Abstract:

AbstractIntroduction:Burnout among emergency medical personnel (emergency medical personne) is suspected, but largely unsupported in the literature. An investigation of the phenomenon of burnout and factors contributing to its existence are essential steps in designingeffective interventions.Research Questions:Three research questions were proposed: 1) Are EMP sensation seekers as measured by Arnett's Inventory of Sensation Seeking? 2) Are EMP burnt out as measured by Revicki's Work-Related Strain Inventory? 3) Is there a relationship between sensation seeking and burnout among EMP?Methods:Emergency medical personnel attending a statewide conference in Texas, USA in late 1996 completed 425 survey instruments measuring sensation seeking and burnout as well as demographic items. Survey instruments were included in each registrant's conference package. Completed surveys were deposited anonymously in labeled receptacles throughout the statewide conference site. Data collection ceased at the end of the conference.Results:Emergency Medical Personne had significantly higher sensation–seeking total and intensity sub–scale scores than the general public. Full–time employees reported more sensation–seeking than volunteers or part–time employees. The younger the Emergency Medical Personne, the greater were their reported sensation seeking tendencies. Emergency Medical Personne reported more burnout in 1996 than in 1991. The older the Emergency Medical Personne, the lower was the reported level of burnout. Emergency Medical Personne who sought counseling for a work–related event reported more burnout than those who did not. Paid full–time Emergency Medical Personne reported higher burnout than did volunteers. There was a weak but positive correlation between sensation seeking and burnout, suggesting that these two dimensions may be unrelated.Conclusion:The field of emergency medical services attracts sensation seekers, and Emergency Medical Personne today report more burnout than their counterparts did in 1991. Although Emergency Medical Personne appear to be high in sensation seeking, this dimension alone does not protect them from the effects of burnout.

Abstract:

Background: Pre-hospital emergency medical services (EMS) personnel are responsible for providing intervention outside of the hospital setting. Consequently, the pre-hospital emergency personnel demand high capability of the personnel to perform emergency aid at the scene and during transport to the hospital. Objective: The purpose of this study is to explore emergency skills competence among pre-hospital emergency personnel in the area on the north coast of Java. Method: This study used the Essential Knowledge and Skills Questionnaire (EKSQ) as the instrument. There was 42 pre-hospital emergency personnel participated in this study. Results: This study revealed that most pre-hospital emergency personnel are nurses (93%). Most respondents reported not having sufficient competency in resuscitation (2,78 of 5 points) and giving medication (2,81 of 5 points). Age and experience were significantly correlated with pre-hospital emergency personnel's competence. Conclusion: This study concluded that there was a lack of competence in resuscitation. Hence, continuous professional-development courses are necessary to maintain pre-hospital emergency personnel's professional proficiency.

Abstract:

AbstractIntroductionTerrorism and natural catastrophes have made disaster preparedness a critical issue. Despite the documented vulnerabilities of children during and following disasters, gaps remain in health care systems regarding pediatric disaster preparedness. This research study examined changes in knowledge acquisition of pediatric disaster preparedness among medical and non-medical personnel at a children’s hospital who completed an online training course of five modules: planning, triage, age-specific care, disaster management, and hospital emergency code response.MethodsA multi-disciplinary team within the Pediatric Disaster Resource and Training Center at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (Los Angeles, California USA) developed an online training course. Available archival course data from July 2009 to August 2012 were analyzed through linear growth curve multi-level modeling, with module total score as the outcome (0 to 100 points), attempt as the Level 1 variable (any module could be repeated), role in the hospital (medical or non-medical) as the Level 2 variable, and attempt by role as the cross-level effect.ResultsA total of 44,115 module attempts by 5,773 course participants (3,686 medical personnel and 2,087 non-medical personnel) were analyzed. The average module total score upon first attempt across all participants ranged from 60.28 to 80.11 points, and participants significantly varied in how they initially scored. On average in the planning, triage, and age-specific care modules: total scores significantly increased per attempt across all participants (average rate of change ranged from 0.59 to 1.84 points) and medical personnel had higher total scores initially and through additional attempts (average difference ranged from 13.25 to 16.24 points). Cross-level effects were significant in the disaster management and hospital emergency code response modules: on average, total scores were initially lower among non-medical personnel compared to medical personnel, but non-medical personnel increased their total scores per attempt by 3.77 points in the disaster management module and 6.40 points in the hospital emergency code response module, while medical personnel did not improve their total scores through additional attempts.Conclusion:Medical and non-medical hospital personnel alike can acquire knowledge of pediatric disaster preparedness. Key content can be reinforced or improved through successive training in an online course.PhamPK, BeharSM, BergBM, UppermanJS, NagerAL.

