“…27 Bu orandaki yükseklik gereksiz başvurunun fazlalığını göstermekte olup, tüm iş yükünün dörtte birinin acillerde karşılanması, acil personeli ve fiziki ortamı ile birlikte acile başvuran hasta ve yakınlarının tıbbi, sosyal ve psikolojik durumları da dikkate alındığında, aksaklıklara sebep olmaktadır. Bunun da şiddet vakalarının artmasına yol açması kaçınılmazdır.…”

Objectives:We aimed to analyse the data on violence against healthcare workers in an hospital according to the White Code (WC) reports implemented, to prevent such violence events and discuss some solutions about it. Materials and Methods: In the study, WC data of Hamidiye Etfal Training and Research Hospital for years 2016 and 2017 were obtained and examined with appropriate statistical methods. Results: 209 violence events were declared. 191 of the healthcare workers were victims of violence in these two years. 18 of them were exposed to violence twice in this period. Violence against healthcare workers was more common among women, doctors, emergency staff and the personel under 40 years of age. Number of physical violence victims were 57. The high rate of physical violence was found to be related to the male gender, serving as a security personnel and being in the emergency department (p<0.05), but age was not related. Conclusion: Violence against health workers is a important problem, particularly in emergency departments. In order to solve the problem, unnecessary admissions to emergency departments should be prevented. In-service trainings should be provided for all health workers, but firstly for emergency service workers and security staff. Awareness-raising trainings should be provided to the service-users and existing punishments should be made deterrent.

OBJECTIVE: The overload of pediatric emergency units around the world has become an increasing problem for patients and health care professionals alike. Researching the features of pediatric emergency services will provide the necessary information for creating an effective emergency medical system, increasing patient satisfaction, and reducing the treatment costs. In this study; we aimed to check the admissions in pediatric emergency rooms, evaluate the effectiveness of emergency service, and develop suitable strategies to increase the amount and quality of medical service given in pediatric emergency rooms. METHODS: In this retrospective study, the records of 296,858 (51.2% female, 48.8% male) patient admissions in the emergency rooms and 384,171 (46.3% female, 53.7% male) admissions in the outpatient clinics of eight hospitals between January 2015 and June 2015 were scanned. Out of these hospitals, two facilities were research and training hospitals. RESULTS: The average age of patients who were admitted to the emergency room was 89.1 (±21.3) months and the average age of patients admitted to the outpatient clinics was 87.2 (±18.7) months. Upper respiratory tract infection was the most frequent (44.23%) diagnosis in the emergency rooms and most of these infected patients (63.67%) had been admitted to the two training and research hospitals that provide an advanced level of health care. Also, the patient requests for diagnosis were determined to be significantly high in emergency rooms. CONCLUSION: Proper understanding of the scope of emergency services is very important in order to provide fast and effective healthcare to the patients who get admitted to emergency rooms and maintain appropriate and judicious use of the resources of emergency rooms.
