Abstract:
Investigating the growing concern of pediatric burn injuries caused by social media challenges. Adolescents, seeking fame or succumbing to peer pressure, engage in risky behaviors, recording and sharing them online. The study presents two case reports detailing severe burn injuries resulting from such challenges, highlighting the physical and psychological toll on affected children and their families. In Case report 1, a 14-year-old suffered severe burns attempting a TikTok challenge involving igniting a soaked t-shirt. The patient\'s critical condition necessitated intensive care, surgical procedures, and skin grafts, accompanied by complications like anemia and sepsis. Case report 2 features a 9-year-old who sustained extensive burns while attempting another social media challenge. Treatment included escharolysis, skin grafts, and surgeries, with complications managed during the recovery process. A literature review explores social media-generated burn injuries, revealing their physical and psychological impact. The influence of social proof and peer pressure on adolescents\' behavior in the digital age is discussed. The pandemic\'s effect on mental health is considered, emphasizing the vulnerability of adolescents to such challenges. In conclusion, the paper highlights the rising incidence of teen burn injuries linked to social media challenges. Urgent measures are needed to restrict the promotion of risky behaviors on social platforms. Alongside state-of-the-art burn treatments, comprehensive psychological care is essential for young patients and their families to cope with trauma. Increased content monitoring and the dissemination of prevention materials are recommended to mitigate the occurrence of such incidents.
摘要:
调查由社交媒体挑战引起的小儿烧伤的日益关注。青少年,寻求名声或屈服于同伴压力,从事危险行为,记录并在线分享。该研究提供了两个案例报告,详细说明了这些挑战导致的严重烧伤。强调受影响儿童及其家庭的身心损失。在案例报告1中,一名14岁的年轻人遭受严重烧伤,试图进行TikTok挑战,其中涉及点燃湿透的T恤。病人的病情危重,需要重症监护,外科手术,和皮肤移植,伴有贫血和败血症等并发症。病例报告2的特征是一名9岁的儿童在尝试另一次社交媒体挑战时持续大面积烧伤。治疗包括escharolidation,皮肤移植,和手术,在康复过程中处理并发症。文献综述探讨了社交媒体造成的烧伤,揭示他们的生理和心理影响。讨论了数字时代社会证明和同伴压力对青少年行为的影响。大流行对心理健康的影响被认为,强调青少年面对这些挑战的脆弱性。总之,该论文强调了与社交媒体挑战相关的青少年烧伤发生率的上升。需要采取紧急措施来限制在社交平台上推广危险行为。除了最先进的烧伤治疗,全面的心理护理对于年轻患者及其家人应对创伤至关重要。建议加强内容监测和分发预防材料,以减轻此类事件的发生。