Abstract:

Professional burnout syndrome was detected among 250 persons of medical response personnel by the total examination of 900 doctors and nurses. Research provided in specific psychological areas of emergency medical response and ambulance teams affected by burning syndrome, its phenomenological mechanisms of formation are allocated. Personal related profiles, character accentuation options, emotional and motivational state of emergency medical response staff with burnout syndrome are detected. Social functioning features of emergency medical response personnel in the examined groups are researched and identified. We developed optimization for the burnout syndrome for the emergency medical response personnel based on an evaluation of its phenomenology and pathopsychological mechanisms of formation. Systematic approach used in this research allowed justifying principles of pathogenetic psychotherapeutic correction for emergency medical response staff with burnout syndrome. Approbation of the proposed correction has proved its high efficiency in 80% of personnel.

Abstract:

The following circular letter was sent by the ICRC and League chief medical officers to all the National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies with a view to rationalizing consignments of medicaments and medical material for emercency medical actions. The circular letter contains practical advice and precise rules to be observed when selecting and packaging emergency relief medicaments.The success of emergency action in cases of natural disaster or armed conflict depends of the degree of preparedness of personnel and material: it is not necessarily proportional to the number of volunteers or the volume of relief supplies hastily dispatched.

Abstract:

Background: Hazardous chemicals are essential for modern society but the use and transportation of them bears the risk of major incidents. Past incidents have revealed the importance of preparation and training of emergency medical service (EMS) personnel when responding to these incidents. However, studies have shown the level of preparedness to be insufficient. There is a lack of knowledge as to how EMS personnel perceive their preparedness and response when facing chemical incidents. Aim: The aim of this study was to qualitative investigate working procedures regarding chemical incidents among a cohort of EMS personnel. Method: Seventeen ambulance nurses from rural and urban areas were individually interviewed using four different realistic scenarios (vignettes). The transcribed text from the interviews was analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Result: The results were derived into two categories with underlying sub-categories: a struggle to organize the onsite work situation (insufficient managerial support, limited resources, trust in rescue services, difficult decision making, stressful responsibilities); and decontamination—a demanding and risky situation (risk management, work in protective gear, aggravating circumstances). Participants often lack real life experience in facing a chemical incident and training that improves preparedness and the ability to respond adequately. Conclusion: Chemical incidents pose many challenges for EMS personnel, but with proper training efforts many of these challenges could be solved. This study has shown the need for more accessible chemical incident training targeting EMS personnel: especially focusing on risk assessment; managerial support; resource management; equipment; and decontamination, including stress management and decision-making. Research in the area of chemical incidents is sparse and there remains much to understand concerning work procedures during chemical incidents.

Abstract:

AbstractObjectiveEmergency and core ambulance personnel work under all environmental conditions, including severe weather condtions. We evaluated emergency medical personnel in Çanakkale, Turkey, for their degree of preparedness.MethodsA descriptive study was conducted in Çanakkale, Turkey, within 112 emergency service units and their 17 district stations. Surveys were developed to measure the level of preparedness for serious winter conditions that individual workers made for themselves, their homes, and their cars.ResultsOf the 167 survey participants, the mean age was 29.8 ± 7.9 years; 52.7% were women; more than half (54.75%) were emergency medical technicians; and 53.3% were married. Only 10.4% of those who heated their homes with natural gas had carbon monoxide detectors. Scores relating to household and individual preparation for severe winter conditions increased by participants’ age (P < .003), being married (P < .000) and working in the city center (P < .021); and for men whose cars were equipped with tow ropes, extra clothing, and snow tires (P < .05). Absenteeism was higher for central-city personnel than district workers because they were less prepared for harsh winter conditions (P = .016).ConclusionMany of the surveyed emergency health personel demonstrated insufficient preparations for serious winter conditions. To increase the safety and efficiency of emergency medical personnel, educational training programs should be rountinely conducted. (Disaster Med Public Health Preparedness. 2014;0:1-4)

Abstract:

RÉSUMÉ: L’encombrement des salles d’urgence a atteint un niveau de crise et les retombées s’étendent au-delà des murs des hôpitaux. De plus en plus, le personnel des urgences surchargées utilise la tactique du «détournement des ambulances», obligeant les préposés aux SMU à se diriger vers le prochain établissement adéquat. Comme de plus en plus d’hôpitaux ont recours au détournement, les patients s’accumulent dans les établissements qui les acceptent jusqu’à ce que ceux-ci débordent également. Finalement, plus personne n’accepte de patients et les préposés aux SMU doivent attendre avec leurs patients dans les corridors de l’urgence qu’une civière se libère. En raison de cette situation, il y a moins d’ambulances disponibles pour répondre aux appels 911. Le principal mandat d’un service pré-hospitalier est de prodiguer des soins sur les lieux de l’incident et non dans les corridors d’une urgence et il est inacceptable qu’une pénurie de lits à l’urgence entraîne des retards de réponse au 911. La plupart des gens sont d’accord pour dire qu’il est inacceptable que des patients malades aient à attendre dans les corridors de l’urgence pour des civières inexistantes; cependant, même si cette situation est dangereuse, elle l’est moins que le fait d’obliger ces mêmes patients à attendre indûment à la maison l’arrivée des SMU. Les hôpitaux devraient peut-être prendre un engagement moral d’accepter les patients peu importe la situation d’encombrement, puis d’assigner les ressources nécessaires pour les soigner; ou les services ambulanciers devraient peut-être embaucher et former du personnel pour traiter les patients dans les corridors des urgences. Quelle que soit l’approche adoptée, les hôpitaux et les préposés aux SMU doivent cesser de s’imputer mutuellement la responsabilité du problème et travailler à trouver des solutions.

