Abstract

Purpose: Curricula for surgical residents should include training in trauma care; however, such training is absent in many low income countries. At the largest surgical training institution in Ethiopia, a trauma training program was developed, integrated into the existing surgical curriculum, and implemented. This study was conducted to evaluate the trainees' response to the new program.

Methods: Over a 5-month period, 35 first-year surgical residents participated in weekly trauma care training sessions. The program included journal clubs, practical sessions, didactic sessions, and case-based discussions. Six months after the conclusion of the training, changes in knowledge, attitude, and practices were evaluated through a self-report survey.

Results: For knowledge-based items, the survey data revealed reported improvements in 83.8% to 96.8% of students. Furthermore, 90.3% to 93.5% of participants indicated improvements in practice, while 96.7% exhibited a change in attitude. Respondents reported that attending didactic courses improved their presentation skills and facilitated the acquisition of knowledge. They suggested the inclusion of additional practical sessions.

Conclusions: Training structures that are simple to implement are crucial for residency programs with limited resources. Such programs can be developed using existing academic staff and can aid residents in delivering improved care to trauma patients.

在埃塞俄比亚为一年级外科住院医师开展结构化创伤培训:在低收入国家开展的一项新颖试点计划。
目的:外科住院医师的课程应包括创伤护理培训;然而,许多低收入国家却没有此类培训。埃塞俄比亚最大的外科培训机构制定了一项创伤培训计划,并将其纳入现有的外科课程中加以实施。本研究旨在评估学员对新项目的反应:在为期 5 个月的时间里,35 名一年级外科住院医师参加了每周一次的创伤护理培训课程。培训内容包括期刊俱乐部、实践课程、教学课程和病例讨论。培训结束 6 个月后,通过自我报告调查评估了学员在知识、态度和实践方面的变化:调查数据显示,83.8% 至 96.8%的学员在知识方面有所提高。此外,90.3%至 93.5%的参与者表示在实践中有所改进,96.7%的参与者表示在态度上有所改变。受访者表示,参加说课课程提高了他们的表达能力,促进了知识的获取。他们建议增加实践课程:对于资源有限的住院医师培训项目来说,简单易行的培训结构至关重要。这些计划可以利用现有的学术人员来制定,并能帮助住院医师为创伤患者提供更好的护理。
