Epistaxis, a global Otorhinolaryngology emergency, often requires hospital admission, posing health concerns for all ages. Evaluating medical students' knowledge helps identify strengths and areas for improvement, ensuring future healthcare providers are well-prepared. Our study aimed to assess knowledge on first add management of epistaxis among medical students of a medical college.
This descriptive cross sectional study was conducted among medical students in Birat Medical College Teaching Hospital after ethical approval was obtained. Data was collected electronically using google form from 109 medical students from 15 January 2024 to 15 March 2024.
The mean age of students was 20.71±1.44 years. The mean knowledge score of first aid management of epistaxis was 11.33± 5.24. Out of all students, 68 (62.38%) students had above-average knowledge on first aid management of epistaxis.
The study emphasizes the varied knowledge levels among first and second-semester medical students regarding epistaxis. While more than half demonstrated above-average understanding, targeted educational interventions are warranted.
鼻出血是一种全球范围内的耳鼻喉科急症，通常需要住院治疗，这对各个年龄段的人都构成了健康问题。评估医学生的知识有助于确定优势和改进领域，确保未来的医疗保健提供者做好充分准备。我们的研究旨在评估一所医学院的医学生对鼻出血初步急救管理的知识。
在获得伦理批准后，于比拉特医学院教学医院对医学生进行了这项描述性横断面研究。从2024年1月15日至2024年3月15日，使用谷歌表单以电子方式从109名医学生那里收集数据。
学生的平均年龄为20.71±1.44岁。鼻出血急救管理的平均知识得分为11.33±5.24。在所有学生中，68名（62.38%）学生在鼻出血急救管理方面具有高于平均水平的知识。
该研究强调了第一学期和第二学期医学生在鼻出血知识水平上的差异。虽然超过一半的学生表现出高于平均水平的理解，但仍需要有针对性的教育干预措施。
