INTRODUCTION: Injuries and violence are among the most prominent public health problems in the world. As well as being a leading cause of mortality - particularly among children and young adults - many of the millions of non-fatal injuries result in life-long disabilities and health consequences. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of unintentional injuries and violence, and their associated factors among high school students.
METHODS: This cross-sectional study included a total of 1218 high-school students in Turkey. Data were collected through a facilitated self-administered questionnaire with questions adapted from the Global School-based Student Health Survey instrument. Data were analyzed in IBM SPSS Statistics 28.0 using chi-square test to find statistical significance if any. The significant variables from the chi-square test were selected for multiple logistic regression analysis.
RESULTS: The overall prevalence of physical attack, physical fighting, and serious injuries were 8.3 %, 14.8 %, and 11.7 %, respectively. In a multiple regression analysis, student truancy and lateness, worry, suicide attempts, and not having close friends were found to be associated with physically attacked, physical fight, and serious injuries.
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that the prevalence of unintentional injuries and violence among high school students is a major public health problem in Turkey. This study results can have important implications for school administration, parents, and policymakers alike to plan appropriate anti-violence strategies and interventions.
