Özet
Giriş: Bu tanımlayıcı araştırma, acil servise başvuran yaşlı hastaların bireysel özelliklerinin ve başvuru nedenlerinin incelemesi amacıyla yapıldı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmanın örneklemini 1 Haziran 2003-1 Haziran 2005 tarihleri arasında Ege Üniversitesi Araştırma ve Uygulama Hastanesi Acil Servise başvuran ve araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden 65 yaşüstü 169 yaşlı oluşturdu. Veriler araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan anket formu ile hastalarla yüz yüze görüşülerek toplandı. Bulgular: Yaşlı hastaların yaşortalaması 74.50±6.53 olarak bulundu. Acil servis başvurularında en sık neden solunum sistemi problemleriydi (%21.3), bunu gastrointestinal sistem problemleri (%18.3), kalp-damar sistemi problemleri (%16.6) ve travma (%15.4) izliyordu. Yaşlıların %52.7’sinin boşaltım, %51.5’inin görme, %49’unun uyku problemi yaşadığı, %72.8’inde en az 1 kronik hastalık olduğu saptandı. Sonuç: Yaşlı hastaların acil servise sırasıyla en çok; solunum sistemi problemleri, gastrointestinal sistem problemleri, kalp-damar sistemi problemleri ve travma ile başvurdukları belirlendi. Acil serviste bu problemlerin hızlı tanı ve tedavisinin yapılması yaşlı hastalar için hayat kurtarıcı olacaktır.
Introduction: This descriptive study was carried out with the purpose of analyzing individual characteristics and admission causes of the elderly patients to emergency departments. Materials and Method: the sample of the research is composed of 169 elderly patients above age 65, who were admitted to the Emergency Department of Ege University Research and Practice Hospital between June 1, 2003 and June 1, 2005 and who volunteered to participate in the research. the data were collected with a questionnaire form prepared by the researchers and with face-to-face interview. Results: Mean age of the elderly patients was 74.50±6.53. Respiratory system problems (%21.3) were the most frequent causes among these admissions, followed by gastrointestinal problems (%18.3), cardiovascular system problems (%16.6), and trauma (%15.4). It was found out that 52.7% of the patients had excretion problems, 51.5% had vision problems, 49% sleep problems, and 72.8% had at least one chronic disease. Conclusion: It was determined that the most common reasons that bring the elderly people to the emergency departments were respiratory system problems, gastrointestinal problems, cardiovascular system problems and trauma. Rapid diagnosis and treatment of these problems in the emergency department has a life saving role for elderly patients.
