Trauma in Aquatic Environments

Trauma in aquatic environments refers to physical injuries or psychological stress resulting from incidents that occur in or near water. This can include accidents like drowning, falls, or collisions with boats, leading to bodily harm. Additionally, being in dangerous or chaotic water situations can cause emotional trauma, impacting mental well-being. Factors such as strong currents, poor visibility, or lack of safety measures increase risks. Understanding these issues is vital for promoting safety, prevention strategies, and proper response techniques in aquatic settings to protect both individuals and communities.
