Saudi paramedics face numerous challenges while providing care for adult trauma patients affecting their care but little is known about these specific challenges.
A qualitative study was conducted using a purposive sample of Saudi paramedics from the Saudi Red Crescent Authority (SRCA) across various cities. Data were collected through online semi-structured interviews and analyzed using the framework method.
A total of 20 paramedics were recruited and interviewed. They identified challenges in trauma response, including coordinating care, ensuring the accuracy and accessibility of patient information, and maintaining confidence and readiness. Participants emphasized the need for independent knowledge acquisition through courses, simulations, and peer discussions. They also highlighted the need for more paramedics, strategies to reduce burnout, and the importance of accurately assessing patient conditions. Additionally, they also stressed the importance of raising public awareness to enhance trauma care.
This study explored Saudi paramedics' experiences in managing adult trauma patients. standardized handovers, more staff, and greater public awareness are the main key needs to improve daily practice.
沙特护理人员在为成年创伤患者提供护理时面临诸多挑战，这些挑战影响着他们的护理工作，但对于这些具体挑战却知之甚少。
采用定性研究方法，从沙特各地城市的沙特红新月会（SRCA）中选取有目的的沙特护理人员样本。通过在线半结构化访谈收集数据，并使用框架法进行分析。
共招募并采访了20名护理人员。他们确定了创伤应对方面的挑战，包括协调护理、确保患者信息的准确性和可获取性，以及保持信心和准备状态。参与者强调需要通过课程、模拟和同行讨论来独立获取知识。他们还强调需要更多护理人员、减少职业倦怠的策略，以及准确评估患者病情的重要性。此外，他们还强调了提高公众意识以加强创伤护理的重要性。
本研究探讨了沙特护理人员在管理成年创伤患者方面的经验。标准化交接、更多工作人员和更高的公众意识是改善日常实践的主要关键需求。
