In spite of their good intentions, Emergency Medical Teams (EMTs) were relatively disorganized for many years. To enhance the efficient provision of EMT's field team work, the Training for Emergency Medical Teams and European Medical Corps (TEAMS) project was established. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness and quality of the TEAMS training package in 2 pilot training programs in Germany and Turkey. A total of 19 German and 29 Turkish participants completed the TEAMS training package. Participants were asked to complete a set of questionnaires designed to assess self-efficacy, team work, and quality of training. The results suggest an improvement for both teams' self-efficacy and team work. The self-efficacy scale improved from 3.912 (± 0.655 SD) prior to training to 4.580 (± 0.369 SD) after training (out of 5). Team work improved from 3.085 (± 0.591 SD) to 3.556 (± 0.339 SD) (out of 4). The overall mean score of the quality of the training scale was 4.443 (± 0.671 SD) (out of 5). In conclusion, The TEAMS Training Package for Emergency Medical Teams has been demonstrated to be effective in promoting EMT team work capacities, and it is considered by its users to be a useful and appropriate tool for addressing their perceived needs.
尽管 EMT(紧急医疗团队)有良好的初衷,但多年来他们的组织相对混乱。为了提高 EMT 现场团队工作的效率,设立了 EMT 培训和欧洲医疗队(TEAMS)项目。本研究旨在评估 TEAMS 培训包在德国和土耳其的 2 个试点培训计划中的有效性和质量。共有 19 名德国人和 29 名土耳其人完成了 TEAMS 培训包。要求参与者完成一套旨在评估自我效能、团队合作和培训质量的问卷。结果表明,两个团队的自我效能和团队合作都有所提高。自我效能量表从培训前的 3.912(±0.655 SD)提高到培训后的 4.580(±0.369 SD)(满分 5 分)。团队合作从 3.085(±0.591 SD)提高到 3.556(±0.339 SD)(满分 4 分)。培训质量的总体平均得分为 4.443(±0.671 SD)(满分 5 分)。总之,TEAMS 紧急医疗团队培训包已被证明能够有效提高 EMT 的团队合作能力,并且其用户认为它是解决他们感知到的需求的有用且合适的工具。
