摘要

烧伤是造成残疾调整生命年损失的主要原因之一，主要发生在低收入和中等收入国家。及时有效的急救对减轻烧伤的严重程度至关重要。本研究评估了目前在沙特阿拉伯的卫生保健工作者和非卫生保健个人烧伤急救知识水平。方法对沙特阿拉伯吉达市的卫生保健工作者和一般人群进行横断面研究。数据通过在线问卷调查收集，调查主要由两部分组成：参与者的人口统计学特征和五个基于案例的选择题（烫伤、火焰烧伤、接触烧伤、化学烧伤和液化石油气瓶烧伤）。结果共纳入调查对象748人，其中医护人员355人，应答率为92.2 %，普通人群393人。超过三分之一（36.6 %）的参与者报告接受了正式的急救培训。然而，在26.3% %的案例中，该培训涵盖了烧伤的急救。卫生保健工作者对烫伤烧伤（p <； 0.001）、火焰烧伤（p = 0.028）、接触烧伤（p <； 0.001）和液化气瓶烧伤（p <； 0.001）的了解程度高于一般人群。多因素logistic回归分析结果显示，两组患者仅工作类别和接受过急救培训的历史与烧伤管理知识不足显著相关。结论虽然医护人员对不同烧伤情况的急救管理知识比一般人群高，但两组的知识水平都有待提高。因此，强烈建议对所有卫生保健工作者和一般人群进行全面的健康和安全教育，特别关注烧伤安全。

First aid knowledge for burn injuries among healthcare workers and the general population in Saudi Arabia: A cross-sectional study

Burns are among the leading causes of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) lost, predominantly in low- and middle-income countries. Prompt and effective first aid is crucial in mitigating the severity of burn injuries. This study assessed the current burn first aid knowledge level among healthcare workers and non-healthcare individuals in Saudi Arabia.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted among a sample of healthcare workers and the general population in Jeddah City, Saudi Arabia. Data were collected through an online questionnaire-based survey composed of two main parts: demographic characteristics of the participants and five case-scenario-based multiple-choice questions (scald burns, flame burns, contact burns, chemical burns, and liquid petroleum gas cylinder burns).

Results

A total of 748 participants were included in the study (355 healthcare workers with a response rate of 92.2 % and 393 general population). More than one-third (36.6 %) of the participants reported receiving formal training in first aid. However, this training covered first aid in burn injuries in 26.3 % of cases. Healthcare workers were more knowledgeable than the general population as regards scald burns (p < 0.001), flame burns (p = 0.028), contact burns (p < 0.001), and liquid petroleum gas cylinder burns (p < 0.001). Results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that only job category and history of receiving any training in first aid were significantly associated with insufficient knowledge about the management of burns among both groups.

Conclusion

Although healthcare workers demonstrated better knowledge than the general population regarding the 1st aid management for different burn scenarios, both groups’ knowledge levels require improvement. Thus, comprehensive health and safety education, with a specific focus on burn safety, is highly recommended for all healthcare workers and the general population.

期刊介绍： Burns aims to foster the exchange of information among all engaged in preventing and treating the effects of burns. The journal focuses on clinical, scientific and social aspects of these injuries and covers the prevention of the injury, the epidemiology of such injuries and all aspects of treatment including development of new techniques and technologies and verification of existing ones. Regular features include clinical and scientific papers, state of the art reviews and descriptions of burn-care in practice. Topics covered by Burns include: the effects of smoke on man and animals, their tissues and cells; the responses to and treatment of patients and animals with chemical injuries to the skin; the biological and clinical effects of cold injuries; surgical techniques which are, or may be relevant to the treatment of burned patients during the acute or reconstructive phase following injury; well controlled laboratory studies of the effectiveness of anti-microbial agents on infection and new materials on scarring and healing; inflammatory responses to injury, effectiveness of related agents and other compounds used to modify the physiological and cellular responses to the injury; experimental studies of burns and the outcome of burn wound healing; regenerative medicine concerning the skin.
