Vpliv izbranih individualnih in zunanjih dejavnikov na pojav težkih poškodb

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the understanding of the importance of different determinants and their impact on the severity of injuries of individuals in road traffic accidents, so that measures that are supposed to prevent or reduce severe injury consequences can be developed. In this paper three research models have been built. Model I was built to study the impact of demographic factors (gender and age) on the individualâs likelihood to wear a seat-belt while Model II to study the impact of demographic factors (gender and age) and the impact of wearing a seat belt on the likelihood that fatal injuries of individuals in road traffic accidents occur. Model III was formed to study the impact of several environmental factors on the likelihood that the accident involves severe or fatal injuries of road traffic accident participants. Altogether our study revealed that middle-aged individuals (over 25 years and up to 65 years old) are less likely to wear a seatbelt and at the same time more likely to suffer fatal injuries in road traffic accidents. This is the result that implies that the targeted policy measures to the population between 25 and 65 years of age are needed to reduce the fatal injuries occurrence in Slovenia. Namen tega Älanka je prispevati k razumevanju razliÄnih determinant in njihovega vpliva na pojav teÅ¾kih poÅ¡kodb pri udeleÅ¾encih cestnih prometnih nesreÄ, z namenom, da bi lahko bolje oblikovali ukrepe za njihovo zmanjÅ¡anje ter prepreÄevanje njihovih posledic. V tem prispevku smo oblikovali tri regresijske modele. Model I smo oblikovali z namenom analize vpliva demografskih dejavnikov (spol in starost) na verjetnost, da posameznik uporablja varnostni pas v osebnem avtomobilu, Model II pa z namenom preuÄiti vpliv demografskih dejavnikov (spol in starost) in vpliv uporabe varnostnega pasu, na verjetnost, da se cestna prometna nesreÄa konÄa s smrtnim izidom udeleÅ¾encev. Model III smo oblikovali za analiziranje vpliva razliÄnih dejavnikov v okolju na verjetnost, da udeleÅ¾enci prometne nesreÄe utrpijo teÅ¾je poÅ¡kodbe ali poÅ¡kodbo s smrtnim izidom. Rezultati med drugim kaÅ¾ejo, da je za posameznike iz srednje starostne skupine (nad 25 pa do 65 let starosti) v povpreÄju bolj verjetno, da ne uporabljajo varnostnega pasu, hkrati pa je za njih bolj verjetno, da kot udeleÅ¾enci prometnih nesreÄ utrpijo hude poÅ¡kodbe. Rezultati tako kaÅ¾ejo, da je smiselno ciljne mere za zmanjÅ¡anje Å¡tevila prometnih nesreÄ s teÅ¾kimi poÅ¡kodbami, usmeriti na to starostno skupino v Sloveniji..
