Özet
Öz Amaç: Yabancı cisim aspirasyonları (YCA); hava yollarının tıkanıklığı ile birlikte ortaya çıkan hayatı tehdit eden acil bir durumdur. Bu çalışma ile çocukların sürekli bakımlarını üstlenen annelerin çocukluk yaş grubunda ciddi sonuçlar doğurabilen YCA konusundaki bilgi düzeylerini ölçmeyi ve cevaplardan bağımsız olarak anneleri bilgilendirmeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 6 ay ile 5 yaş arasında çocuğu olan 1034 anne dahil edildi. Katılımcılara sosyodemografik özellikleri, YCA ile ilgili bilgileri soruldu. Bulgular: Çoğunlukla anneler; 21-30 yaş arasında (%48.94), ilköğretim mezunu (%34.62), ev hanımı (%66.05) idi. Aileler genelde 2-3 çocuğa sahip idi. Annelerin çoğu (%65.73) hayatlarında hiç YCA olan çocuk görmemişlerdi. Eğitim düzeylerine bağlı tüm gruplarda, en sık YCA görünen yaş grubu için 1-3 yaş seçeneği, en fazla üniversite mezunu katılımcılar (%66.19) tarafından işaretlenmişti. Eğitim düzeyi arttıkça YCA’nın ölümcül olabileceği, koruyucu önlemlerin bütünlüğü, ilk müdahalenin önemi ve müdahalede doğru bilginin kaynağı konularında farkındalığın arttığı gözlendi. Katılımcıların çoğu (%72.74) YCA ile karşılaştıklarında acil servise başvuracaklarını belirtmişti. Sonuç: YCA’nın yol açacağı morbidite ve mortalitenin engellemesinde en önemli basamak önlenmesidir. Önlemenin de en kolay yolu toplumun bilinçlendirilmesi ve eğitilmesinden geçer.
Abstract Aim: Foreign body aspiration (FBA) is a life-threatening emergency that causes airway obstruction. This study aims to investigate the amount of awareness there is about the life-threatening emergency FBA among Turkish mothers who are full-time carers of their children, and to provide these mothers with information regardless of their answers. Material and Method: 1034 mothers with children between 6 months and 5 years old were included in the study. Participants were asked to provide their sociodemographic information and to answer questions about FBA. Results: The majority of the mothers were aged between 21–30 years old (48.94%), primary school graduates (34.62%), and housewives (66.05%). The families had two to three children in general. Most of the mothers (65.73%) had not seen a child experiencing FBA. If we compared the mothers according to level of education, “1–3 years” was mostly selected by the university graduates (66.19%) as the age group in which FBA was most prevalent. As the level of education increased, the awareness regarding FBA’s potential lethality, the importance of preventive measures, the importance of first response, and sources for correct information on how to intervene were seen to increased. While most of the participants (72.74%) stated that they would take the child to the emergency room in the event of FBA. Conclusion: The most important step in reducing the morbidity and mortality of FBA is prevention. The easiest way to prevention is education of parents and the raising of public awareness.
