Introduction: Crises are inevitable, making crisis management essential. Immediate operational actions, including physical and psychological first aid, are crucial for a balanced and effective crisis response.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the impact of crisis operational training for high-traffic incidents on the attitudes of medical staff within Aja ground forces medical battalions.
Materials and Methods: This semi-experimental study, conducted in 2024, investigated medical personnel in Aja military centers. Sixty-two participants were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group received medical and psychological first aid training via a combined face-to-face, virtual, and role-playing approach. Data were collected using a demographic profile form and a researcher-developed questionnaire assessing attitudes toward high-injury incidents. SPSS version 21 was used for data analysis.
Results: The average attitude score of the participants before the intervention was 74.22±9.67 in the experimental group and 75.41±7.87 in the control group, which was not statistically significant (P=0.59). After the intervention, it reached 81.61±9.12 in the experimental group and 76.54±8.00 in the control group, which was a significant difference (P=0.024). The changes in the mean attitude score of the participants from the pre-test to the post-test were significant (P=0.013) but not significant in the control group (P=0.55).
Conclusion: Training on operational elements of crisis in a combined method (face-to-face, virtual, and role-playing) is useful in improving the attitude of medical personnel. It is suggested that this intervention be used to improve the attitude of military personnel in providing physical and psychological first aid in high-injury incidents. |
