Abstract(s)
Nos últimos dois anos, entre 2020 e 2021, as crianças e os jovens terão
enfrentado vários desafios decorrentes das restrições causadas pela
situação pandémica da COVID-19, com interferência nas diferentes
dimensões da sua vida. Considerando que as medidas de contenção
da pandemia poderão ter conduzido a alterações familiares, sociais e
ao nível da participação e utilização do ambiente envolvente, importa
conhecer o impacto destas alterações na ocorrência de acidentes
domésticos e de lazer (ADL) nesta população. O presente estudo tem
como finalidade contribuir para um melhor conhecimento sobre os ADL
ocorridos durante a pandemia da COVID-19 que motivaram o recurso
ao serviço de urgência (SU) em crianças e jovens. Entre 2019 e 2021, a
partir do sistema EVITA foram analisados 148 440 episódios de recurso
ao SU devidos a ADL em crianças e jovens até aos 19 anos, ocorridos
ao ar livre, em áreas desportivas, em casa, na escola, em áreas institucionais
e recintos públicos. Observou-se uma diminuição de 25% no
número de episódios de admissão ao SU por ADL ocorridos em 2020 e
uma diminuição de 7% em 2021, ambos face a 2019.
During the last two years, between 2020 and 2021, children and young people have faced several challenges given the restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic situation affecting different aspects in their daily lives. Considering the measures to contain the pandemic may have led to family, social and participation environmental changes it is important to know their influence on the occurrence of Home and Leisure Accidents (HLA) in this population. The aim of this study is to contribute to a better understanding of the HLA occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic involving the use of emergency department (ED) by children and young people. From the EVITA system, between 2019 and 2021, 148 440 episodes of HLA which required ED care were analysed in children and young people occurred in outdoors spaces, sports area, at home and at school, institutional areas and public places. There was a decrease by 25% in the number of ED episodes due to HLA in 2020 and a decrease by 7% in 2021, both compared to 2019.
