Each year, millions of lives are lost due to injuries, with car accidents, suicides, homicides, and conflicts representing prominent contributors to injury-related mortality worldwide. In Indonesia, falls and motorcycle accidents are particularly prevalent, underscoring the need for effective injury prevention strategies tailored to the country's specific context. Additionally, injuries have far-reaching implications beyond physical harm, often leading to mental health issues, substance socioeconomic challenges such as poverty and crime (Anderson, 2. Among the various causes of injuries, motor vehicle accidents stand out as a significant contributor to both mortality and economic losses. With nearly 1. million lives lost annually and millions more sustaining non-fatal injuries, the societal impact of motor vehicle accidents is profound. Economic costs stemming from medical care, lost wages, and caregiving expenses further compound the burden, with road accidents alone accounting for a significant percentage of a country's gross domestic product. Therefore, understanding and addressing the underlying factors contributing to motor vehicle accidents are essential for mitigating their adverse effects on public health and the economy (Azami-Aghdash, et al. , 2. The study focuses on analysing injury patterns in motor vehicle accident cases using data from the Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) Sleman for the year 2021. Sleman's selection as the study area is strategic, driven by the availability of JMM 2024 p-ISSN 2622-657X, e-ISSN 2723-6862 comprehensive and reliable data that can offer valuable insights into injury dynamics and associated risk factors. conducting a thorough analysis of injury patterns, the research aims to inform evidence-based strategies and interventions tailored to the local context. Ultimately, the findings from this study have the potential to management practices and reduced societal burdens associated with motor vehicle accidents in Sleman and beyond.

Table 3. Type of Injury Type of injury Bruises Cut/Laceration Fracture Sprained Eye Injury Limb Severation Concussion Burn Injury Total Additionally, the use of motorcycle safety gear, such as helmets and protective clothing, often focuses on safeguarding the head and torso, leaving the extremities relatively exposed (Cunningham, 2. Moreover, the absence of safety features like airbags in motorcycles further increases the vulnerability of extremities to direct impact forces (Fauci et al. , 2. These motorcycle-specific highlight the need for targeted interventions and safety measures to address the elevated risk of extremity injuries in motorcycle accidents. Bivariate Analysis Table 4.

In tables 4 and 5, the results of the analysis show whether there is a relationship between site of injury, type of injury and The significance level represents the likelihood of incorrectly rejecting the null hypothesis in hypothesis testing, leading to a type 1 error. It can be set at 1%, 5%, or 10% during a statistical hypothesis test. For instance, a 5% significance level implies that the null hypothesis is rejected 5 times out of 100, even if it is true. In essence, there is a 95% confidence in correctly testing the Therefore, the rejection under a 5% significance level in statistical hypothesis testing signifies the outcome. Table 5.

