As a protective measure to slow down the transmission of coronavirus disease 2019 in Korea, social distancing was implemented from February 29, 2020. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of domestic incidents and intentional injury during March 2020 when social distancing was in effect.
There were 12,638 patients who visited the Level 1 trauma center of Chungnam province with injuries from domestic incidents, familial discord, and intentional injury. The prevalence of injuries during March 2020 was compared with the average of the previous 5 years, and the average for every March between 2015 and 2019.
The prevalence of domestic incidents in March 2020 was significantly higher than the 5-year average, and the average for every March from 2015 to 2019 ( < 0.001). Familial discord ( = 0.002) and intentional injury ( = 0.031) were more frequently observed in March 2020. Adolescents showed a markedly higher level of intentional injury in March 2020 than in both the 5-year average ( = 0.031), and average for every March over the previous 5 years ( = 0.037).
The prevalence of domestic incidents and intentional injury were significantly higher during the period of social distancing in Korea. There is a need for social consensus, better policies, and psychological support services, especially if faced with a second or third wave of coronavirus disease.
作为韩国减缓2019冠状病毒病传播的一项保护措施，自2020年2月29日起实施了社交距离措施。本研究旨在评估2020年3月社交距离措施生效期间家庭事件和故意伤害的发生率。
有12638名因家庭事件、家庭不和及故意伤害受伤的患者前往忠南省一级创伤中心就诊。将2020年3月的受伤发生率与前5年的平均值以及2015年至2019年期间每年3月的平均值进行比较。
2020年3月家庭事件的发生率显著高于5年平均值以及2015年至2019年期间每年3月的平均值（<0.001）。2020年3月更频繁地观察到家庭不和（=0.002）和故意伤害（=0.031）。青少年在2020年3月的故意伤害水平明显高于5年平均值（=0.031）以及前5年每年3月的平均值（=0.037）。
韩国社交距离措施实施期间，家庭事件和故意伤害的发生率显著更高。需要社会达成共识、制定更好的政策以及提供心理支持服务，尤其是在面对第二波或第三波冠状病毒病时。
