Abstract

Injuries from motor vehicle accidents are a major public health concern worldwide, with estimates predicting an increase in death due to increased vehicle ownership and usage. The confluence of an inter-provincial route and a high population density in Sleman Regency, add to traffic congestion, making road safety a concern. The study uses data from the Health and Demographic Surveillance System Sleman, using the 2019 dataset. This descriptive study used a cross-sectional observational design. Secondary data analysis was carried out to see the pattern of injury. The study focuses on motor vehicle accidents in Sleman in 2019, which included 368 individuals, with 79% being motorbike accidents, 221 (76.47%) was wearing a standardized helmet fastened. There are 206 males (56%) are more prone to frequent motor vehicle accidents. The most susceptible category consisted of 123 teenagers aged 12-25, while secondary school education was the most heavily impacted group, with 134 counts. The lower extremities were the most afflicted anatomical location, with 247 casualties. Only lower extremity injuries exhibit a significant correlation with gender (p-value 0.03<0.05). The two-tailed significance value was 0.182 > 0.05, indicating no significant gender-based difference in motor vehicle accidents. The study examines injury patterns in Sleman during 2019, analyzing factors such as gender, age, education, injury type, and anatomical location. Motorcycle accidents were the most frequent, with helmets providing limited protection. Males and adolescents were particularly vulnerable, aligning with other studies linking risk behaviors and inexperience to higher accident rates. Individuals with secondary education were the most affected, likely due to increased exposure to driving risks. Lower extremities were the most frequently injured area, with bruises being the most common injury type. Permanent scars predominantly affected the upper extremities, highlighting the long-term cosmetic impact of accidents.
