We aimed to determine the level of knowledge of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) physicians on Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and medicolegal responsibilities in conjunction with related factors.
Fifty-three physicians (43 male, 10 females; mean age 39 years; range 28 to 50 years) employed in EMS were required to respond a questionnaire consisting of demographic data and educational background. They also answered 25 multiple-choice questions about BLS, ACLS and medicolegal responsibilities of physicians in a face-to-face manner. The data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U-test and Kruskal-Wallis Analysis of Variance test.
Mean level of knowledge was 45.4 on a hundred-point scale. Attendance to courses covering emergency aid and working as an ambulance physician for more than one year were associated with higher levels of knowledge (p=0.012; p=0.015).
In-service training should be undertaken to raise the level of knowledge of the physicians employed in rural EMS and to improve the quality of field care.
我们旨在确定急诊医疗服务（EMS）医生在基础生命支持（BLS）、高级心脏生命支持（ACLS）以及相关法律责任方面的知识水平，并探究相关因素。
要求53名受雇于EMS的医生（43名男性，10名女性；平均年龄39岁；年龄范围28至50岁）填写一份包含人口统计学数据和教育背景的问卷。他们还需当面回答25道关于医生BLS、ACLS和法律责任的多项选择题。使用曼-惠特尼U检验和克鲁斯卡尔-沃利斯方差分析对数据进行分析。
在百分制中，平均知识水平为45.4分。参加过急救课程培训以及担任救护车医生超过一年与较高的知识水平相关（p = 0.012；p = 0.015）。
应开展在职培训，以提高农村地区EMS医生的知识水平，改善现场护理质量。
