Abstract

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for injury prevention measures through the risk factors of injury occurrence by comprehending injury characteristics of the trauma patients visiting a regional emergency medical center according to distribution based on external causes and injury severity score. This study was analyzed using SPSS-Window(ver. 20.1) for 2585 trauma patients who visited a regional emergency medical center and the research period is for four months from 1st of September, 2019 to 31th of December, 2019. The following were the results of the research. First, it is shown from the analyzed data that the proportion of males (61.3%) is greater than that of females (38.7%) and the group aged from 20 to 50 had a significantly higher occurrence rate of injury but in terms of injury severity, 50 takes up the great proportion(P<.001). Second, roads and traffic areas (35.1%) were the highest in the place of occurrence of injury(P<.001). Third, the time of injury occurrence was as high as 12-18 hours(35.8%)(P<.001). Fourth, the injury part was highest in the head and face (55.4%)(P<.001). Fifth, the type of injury was higher in open wounds (31.2%)(P<.001). Therefore, it is required to establish detailed injury prevention policies according to the characteristics of injury severity.

본 연구는 광주지역 권역응급의료센터에 내원한 환자의 의료정보를 기초로 외상의 중등도별 특성 분석을 통한 손상발생의 위험요소를 파악하여 손상예방대책을 위한 보건예방정책 제언 및 기초 자료를 마련하는데 목적이 있다. 2019년 9월 1일부터12월 31일까지 4개월간 응급의료센터에 내원한 2585명의 환자를 대상으로 손상외인 관련성을 연구의 통계학적 분석을 위하여 SPSS-Window(ver. 20.1)프로그램을 이용하였다. 연구 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 응급의료센터에 내원한 손상 환자 중 전체 2585명 환자에서 성별은 남성(61.3%)이 여성(38.7%)보다 더 많았으며, 20대에서 50대까지의 연령층에서 발생률이 높았으며 중증도를 감안하면 50대(16.8%)의 연령층이 가장 많았다(P<.001). 둘째, 중등도에 따른 손상외인의 발생장소로는 도로 및 교통지역(35.1%)이 가장 높았다(P<.001). 셋째, 중등도에 따른 손상발생의 시간은 12-18시(35.8%)로 높았다(P<.001). 넷째, 중등도에 따른 손상부위는 두부 및 안면부(55.4%)에서 가장 높았다(P<.001). 다섯째, 중등도에 따른 손상 유형은 열린상처(31.2%)에서 높았다(P<.001). 향후 손상에 대한 지속적인 관심과 연구로 외상환자 등 중증도별 특성에 따라 구체적인 보건예방정책 수립이 요구된다.
