Injuries is the
most common problem among children today. It may lead to death in many cases.
It could be considered as a disaster in most communities of modern world.
Injuries increase prevalence of illness among young children of all age
groups. In the first world, there are
high numbers of disabilities caused by injuries. .(Bener
et al 2007). As to Gad (2011) falls were
stated to be of (40,4%) of injuries that are common mostly.He found
out that (RTA) which means Road Traffic Accidents were recorded to be
representing (15%) while food toxicity had the percentage of (8%) of
injuries. Statistics showed that females
were less in having injuries than males percentages as they had (18% ) while males stated the percentage of (26%). There
are factors lead to the fact that males are more in having injuries than
females. Street playing, being dwelled next to clubs or playgrounds, doing
sports and getting involved into fights and violent actions. Rates of childhood
death, treatment I hospitals or having different kinds of disabilities show
that injuries caused by road accidents are the main cause of them.
Pedestrian injuries are very common among
children, they are increasing in a very dangerous way. Children are usually liable
for being burnt, drown, being cut or having electric shocks. It is strange that
children often face such kinds of injuries at homes. (Hall et al 2006) Trauma
has great effects on children lives as it causes many dangerous results. Trauma
can be defined as a physiological cut that an external element did or a real
wound as a breaking or a strong hit. (Campbell
and John 2011) Trauma happens when a person fall off a ladder, being hit by a
car or hit with hard objects. Trauma can lead to death or to having
disabilities. It is very dangerous and could affect the brain when the head is
injured. It could affect the patient's health for long times and could affect
his body, his movement or his whole life. It could harm the body of the patient
forever. These kinds of injuries are considered of great danger and need good
intensive caring for patients after having them in order to reduce effects
resulting from them. Long term treatment is suggested. (Campbell and John 2011)
