The water environment offers a wide range of opportunities for people to have fun, organize activities for sports and recreation. The water environment is not an environment in which people can survive. But the buoyancy and the physical properties of the human make it possible to float on the surface of the water without sinking. Drowning in water; is a chain of events that starts with respiratory inhibition caused by sinking in the water environment and ends with complete cessation. Drowning can be considered as an important problem within the scope of public health. The number of people who lost their lives by drowning in a year is estimated to be around a thousand in Turkey. The aim of this study is to examine the deaths caused by drowning in the province of Sinop in terms of the number of people drowning on a yearly basis, the reasons for being there, the demographic characteristics of these people, how the drowning took place and the environment in which drowning events took place. In this research, online search engines were crawled with the following keywords, "drowned in the sea", "drowned in the water", "dropped into the water and drowned", "victim saved but savior drowned ", "couldn’t save and drowned", "drowned while swimming" etc. and news about drowning were collected on a daily basis based on the date of 01.01.2005 and 31.12.2016. In the light of the information obtained from these news, the information of the people who drowned, the place of the drowning event, the reasons for being at the scene of the incident, the water environment, etc. were recorded. The analysis of the data was carried out with the SPSS 21 package program and 2 of the descriptive statistical methods, frequency and percentage tests were used. As a result, the number of people who died by drowning in the city of Sinop in 12 years was determined to be 64. Swimming and water safety training should be provided from a young age in order to prevent deaths as a result of drowning.

Su ortamı, insanlara eğlenceli vakit geçirebilecekleri, sportif amaçlı ve rekreasyonel etkinlikler düzenleyebilecekleri çok çeşitli imkânlar sunmaktadır. Su ortamı; insanların içerisinde yaşamlarını sürdürebilecekleri bir ortam değildir. Fakat suyun kaldırma gücü ve insanın fiziksel özellikleri, insanın batmadan suyun yüzeyinde durmasını sağlar. Suda boğulma; su ortamı içerisinde batmadan kaynaklanan solunum engellenmesi ile başlayan ve tamamen kesilmesi ile sonuçlanan bir olaylar zinciridir. Halk sağlığı kapsamında boğulma önemli bir problem olarak değerlendirilebilir. Net bir rakam olmamakla birlikte, Türkiye’de genelinde her yıl boğularak hayatını kaybeden insanların sayısının bin civarında olduğu tahmin edilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Sinop ilinde, suda boğulma sonucunda meydana gelen ölümleri yıl bazında boğulan kişilerin sayıları, ne sebeple ilgili ortamda bulundukları, bu kişilerin demografik özellikleri, boğulmaların gerçekleşme şekilleri ile boğulma olaylarının yaşandığı ortam açısından incelemektir. Bu araştırmada çevrimiçi arama motorlarında şu anahtar kelimelerle tarama yapılmış, “denizde boğuldu”, “suda boğuldu”, “suya düştü boğuldu”, “kurtardı boğuldu”, “kurtaramadı boğuldu”, “yüzerken boğuldu” vb. ve boğulma ile ilgili haberler 01.01.2005 ile 31.12.2016 tarih aralığı baz alınarak günlük olarak toplanmıştır. Bu haberlerden elden edilen bilgiler ışığında boğulan kişilerin bilgileri, boğulma olayının gerçekleştiği yer, olay yerinde bulunma sebepleri, su ortamı vb. veriler kayıt altına alınmıştır. Verilerin analizi SPSS 21 paket programı ile gerçekleştirilmiş ve tanımlayıcı istatistik yöntemlerden frekans ve yüzde testleri kullanılmıştır. Sonuç olarak 12 yılda Sinop ilinde suda boğularak hayatını kaybeden kişi sayısı 64 olarak belirlenmiştir. Boğulma sonucu ölümlerin önüne geçilebilmeis için küçük yaşlardan itibaren yüzme ve su güvenliği eğitimi verilmelidir.
