AMAÇBu çalışma, acil servise başvuran tekstil ve giyim sektörü çalışanlarında işle ilgili yaralanmaları araştırmak için yapıldı. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEMProspektif tasarlanan çalışmaya iki yıllık araştırma süresin-ce tekstil ve dokuma endüstrisinde çalışanların iş kazaları ile ilişkili başvurular alındı. Çalışma örnekleminde sadece iş yerinde ve fiilen çalışma sırasında olan yaralanmalar analiz edildi. BULGULARToplam 374 hasta çalışma kriterlerine uygun bulundu. Olguların büyük bölümünü kadınlar (%76,2, n=285), yaş dilimleri içinde ise 14-24 yaş arasındakiler oluşturdu (%44,7, n=167). Olguların yaklaşık üçte ikisi iş kazasına bağ-lı olarak ilk kez hastaneye başvurduğunu bildirdi (%65,8, n=246). İş kazaları en sık 07:00 ile 09.00 (%27,3) ve 23:00 ile 01:00 (%17,9) saatleri arasında oluştu. Hastalar kazaların nedenini en sık olarak dikkatsizlik ve acelecilik olarak bildirdi (sırasıyla, %40,6 ve %21,4). Hastaların yaklaşık dörtte üçü olay sırasında koruyucu malzeme kullandığını bildirdi (%74,3, n=278). Yaralanma tiplerine bakıl-dığında, kesi/batma/amputasyon/ avulsiyon yaralanmaları %55,6 (n=208) oranındaydı. En sık olarak üst ekstremite yaralanması (%75,1 n=281) görüldü. SONUÇÜlkemizde tekstil ve dokuma endüstrisinde çalışanların iş kazalarını bir bütün olarak tanımlamak için geniş, toplum tabanlı araştırmalara gereksinim vardır. Hızla gelişen bu sektörde iş kazalarının azaltılması için düzenlemeler yapıl-malıdır.Anahtar Sözcükler: Acil servis; mesleki yaralanmalar; tekstil sanayi; iş kazaları.

“…Almost half of the Vocational Education Centre students participating in our study reported that they were smokers. Various studies reported different smoking rates among young people in our country; 47% (high school students) and 67.5% (their peers, working but not studying adolescents) (18), 31.3% (students working while studying) (19), and 34% (adolescents) (17).…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyse the knowledge and attitudes about smoking in young people between 16-20 years of age, who were both working and attending the Vocational Education Centre.Methods: This study was conducted with high school students at the Vocational Education Centre. The socio-demographic questionnaire and the Fagerström Test of Nicotine Dependence (FTND) were applied to the students using a face-to-face interview technique. Secondly, interactive educations on smoking-free life and smoking-related diseases were given. At last, CO (carbon monoxide) levels and respiratory functions were evaluated.Results: Of the students 92.9% were males, 37.4% were 16 years, 35.8% were 17 years and 26.9% were 18-20 years old. Among 46.9% of smokers, 75.8% started smoking before 15 years of age, 86.1% were living with smokers. While 70.5% of smokers smoked more than 10 cigarettes daily, 61.3% smoked their first cigarette in the first half hour after waking up. Of the smokers, 28.8% were highly dependent, 13.0% were very highly dependent. CO levels were significantly higher in those who smoked in the workplace, who smoked mostly in the morning time, and those who started smoking at 7 years of age and younger (p < 0.05). FEV1, FVC, FEF25-75 values of morning smokers were significantly lower (p < 0.05).Conclusion: Unfortunately, the first smoking age was very low, the first cigarette of the day was lit in a short time after waking up, and family/ friend's attitudes and behaviours were encouraging in this age group. More attention should be paid to this issue and especially new preventive projects should be implemented to protect young people from smoking.
