| Abstract |
Purpose
This study aimed to analyze the knowledge of seizures among 119 emergency medical technicians (EMTs), evaluate the educational needs regarding seizures among them, and analyze areas for improvement in the prehospital emergency care of patients with seizures. Additionally, it provides foundational data to enhance the quality of prehospital emergency care for patients with seizures.
Methods
From September 8, 2023 to September 13, 2023 questionnaires were distributed among 119 EMTs working in the Gyeonggi-do area, and 151 copies were used, excluding 14 that were incomplete out of 165 copies recovered.
Results
The average seizure knowledge score of the 119 EMTs was 25.33±2.97, and the video score was 1.74±0.88. Of the 119 EMTs, 99.3% reported that they required training on seizures. A total of 40.5% mentioned "administration of intramuscular anticonvulsants" and 38.9% mentioned "administration of intravenous anticonvulsants" as areas for improvement in pre-hospital first-aid for seizures.
Conclusion
These data show the opinions of a subset of 119 EMTs; therefore, a larger sample size of 119 EMTs is required. Although 119 EMTs have a high demand for education regarding patients with seizures, no set training exists; therefore, a video-based training system is required. Institutional discussions regarding first-aid for patients with pre-hospital seizures are warranted. |
