To identify barriers to compliance with paediatric clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) in emergency departments in rural and regional New South Wales (NSW), Australia, and to propose strategies to increase their use.
Cross-sectional survey.
Ten emergency departments in rural and regional NSW.
Fifty medical officers.
Use of clinical practice guidelines and perceived barriers to their usage.
Only 22% of medical officers reported that they used the CPGs frequently when managing sick children. Major barriers to the use of CPGs were a lack of awareness of their existence, a lack of training in their use and poor access to the guidelines in printed or electronic format.
In order to increase compliance with the paediatric CPGs, medical officers in rural and regional NSW require further training and education. The CPGs need to be readily available in either printed or electronic format.

横断面调查。
新南威尔士州农村和地区的10个急诊科。
50名医务人员。
临床实践指南的使用情况及其使用中感知到的障碍。
只有22%的医务人员报告称,在诊治患病儿童时他们经常使用CPGs。使用CPGs的主要障碍包括对其存在缺乏认识、缺乏使用培训以及难以获取印刷版或电子版指南。
为了提高对儿科CPGs的遵循程度,新南威尔士州农村和地区的医务人员需要进一步培训和教育。CPGs应以印刷版或电子版形式随时可供获取。
