摘要

导言：报道向旅行者提供的领事援助性质的文献有限。这项研究的目的是描述爱尔兰外交部的领事援助活动。方法：对2014-2023年公开获取的领事协助数据进行描述性分析。领事使团被列入16-19类。结果：总共记录了26 378个领事援助特派团。最大比例的任务与COVID-19遣返（26.9%,n= 7097）、海外死亡（10%,n= 2650）和海外医疗疾病/精神健康紧急情况（11.6%,n= 3047）有关。法医事件（逮捕/犯罪受害者）占领事援助事件的12.9% （n=3,392）。结论：本研究突出了一个国家政府机构收到的领事援助请求的特点和趋势。未来的研究应探讨旅行者对领事程序的认识以及在旅行医学咨询中对这些程序的处理程度。

Analysis of consular assistance provided to Irish citizens abroad, 2014–2023

Introduction

There has been limited literature reporting the nature of the consular assistance provided to travellers. This study aimed to describe the consular assistance activity of the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs.

Methods

Publicly available consular assistance data (2014–2023) were analysed descriptively. Consular missions were listed under 16–19 categories.

Results

A total of 26,378 consular assistance missions were recorded. The greatest proportion of missions related to COVID-19 repatriations (26.9 %, n = 7097), deaths overseas (10 %, n = 2650), and medical illness/mental health emergency abroad (11.6 %, n = 3047). Forensic incidents (arrests/victims of crime) accounted for 12.9 % (n = 3392) of consular assistance episodes.

Conclusion

This study highlights the characteristics and trends of consular assistance requests received by a national governmental agency. Future studies should explore traveller awareness of consular procedures and the extent to which they are addressed in travel medicine consultations.
