldwide every year tens of millions more are taken to hospitals with injuries that often leave them with lifelong disabilities, according to a report by World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF). The World report on child injury prevention provides the first comprehensive global assessment of unintentional childhood injuries and prescribes measures to prevent them. It concludes that if proven prevention measures were adopted everywhere at least 1000 children’s lives could be saved every day. The purpose of the gathering reported here is to summarize leading studies related to unintentional injuries of childhood that cause a great burden especially in middle and low income countries.

Abstract

Dünya Sağlık Örgütü ve Birleşmiş Milletler Çocuk Fonu’nun bir raporuna (2008) göre, her gün 2000’den fazla çocuk, kasıtsız ya da kaza ile yaralanmalar sonucu ölmekte ve dünya genelinde her yıl milyonlarca çocuk genellikle kendilerini yaşam boyu engelli bırakacak kaza ve yaralanmalar dolayısıyla hastaneye kaldırılmaktadır. Çocuk Yaralanmalarının Önlenmesi Dünya Raporu; Çocukluk döneminde meydana gelen kazalarla ilgili kapsamlı, ilk küresel değerlendirme niteliğindeki rapor olup, bu tür yaralanmaların önlenmesinin yollarına da atıfta bulunmaktadır. Raporda ulaşılan sonuca göre, her yerde etkisi kanıtlanmış önlemlere başvurulması halinde, her gün en az 1000 çocuğun yaşamı kurtarılabilir. Bu derleme ile özellikle düşük ve orta gelirli ülkelerde önemli bir yük oluşturan çocukluk dönemi kasıtsız yaralanmalarına yönelik öncül çalışmaların özetlenmesi amaçlanmaktadır.