Abstract:

The main purpose of the emergency medical system is a timely and appropriate response that significantly impacts health outcomes. In Thailand, due to lack of staff, emergency medical personnel at the dispatch center have to multitask to interview and dispatch the EMS responses. According to these problems the novel triage mobile application “Triagist” was developed based on Criteria Based Dispatch (CBD) to optimize prehospital care. This study is a pilot study aiming to test the app by evaluating the reliability and rapidity of code dispatching using “Triagist” compared with the usual method; ITEMS, Criteria Based Dispatch Handbook, or emergency medical personnel’ experiences only.A randomized-controlled crossover (AB/BA) design was conducted which compared mobile application “Triagist” and conventional methods. Eighteen experienced emergency medical personnel each were randomly assigned to AB or BA arm. The primary outcome measure was the accuracy and rapidity of code dispatching to 6 simulated scenarios among experienced emergency medical personnel. Using triage mobile application by experienced emergency medical personnel had gained a chance of correct dispatch 1.5 times, which was significantly more accurate than the conventional method (95%CI 1.03-2.28) and also significantly more rapid dispatch than the conventional method (82 vs 95 sec., p = 0.03)

Abstract:

One hundred fourteen emergency medical services agencies and 76 police chiefs throughout the United States were prospectively surveyed to ascertain the current utilization of police personnel within the prehospital care system. More than three fourths (77%) of the surveys mailed were completed. Respondents indicated the following: (1) a majority (92%) of police personnel were trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and basic first aid, (2) only half (57%) of police were trained in moving or transporting patients, and (3) few (36%) police were provided ongoing training in emergency pediatric medical skills. In spite of this, police were reportedly present at calls activating emergency medical services systems between 24% and 69% of the time, and the majority of these were trauma related. Police chiefs surveyed indicated that their officers played a large role in medical management prior to arrival of emergency medical services personnel; 87% would initiate cardiopulmonary resuscitation and 93% would begin basic first aid. Sixty-one percent of police chiefs indicated that officers would occasionally "scoop and run" with a critically ill child rather than await emergency medical services arrival. The data indicate that, right or wrong, police personnel are actively involved in their prehospital care system at present. In many instances, their help may be needed. Further thought should be given toward defining an exact emergency medical services role for police personnel and toward providing adequate initial and ongoing basic medical training for these individuals.

Abstract:

This study examined the correlation between the violence response, self-efficacy, and job satisfaction of emergency medical personnel in Gyeongsangbuk-do. A total of 250 personnel were selected between September and November 2021 from emergency medical institutions and fire stations. The results showed that the violence response scores reported by the participants were 2.58±0.897 points out of 5. The violence response was negatively correlated with job satisfaction. There was a positive correlation between self-efficacy and job satisfaction. Factors influencing job satisfaction were evaluated using multiple regression analysis. The results showed that violence response and self-efficacy affected the job satisfaction of emergency medical personnel, and the explanatory power was 33%. According to the research results, it is suggested to develop a violence prevention and management program that can enhance self-efficacy to overcome the violence experience and increase job satisfaction of emergency medical personnel.

Abstract:

Abstract Background When conventional approaches to obtain effective ventilation and return of effective spontaneous breathing fail, surgical airway is the last rescue option. Most physicians have a limited lifetime experience with cricothyrotomy, and it is unclear what method should be taught for this lifesaving procedure. The aim of this study is to compare the performance of medical personnel, naive to surgical airway techniques, in establishing an emergency surgical airway in cadavers using three commonly used cricothyrotomy techniques. Methods Twenty medical students, without previous knowledge of surgical airway techniques, were randomly selected from their class. After training, they performed cricothyrotomy by three techniques (surgical, Melker, and QuickTrach II) in a random order on 60 cadavers with comparable biometrics. The time to complete the procedure, rate of success, and number of complications were recorded. A success was defined as the correct placement of the cannula within the trachea in 3 min. Results The success rates were 95, 55, and 50% for surgical cricothyrotomy, QuickTrach, and Melker, respectively (P = 0.025). The majority of failures were due to cannula misplacement (15 of 20). In successful procedures, the mean procedure time was 94 ± 35 s in the surgical group, 77 ± 34 in the QuickTrach II group, and 149 ± 24 in the Melker group (P < 0.001). Few significant complications were found in successful procedures. No cadaver biometric parameters were correlated with success of the procedure. Conclusion Surgical airway–naive medical personnel establish emergency cricothyrotomy more efficiently and safely with the surgical procedure than with the other two commonly used techniques.

