Abstract

BACKGROUND Although burn-related injuries are serious and can cause significant morbidity and mortality, this can be alleviated through the appropriate practice of first aid for burns. We aimed to explore the practice of first aid and measure the level of knowledge of burns and burn-related nutrition in Saudi Arabia. Methods Data were collected using an online questionnaire, distributed among the general Saudi population between Jul and Sep 2020. It included socioeconomic and biographical data, and knowledge and practice of first aid for burns and burn-related nutrition. Data were analyzed using SPSS. Results Overall, 2437 people were enrolled in this study, of which 59.5% were female. More than half (51.9%) the subjects were between 19 and 25 yr of age. Younger age group (≤25 yr) showed a significantly better practices score (t=4.844; P<0.001). Females exhibited a significantly better knowledge score than males (t=-3.131; P=0.021). Unemployed respondents were significantly more associated with a lower knowledge score (t=4.796; P=0.007) and a lower practices score (t=18.375; P<0.001) while those with a history of exposure to burn injury had a lower knowledge score (t=-4.816; P<0.001) and a lower practices score (t=-3.237; P=0.001). Conclusion There is a lack of knowledge and practice of burn’s first aid and burn-related nutrition. Thus, courses and training in first aid for burns and awareness campaigns are essential in order to improve the knowledge of the general Saudi population.

2437名居民烧伤急救和烧伤相关营养:沙特阿拉伯全国调查
背景尽管与烧伤相关的损伤很严重,会导致显著的发病率和死亡率,但通过适当的烧伤急救实践可以缓解这种情况。我们旨在探索沙特阿拉伯的急救实践,并测量烧伤和烧伤相关营养的知识水平。方法使用在线问卷收集数据,问卷于2020年7月至9月在沙特普通人群中分发。它包括社会经济和传记数据,烧伤急救和烧伤相关营养的知识和实践。使用SPSS对数据进行分析。结果本研究共有2437人参加,其中女性占59.5%。超过一半(51.9%)的受试者年龄在19至25岁之间。年轻年龄组(≤25岁)的实践得分显著高于男性(t=4.844;P<0.001)。女性的知识得分显著优于男性(t=-3.131;P=0.021)。失业受访者与较低的知识得分(t=4.796;P=0.007)和较低的实践得分(t=18.375;P<0.001低知识分(t=-4.816;P<0.001)和低实践分(t=-3.237;P=0.001)。因此,烧伤急救课程和培训以及提高认识运动对于提高沙特普通民众的认识至关重要。
