Amaç: Acil servise delici çivi yaralanması ile başvuran hastaların demografik ve klinik özelliklerini incelendik. Riskli meslek grupları ve çalışma alanlarının yaralanma bölgesiyle olan ilişkisini araştırdık.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamız retrospektifti. 1 Ocak 2018-31 Aralık 2018 tarihleri arasında acil servise başvuran hastaların demografik ve klinik özellikleri, meslekleri, yaralanmanın gerçekleştiği alan ve yara yeri hasta dosyalarından kaydedildi. Ayak tabanı yaralanması 3 anatomik bölgeye ayrıldı. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistik ve ki-kare testi kullanıldı. İstatistiksel anlamlılık p<0.05 olarak belirlendi.
Bulgular: Çivi yaralanması olan 106 hasta çalışmaya alındı. Hastaların 79 (%74.5) erkekti ve yaş ortalaması 36,25±16,71 idi. Yaralanmanın gerçekleştiği alanlar en fazla kişisel bahçeler (%29,2) ve inşaat alanları (%29,2) idi. En yaygın meslek inşaat işçiliği idi (%29,2). Yaralanma yeri en çok ayak idi (%85,8). Ayak yaralanması en çok Bölge 1’de görüldü (%68).
Sonuç: Çiviye bağlı yaralanmalar en sık erkeklerde, orta yaş grubunda ve ayak bölgesinde görüldü. Ayak yaralanmaları en sık Bölge 1 idi.

Öz

Aim: We examined the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients who presented to the emergency department with nail-related injury. We investigated the relationship between the risky occupation and work areas and the injury site.
Method: Our work was retrospective. The patients who admitted to the emergency department between 1 January 2018 and 31 December 2018 were screened. Demographic and clinical characteristics, occupations, the area where the injury occurred and the wound site of the patients were recorded from the patient files. The foot injury was divided into 3 anatomical regions. Descriptive statistics and chi-square test were used for the analysis of the data. P value <0.005 was considered significant.
Results: We examined 106 cases with the nail-related injury.. The mean of ages was 36.25 ± 16.71 and 79 (74.5%) of 106 patients were male. The area was mostly personal gardens (29.2%) and construction site (29.2%). The most common occupation was construction work (29.2%). The wound site was mostly on the foot (85.8%). Zone 1 injury was the most common foot injury (68%).
Conclusion: The nail-related injuries were mostly common in men, in the middle-age and on the foot. The foot injuries were common in Zone 1.
