Savaş, Yanık ve Çocuk: Suriye Savaşının Hastanemiz Yanık Ünitesine Yansımaları

İç savaşlar inanılmaz tahribata yol açmakta olup, çoğunlukla sivilleri etkilemektedir. Yıkımın etkisi çocuklar ve kadınlar için daha belirgindir. Bu çatışmalar ise mülteci sorunu olarak ortaya çıkar. Mülteciler kaybedecek bir şeyi olmayan ve geri dönmemek üzere evlerini terk edenlerdir. Savaşın bu sivil etkisi bölgenin merkezinde daha yoğun hissedilmekle beraber bölgeden uzaklaşan siviller için de başka farklı sorunlar ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Suriye’deki iç savaş nedeniyle 400000’den fazla insan yaşamını yitirmiş, yaklaşık 6,5 milyon kişi evden ayrılmak zorunda kalmıştır. Türkiye, çoğu sınır kamplarında yaşayan 4 milyon mülteciye ev sahipliği yapan en başta gelen ülkedir. Türkiye’deki Suriyeli mülteciler ise yeterli yiyeceğe ulaşamama, uygunsuz barınak, kötü hijyen konularında sıkıntı yaşamaktadırlar. Pek çok ülkede, başta çocuklar olmak üzere mültecilerin yerel halktan daha ciddi sağlık sorunları yaşadığı ve daha sık travmaya maruz kaldıkları ve bu nedenle acil servisleri daha sık kullandıkları bildirilmiştir. Travmaların içinde yanık en ciddi olanlarından biridir. Hastanemizin yanık ünitesi her yıl yüzlerce Suriyeli çocuk, kadın ve erkeğe tedavi sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışmamızda hastanemiz yanık biriminde tedavi gören Suriyeli mültecilerin demografik verilerini, klinik durumlarını ve tedavi yöntemlerini incelemeyi amaçladık

War, Burns and Children: The Reflections of Syrian War on our Hospital’s Burn Unit

Civil wars, civil strife due to civil uprising cause irreparable destruction and affect mostly civilians. The impact of destruction is more pronounced for children, seniors and women who need adults for their needs. These conflicts emerge as a refugee problem. Refugees consist of people who have nothing to lose, and often permanently leave their country. While the influence of war resulting from civilian influx is felt more intensely in the regions near the war zone, further problems arise later on for civilians who could move away from the war zone. Due to the civil war in Syria, more than 400 thousand people have lost their lives and approximately 6.5 million people have had to leave their homes and become refugees. According to the United Nations Refugee Agency’s data, Turkey has become a country hosting the largest number of refugees. Turkey, with almost 4 million refugees, is home to the largest Syrian refugee population and most of the refugees live at the camps near the borders. The number of Syrians babies only, who have been born in Turkey is close to 180 thousand. Syrian refugees in Turkey, who have quite large families face problems such as lack of access to sufficient food, inappropriate housing, living in narrow and single room houses and bad hygiene. The group that mostly affected by these problems consists of children. It is reported that, in many countries of the world, all refugees, especially children, have more serious health problems than the local population has and are exposed to trauma at a higher rate, therefore they use emergency rooms for traumas resulting from several causes. One of the most serious traumas is burning. Our hospital's emergency room and burn unit provides hundreds of Syrian children, women and men with the treatment opportunities every year. In this study, we aimed to examine the clinical status of the patients who were hospitalized at the burn unit of our hospital due to the burns occurred during the Syrian civil war.