Abstract:

The occurrence of major public health crises, like the COVID-19 epidemic, present significant challenges to healthcare systems and the management of emergency medical resources worldwide. This study, by examining the practices of emergency medical resource management in select countries during the COVID-19 epidemic, and reviewing the relevant literature, finds that emergency hierarchical diagnosis and treatment systems (EHDTSs) play a crucial role in managing emergency resources effectively. To address key issues of emergency resource management in EHDTSs, we examine the features of EHDTSs and develop a research framework for emergency resource management in EHDTSs, especially focusing on the management of emergency medical personnel and medical supplies during evolving epidemics. The research framework identifies key issues of emergency medical resource management in EHDTSs, including the sharing and scheduling of emergency medical supplies, the establishment and sharing of emergency medical supply warehouses, and the integrated dispatch of emergency medical personnel. The proposed framework not only offers insights for future research but also can facilitate better emergency medical resource management in EHDTSs during major public health emergencies.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTBackground: When not managed properly, a hazardous material event can quickly extend beyond the boundaries of the initial release, creating the potential for secondary contamination of medical personnel, equipment, and facilities. Secondary contamination generally occurs when primary victims are not decontaminated or are inadequately decontaminated before receiving medical attention. This article examines the secondary contamination events reported to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) and offers suggestions for preventing such events.Methods: Data from the ATSDR Hazardous Substances Emergency Events Surveillance system were used to conduct a retrospective analysis of hazardous material events occurring in 17 states during 2003 through 2006 involving secondary contamination of medical personnel, equipment, and facilities.Results: Fifteen (0.05%) Hazardous Substances Emergency Events Surveillance events were identified in which secondary contamination occurred. At least 17 medical personnel were injured as a result of secondary contamination while they were treating contaminated victims. Of the medical personnel injured, 12 were emergency medical technicians and 5 were hospital personnel. Respiratory irritation was the most common injury sustained.Conclusions: Adequate preplanning and drills, proper decontamination procedures, good field-to-hospital communication, appropriate use of personal protective equipment, and effective training can help prevent injuries of medical personnel and contamination of transport vehicles and medical facilities.

Abstract:

As part of this work, an analysis of the existing scientific literature on the problem of sleep disorders and insomnia in medical personnel was carried out, which showed that the real problem in emergency medical personnel has not been studied enough — basically, the study of insomnia is carried out on patients and hospital staff. The article describes the results of a survey of emergency medical personnel for the presence of insomnia and the factors causing it, sleep disorders and the severity of insomnia in accordance with the Pittsburgh Sleep Disorders Index and the Insomnia Severity Index. The study involved 60 emergency medical personnel aged 23 to 67 years, of which 70 % were women. The main identified factors leading to the development of insomnia, presented in more than 45 % of respondents, are listed in descending order of importance: overload at work, the presence of bad habits, severe stress, the presence of children or relatives who constantly need care, low physical activity. The main factors influencing sleep disorders in 47 % of respondents were also identified: a feeling of pain, cold, a feeling of warmth in 53 %, night awakenings and toilet visits. All of the above factors affect the daily activities and emotional mood of employees, which affected the daily life of 92 % of employees. The data obtained as a result of the study indicate that 93 % of emergency medical personnel have sleep disorders of varying severity, and 21 % of them already have clinically pronounced insomnia.

Abstract:

Objective: Low back pain is one of the most important job injuries among emergency medical personnel. This study was carried out to investigate the prevalence of low back pain as well as its physical, mental and managerial predisposing factors among emergency medical personnel in Iran. Methods: In this analytical cross-sectional study we recruited 298 pre-hospital emergency medical personnel based on census sampling. Data were gathered using Nordic and a research-made questionnaire related to physical, mental and managerial back pain factors. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20. Descriptive and analytical tests including chisquare test were used appropriately. P value less than 0.05 was considered as the level of significance. Results: Findings showed that 46.3% of pre- hospital emergency technicians had a history of low back pain with different intensities. We observed a significant relationship between age, work experience, occupational-physical factors with low back pain (P>0.001). However, there was no significant relationship between occupational-managerial factors and mental-occupational factors with low back pain (P>0.05). Conclusion: Results show that the prevalence of back pain among emergency medical personnel is high. Identifying the factors associated with back pain can help the managers as well as the personnel to control the problem of back pain and increase employees’ productivity.
