During the occurrence of accidents and disasters, the role of hospitals and healthcare centers is very sensitive and they are among the first units that with their quick, optimal, and timely healthcare services provision can reduce mortality and increase the number of survivors. For this purpose, this study was conducted to investigate the knowledge, attitude, and level of preparedness of operating room technologists of educational hospitals of Zahedan University of Medical Sciences in relation to disasters.
The present research is a cross-sectional descriptive study that was conducted with the participation of 60 operating room technologists of Zahedan educational hospitals from January 2022 to December 2022. The sampling was performed by the census method. The data collection tool was a demographic characteristic and a researcher-made questionnaire for the assessment of attitude, knowledge, and preparation against the occurrences of accidents and disasters was completed during 2 months by referring the researcher to the hospitals. For the data analysis, descriptive statistics and analytical statistical tests were used. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 26. Corp., Armonk, NY, USA. The significance level was considered < 0.05.
The results showed that the average scores of attitude, preparation, and knowledge are 9.3 ± 6.1, 75.8 ± 9.9, and 5.7 ± 4.1, respectively, and the majority of operating room technologists have a favorable level towards attitude and have relatively favorable level towards preparation and knowledge during the occurrence of disasters. The average score of knowledge and attitude of operating room technologists with work history had a significant difference from each other ( < 0.05). technologists with less work experience have more knowledge and a more positive attitudedisaster.
Measuring the level of knowledge, attitude, and preparedness of surgical technologists to deal with disasters as one of the ways of receiving feedback from employee training can be a useful reflection of the success of training programs in creating the necessary capabilities in various fields of disaster preparedness, and it can be a powerful tool for increasing individual and group dynamics and organizing individual learning in coping training. Furthermore, disaster education should be incorporated into the operating room curriculum, which would play a seminal role in preparing them for future disaster management. It is also suggested to investigate the impact of intelligent training on the level of knowledge, attitude, and preparation of operating room personnel regarding disasters and obstacles in this regard in future research.
在事故和灾难发生期间，医院和医疗保健中心的作用非常关键，它们是首批能够通过快速、优化和及时提供医疗服务来降低死亡率并增加幸存者数量的单位之一。为此，本研究旨在调查扎赫丹医科大学教学医院的手术室技术人员在灾害方面的知识、态度和准备水平。
本研究为横断面描述性研究，于2022年1月至2022年12月在扎赫丹教学医院的60名手术室技术人员参与下进行。采用普查法进行抽样。数据收集工具包括人口统计学特征和研究人员自制的问卷，用于评估对事故和灾难发生的态度、知识和准备情况，研究人员在2个月内通过走访医院完成问卷。数据分析使用描述性统计和分析性统计测试。数据使用美国纽约州阿蒙克市IBM公司的SPSS Statistics 26进行分析。显著性水平设定为<0.05。
结果显示，态度、准备和知识的平均得分分别为9.3±6.1、75.8±9.9和5.7±4.1，大多数手术室技术人员在灾害发生期间对态度有良好水平，对准备和知识有相对良好水平。有工作经验的手术室技术人员的知识和态度平均得分存在显著差异（<0.05）。工作经验较少的技术人员有更多知识和更积极的态度应对灾难。
测量外科技术人员应对灾难的知识、态度和准备水平，作为从员工培训中获得反馈的一种方式，能够有效反映培训计划在培养灾害准备各领域必要能力方面的成功程度，并且是增强个人和团队动力以及在应对培训中组织个人学习的有力工具。此外，应将灾害教育纳入手术室课程，这将对他们未来的灾害管理准备发挥重要作用。还建议在未来研究中调查智能培训对手术室人员在灾害方面的知识、态度和准备水平的影响以及这方面的障碍。
