| description | Background: House officers are often the first responder involved in hospital
management of emergency situations. We noticed some of them are hesitant in providing
resuscitation. Therefore, we aim to evaluate knowledge in general resuscitation, attitude
and confidence level in general resuscitation in emergency situations and identify its
associated factors. Materials and method: A cross-sectional study was conduct among
house officers from 27 May 2018 to 31 December 2018 in Hospital Universiti Sains
Malaysia (HUSM), using a validated questionnaire. One-hundred house officers
consented and completed the questionnaire were included. Fourteen incomplete
questionnaires were excluded. Descriptive analysis, simple and multiple logistic
regression analysis were performed via SPSS version24.0. P-value < 0.05 were
considered to be statistically significant. Result: Only 35% house officers showed
adequate knowledge, 24% were confident in performing resuscitation and 97% had
positive attitude toward learning resuscitation. House officer received trauma life support
training during housemanship (adjusted OR:10.9,95%CI : 1.197 to 99.240, p-value:
0.034)and had ≥10 times clinical exposure to CPR( adjusted OR: 3.933, CI95% : 1.249
to 12.385, p-value : 0.019) more likely to have adequate knowledge compared to those
had not. Conclusion: Overall, house officers have lack of knowledge and confidence in
resuscitation. However, most of them had positive attitude toward learning resuscitation.
Frequent assessment, revision, refreshment of updated guideline and resuscitation
technique at regular interval is necessary to improve their knowledge and confident level
in resuscitation. |
