A survey was conducted on 353 registered nurses working in Emergency and Trauma departments of district and provincial hospitals in Vietnam. Contents of the survey included first aid and initial care for burn and mass burn injuries. Only 15.3% of participants correctly answered over 50% of the items. The average percentage of correct answers was 39.7%. For cases of mass burn injuries, 53.6% of nurses recognized oral fluid resuscitation to be an appropriate method. Pre-transportation intubation for suspected inhalation injury was indicated by 44.6% of participants. Meanwhile, only 5.4% of nurses gave the correct answer regarding burn triage. A significantly higher knowledge level was recorded among nurses who had attended training courses in the past (54.8 ± 10.5% vs. 38 ± 9.7% respectively; p < .001). Meanwhile, work experience and place did not influence knowledge level. To improve the burn emergency management of nurses, further and continuing education is highly recommended.
对越南地区和省级医院急诊科和创伤科的353名注册护士进行了一项调查。调查内容包括烧伤和大规模烧伤的急救及初期护理。只有15.3%的参与者正确回答了超过50%的项目。正确答案的平均百分比为39.7%。对于大规模烧伤病例,53.6%的护士认为口服液体复苏是一种合适的方法。44.6%的参与者指出对疑似吸入性损伤进行转运前插管。与此同时,只有5.4%的护士对烧伤分诊给出了正确答案。过去参加过培训课程的护士知识水平显著更高(分别为54.8±10.5%和38±9.7%;p<.001)。同时,工作经验和工作地点不影响知识水平。为提高护士的烧伤应急管理能力,强烈建议开展进一步的继续教育。
