Assessing Treatment Personnel's Trauma Patient Management Skills at Emergency Centers in Baghdad, Iraq.

Background: Trauma is one of the most significant problems and challenges of a contemporary and industrial culture that has been addressed in most nations. Due to the significance of pre-hospital care in the trauma treatment system, the current study was conducted with the aim to examine the impact of learning-based education based on a modified team. Methods: From among the 207 emergency center personnel in Baghdad, stratified random sampling was used to select 140 to participate in a clinical trial. The participants were divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group was trained in trauma management using a problem-based learning strategy, whereas the control group received no training. The data collection tools included a demographic information form and the Brief Trauma Questionnaire (BTQ). The SPSS software was used for data analysis. Results: Multiple post-hoc comparisons showed that the mean score of trauma patient management skills did not significantly differ between the two groups during the pretest (P = 0.918). However, a statistically significant difference was seen between the two groups during the posttest and follow-up stages (P < 0.001). An analysis of variance revealed that the interaction effect of time and intervention on the mean score of trauma patient management skills was statistically significant (P < 0.001). Conclusion: Finally, it is concluded that taking appropriate, accurate, and scientific measures will reduce mortality due to trauma and irreversible complications in the family and society.
