This study aimed to evaluate trauma care capabilities at the primary care level in Muscat, Oman, using World Health Organization guidelines.
This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted between January and March 2015 at eight primary health centres in Seeb. An English-language questionnaire was distributed to the medical officer or nurse in-charge at each centre to determine the number of staff, total population being served, number of emergency trauma cases and availability of ambulances. Subsequently, 10 doctors from each health centre were randomly selected to assess the availability of physical resources as well as their trauma skills and knowledge.
There were limited physical and human resources for the management of trauma and a complete absence of trauma administrative functions, such as local trauma registries or quality improvement activities.
This study highlighted the need to introduce national guidelines and improve the delivery of trauma services in Oman.
本研究旨在根据世界卫生组织的指南，评估阿曼马斯喀特一级医疗保健机构的创伤救治能力。
这是一项描述性的横断面研究，于 2015 年 1 月至 3 月在塞卜八个初级保健中心进行。向每个中心的值班医生或护士长分发了一份英文问卷，以确定工作人员人数、服务的总人口数、紧急创伤病例数和救护车的可用性。随后，从每个保健中心随机抽取 10 名医生，评估物质资源的可获得性以及他们的创伤技能和知识。
创伤管理的物质和人力资源有限，完全没有创伤行政职能，例如当地创伤登记处或质量改进活动。
本研究强调需要在阿曼引入国家指南并改善创伤服务的提供。
