Signifikansi Helm Sni Sebagai Alat Pelindung Pengendara Sepeda Motor Dari Cedera Kepala

Abstract

The right function of helmet as protective motorcycle riders from head injuries during an accident and suffered a clash of heads, within the limits of the ability of the helmet and accident conditions experienced. Useful of this research is sit on the capabilities of helmets to some kind of head injury. The hope is that people come to understand that the helmet is not the sole determinant of safety from the severity of motorcyclists head injury when the accident occured. The study aims to calculate the significance of the function of SNI helmet as protective gear from head injuries compared to other influential factors and then calculate the amount of potential for the occurrence of an injury to the head. The method used is a collaboration of three statistical methods were then infer the best. The three methods are the prevalence ratio (PR), chi-squared (Xhit2), the distribution of z (p-value) with CI = 95%, is used to calculate the significance of the function of SNI helmet as protective gear from head injuries caused by exposure to a motorcycle accident between the years 2006 - 2011 in the city of Bandung. As additionaly, the multivariate test is used to calculate the magnitude of the potential incidence of head injuries suffered. The result is that the use of SNI helmet significantly affect the severity of the injury skull fracture and facial bones (S02) injury suffered by motorcyclists when it crashed. With conditions not collision accident happened opposite and not patterned front-front collisions and as far as possible to get help fast. So the potential victim injured S02 1.437 times greater than not using SNI helmet. The conclusion was that the use of helmet-SNI merely protect riders from head injuries while the potential of S02 only more severe head injuries such as severe HI injury, intracranial (S06) and death are beyond the capabilities of the helmet