There were 186 male injured and 116 females Jurnal Menara Medika Vol 7 No 1 September 2024 | 6 Jurnal Menara Medika https://jurnal. id/index. php/menaramedika/index Several previous investigations have focused on examining disparities in driving behaviour between male and female drivers. The majority of research findings have supported the idea that there are distinct driving characteristics between the two genders. Significant variations in driving traits, including speed, skill, and attitude. Females tended to drive at lower speeds and approach overtaking with greater caution, while males generally exhibited higher skill levels, performed challenging manoeuvres adeptly, and were more inclined to take risks, such as driving under the influence of alcohol. Interestingly, no significant differences had been identified previously between male and female drivers in terms of being at fault in accidents (H. AlBalbissi, 2. Age Category Based on the data that has been processed, adult has the highest prevalence of injuries compared to other There were 165 adult who experienced injury related to traffic The higher incidence of injuries related to motor vehicle accidents among adults compared to other age groups can be attributed to several factors. Increased exposure to motor vehicles, particularly due to work-related commuting and responsibilities, raises the likelihood of accidents (Smith et al. , 2. Additionally, adults may engage in riskier driving behaviors such as speeding and aggressive driving, contributing to a higher risk of accidents and increased injury severity (Pathak et al. , 2. Preexisting health conditions among adults may exacerbate injuries sustained in accidents, further increasing the likelihood and severity of injuries (Peden and Smikey, 2. Occupational factors, especially in jobs involving frequent JMM 2024 p-ISSN 2622-657X, e-ISSN 2723-6862 travel, can expose adults to a higher risk of motor vehicle accidents and associated injuries (Johnson et al. , 2. Moreover, the cumulative driving experience of adults may contribute to a higher likelihood of being involved in accidents, although this experience does not necessarily translate to safer driving behavior (Lee, 2. Highest Education Based on the data from HDSS Sleman 2021 data regarding injury relaterd to motor vehicle accident cases, it was found that there were 87 victims whose highest level of education was primary education. There were 138 victims whose highest education was secondary education, and there were 51 victims whose highest education was tertiary education. Meanwhile, for those who had never attended school, there were 26 victims (Pathak et al. , 2. Site of Injury The parts of the body that were most frequently injured in traffic accidents based on HDSS Sleman 2021 data were the lower extremity, 208 people. Meanwhile, the part of the body with the fewest injuries was the stomach/internal organs, as many as 6 people. The higher prevalence of lower extremity injuries in motor vehicle accidents can be attributed to several contributing factors. Impact mechanics play a significant role, as various collision types can subject the legs and feet to substantial forces (Pathak et al. Footwell intrusion, a common outcome of vehicle deformation, exposes the lower extremities to direct impact, crush injuries, and potential entrapment, particularly in frontal collisions (Smith et , 2. Proximity to impact points places the legs and feet closer to potential sources of trauma during a collision, as Jurnal Menara Medika Vol 7 No 1 September 2024 | 7 Jurnal Menara Medika https://jurnal. id/index. php/menaramedika/index occupants may instinctively brace themselves by extending their legs (Lee. Despite advancements in vehicle safety, the lower extremities may have less inherent protection compared to the torso and head, with airbags and seat belts primarily designed for upper body (Johnson. Additionally, the risk of partial or complete ejection from the vehicle, common in severe accidents, increases the vulnerability of the lower limbs to injuries (Bolandparvaz, et al. , 2. Type of Injury The type of injury that most often occurs in traffic accidents based on HDSS Sleman 2021 data is bruises and bruises, as many as 257 people. Meanwhile, the types of injuries that were least experienced were severed limbs and brain concussion, each of which was The predominance of bruises as the most frequently occurring type of injury in motor vehicle accidents can be attributed to various factors. During collisions, occupants may experience direct impact with surfaces inside the vehicle, such as the steering wheel, dashboard, or door panels, leading to soft tissue injuries like bruises (Smith et al. , 2. The interaction of safety features like seat belts and airbags, while crucial for overall protection, can also contribute to bruising due to the rapid deployment or restraint forces involved (Pathak et al. , 2. Unrestrained occupants face a higher risk of bruising as they lack the protection provided by seat belts and are more susceptible to contact with vehicle components during a collision (Lee. Additionally, the vulnerability of exposed extremities, such as arms and legs, increases the likelihood of bruising, especially in scenarios where these body JMM 2024 p-ISSN 2622-657X, e-ISSN 2723-6862 parts come into contact with hard surfaces inside the vehicle (Bolandparvaz, et al. Furthermore, bruises may occur as secondary injuries following initial impacts that result in abrasions or lacerations, highlighting the complex nature of injury patterns in motor vehicle accidents (Johnson, 2. Type of Vehicle In the dataset from HDSS Sleman for 2021, vehicular data is divided into non-motorcycles, offering insight into road accident Understanding the dynamics of motorcycle accidents is crucial for targeted safety measures due to their unique characteristics and prevalence. Motorcyclists face distinct injury risks like head injuries, differing from nonmotorized vehicle occupants. This data division allows for a detailed analysis of accident factors within each group. facilitates comparative assessments of severity and injury types, aiding in identifying specific risk factors and guiding tailored interventions. For instance, if motorcycle accidents are prevalent, campaigns promoting helmet usage can be initiated, while focus on road infrastructure may be needed if nonmotorized significantly to accidents. Severity of Injury The World Health Organization (WHO) categorizes injuries into three severity levels: mild, moderate, and severe, providing a framework for assessing harm. Mild injuries, like cuts and bruises, are minor and typically require minimal medical intervention, with short recovery periods and no significant impairment. Moderate injuries, such as fractures, are more serious, requiring medical attention and leading to Jurnal Menara Medika Vol 7 No 1 September 2024 | 8 Jurnal Menara Medika https://jurnal. id/index. php/menaramedika/index temporary impairment. Severe injuries, like traumatic brain injuries, are critical, potentially life-threatening, or resulting in long-term disabilities, often requiring extensive medical intervention and leading to permanent impairment (World Health Organization, 2. CONCLUSSION Based on the analysis conducted from the Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) Sleman data for the year 2021, the most common injuries occurred in the lower extremities, affecting 208 individuals . %), with bruises being the predominant injury type. Among all traffic accident victims in the HDSS Sleman 2021 dataset, bruises were the most prevalent injury type, affecting 257 individuals . %). From the Chi-Square analysis that has been carried out, there is a statistically significant correlation between chest injury and gender which has a p-value of 0. There was also a between sprained and gender which had a p-value of 0. 012, eye injury and gender which had a p-value of 0. RECOMMENDATION
