Background Trauma is one of the major public health concerns clamming about five million death annually worldwide. Experience and confidence of a doctor in the management of trauma patients have big impact on the overall outcome. Objective This study aims to evaluate the outcome of a trauma course in improving the knowledge, skill and confidence of novice doctors in managing trauma victims. Method A pre/post test analytical study was carried out among novice medical doctors from Kathmandu University School of Medical Science (KUSMS) who participated in a standard two and a half day trauma course, that utilizes the principles of ABCDE, as a part of their regular training. Pre-course knowledge and skill were compared with immediate post-course scores on the same guidelines. Objective structured and subjective written feedbacks from the participants were analyzed qualitatively to identify the perceptions of candidates. Result Sixty-eight males and twenty-nine females completed the course. The average pre-test scores in knowledge and skill were 8.3(33.2%) and 19.6(78.5%) respectively. Similarly the post-test scores were 16.04(64.2%) and 22.45 (89.5%) respectively, showing statistically significant improvements (P 0.000). The mean percentage improvement in knowledge was 48.8% and that in skill was 160.9%. The feedback analysis showed majority of the participants were satisfied with the course and they perceived improved "self-confident" in handling trauma cases. Conclusion All the novice doctors should participate in a standard trauma course hence their knowledge, skill and confidence in handling a trauma can be improved. |
