Uvod: V morju živijo številne strupene živali, ki lahko s svojimi vbodi ali ugrizi povzročijo bolj ali manj resne zastrupitve. Nekatere so tudi smrtno nevarne. Morski zmaji, meduze in določene vrste morskih vetrnic ter bodike so tiste živali, ki v Jadranskem morju povzročijo največ zastrupitev med kopalci, ribiči in potapljači. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je bil ugotoviti, kakšno je poznavanje prve pomoči pri zastrupitvah s strupenimi živalmi v morju. Cilj je bil predstaviti najpogostejše strupene živali v Jadranskem morju in opisati simptomatiko zastrupitve, predstaviti napotke za prvo pomoč zastrupljencu pri zastrupitvi s strupenimi živalmi, ugotoviti raven teoretičnega znanja prve pomoči ter primerjati znanje prve pomoči pri zastrupitvi s strupenimi živalmi med ljudmi, ki živijo ob morju, in tistimi, ki hodijo na morje le občasno (turisti). Metode dela: V empiričnem delu je bila uporabljena kvantitativno neeksperimentalna metoda dela. Zbiranje podatkov je potekalo s pomočjo anketnega vprašalnika, izvedenega v slovenskem in hrvaškem jeziku. Podatki so bili zbirani z aplikacijo za spletno anketiranje 1KA. Pridobljene rezultate smo analizirali s pomočjo Microsoft Excel Office Home 2021. Rezultati: Največji delež anektiranih (92 %) je od strupenih morskih živali na fotografiji prepoznal voščeno morsko vetrnico in najmanj (22 %) mesečinko. Da je morski zmaj oz. pajek strupen, ve 30 % več tistih, ki živijo ob morju, v primerjavi s tistimi, ki živijo v notranjosti države. Več kot dve tretjini anektiranih je prepričanih, da v okviru prve pomoči ob stiku s strupenimi morskimi živalmi prizadeti del kože čim hitreje speremo s sladko vodo, kar ni ustrezno. Razprava in zaključek: Ugotovili smo, da imajo anketiranci precej pomanjkljivo znanje o strupenih morskih živalih. Boljše znanje izkazujejo anketiranci, ki živijo ob morju, v primerjavi s tistimi, ki živijo v notranjosti države. Tako laike kot zdravstvene delavce je treba izobraževati o prvi pomoči pri zastrupitvah s strupenimi morskimi živalim.

• Title: Knowledge of first aid for poisoning by poisonous animals in the sea : diploma work

Abstract

Introduction: The sea is home to many venomous animals that can cause more or less serious poisoning through their bites or stings. Some of them are even life threatening. Sea dragons, jellyfish and certain species of sea anemones and spiny sea lions are the animals tha t cause the most poisonings among swimmers, fishermen and divers in the Adriatic Sea. Aim: The aim of this diploma work was to determine the knowledge of first aid for poisoning by poisonous animals in the sea. The aim was to present the most common poison ous animals in the Adriatic Sea and to describe the symptomatology of poisoning, to present first aid instructions for poisoning with poisonous animals, to determine the level of theoretical knowledge of first aid in poisoning with poisonous animals and to compare the knowledge of first aid in poisoning with poisonous animals between people living by the sea and those who go to the sea only occasionally (tourists). Methods: Data collection was carried out by means of a questionnaire in Slovenian and Croatia n languages. Data were collected using the online survey application 1KA. The results were analysed using Microsoft Excel Office Home 2021. Results: the highest proportion of respondents (92%) identified a wax sea anemone in the photograph and the lowest (22%) a moonfish. 30% more of those living by the sea compared to those living inland know that a sea dragon or spider is poisonous. More than two th irds of those surveyed believe that, as first aid when coming into contact with toxic marine animals, washin g the affected part of the skin as quickly as possible with fresh water is not adequate. Discussion and conclusion: We found that respondents' knowledge about toxic marine animals is rather limited. Respondents living by the sea have better knowledge compared to those living inland. Both lay people and health professionals need to be educated on first aid for poisoning by toxic marine animals.
