摘要：

Background: Emergency Medical Services (EMS) system in Armenia follows the Franco-German model in which physician - nurse dyads staff ambulances. This study aims to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of EMS nurses regarding pediatric rapid assessment and resuscitation. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, anonymous, self-administered survey study of a convenience sample of 200 out-of-hospital emergency nurses in June and July 2015. Results: Response rate was 87.5%. Half of respondents failed to achieve the pre-defined passing score of 70% on the 10-question knowledge test (sample mean 6.32 +/- 1.85 SD). Test score was positively correlated with pediatric training, current pediatric continuing medical education (CME), years with EMS and female gender. Questions regarding recognition of shock and initiation of neonatal and pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation were most frequently missed. Nurses were least confident in their ability to care for neonates and infants. 79.4% indicated that they would benefit from further pediatric training, and 86.1% indicated that knowledge from the Anglo-American model of emergency medicine could improve pediatric emergency care (PEC) in Armenia. Conclusions: There is a need for additional PEC training and continuing education for EMS nurses in Yerevan, Armenia. Training EMS nurses would improve first responder awareness of pediatric acute management and resuscitation and enhance the quality of emergency care of children.
