Injuries are an important cause of morbidity during adolescence, but can be avoided through learning about some of their characteristics. This study aimed to identify the most frequent injuries among adolescents attended at an emergency service.
Retrospective descriptive study on adolescents attended at the emergency service of the Teaching Health Center, Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto (FMRP), between January 1, 2009, and September 30, 2009.
Age, sex, type of injury, site, day and time of occurrence, part of body involved, care received, whether the adolescent was accompanied at the time of injury and whether any type of counseling regarding injury prevention had been given were analyzed.
Among 180 adolescents attended, 106 (58.8%) were boys and 74 (41.1%) were girls. Their ages were: 10 to 12 (66/36.6%), 12 to 14 (60/33.3%) and 14 to 16 years (54/30%). The injuries had occurred in public places (47.7%) and at home (21.1%). The main types were bruises (45.1%) and falls (39.2%), involving upper limbs (46.1%), lower limbs (31%) and head/neck (13.1%). The injuries occurred in the afternoon (44.4%) and morning (30%), on Mondays (17.7%) and Thursdays (16.6%). Radiological examinations were performed on 53.8%. At the time of injury, 76.1% of the adolescents were accompanied. Some type of counseling about injury prevention had been received by 39.4%.
Although the injuries were of low severity, preventive attitudes need to be incorporated in order to reduce the risks and provide greater safety for adolescents.
伤害是青少年发病的一个重要原因，但通过了解其一些特征是可以避免的。本研究旨在确定在一家急救服务机构就诊的青少年中最常见的伤害类型。
对2009年1月1日至2009年9月30日期间在里贝朗普雷图医学院教学健康中心急救服务机构就诊的青少年进行回顾性描述性研究。
分析了年龄、性别、伤害类型、地点、发生的日期和时间、受累身体部位、接受的护理、青少年受伤时是否有人陪同以及是否接受过任何关于伤害预防的咨询。
在就诊的180名青少年中，106名（58.8%）为男孩，74名（41.1%）为女孩。他们的年龄分别为：10至12岁（66/36.6%）、12至14岁（60/33.3%）和14至16岁（54/30%）。伤害发生在公共场所（47.7%）和家中（21.1%）。主要类型为擦伤（45.1%）和跌倒（39.2%），累及上肢（46.1%）、下肢（31%）和头部/颈部（13.1%）。伤害发生在下午（44.4%）和上午（30%），周一（17.7%）和周四（16.6%）。53.8%的患者进行了放射学检查。受伤时，76.1%的青少年有人陪同。39.4%的青少年接受过某种形式的伤害预防咨询。
尽管这些伤害严重程度较低，但仍需采取预防措施，以降低风险，为青少年提供更高的安全性。
