Abstract
Trauma is the leading cause of mortality in young adults. Many such deaths are preventable if patients are treated effectively. The term ”golden hour” is commonly used to characterize the urgent need for the care of trauma patients. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of an educational program on nurses’ performance during the golden hour of care for traumatized patients and assess relative outcome of an educational program on traumatized patient and assess relative outcome of educational program on traumatized patient condition after golden hour. Data were collected from one setting; the emergency departments unite of El-Sahel Teaching Hospital. The study was conducted on forty adult patients Post Trauma in the Golden hour after admission to hospital and forty Emergency nurses from the same hospital setting which have been selected to the program pre, post and follow up. Data were collected through: (1) A Questionnaire sheet to assess the nurse’s knowledge about traumatized patients. (2) An Observational checklist to assess the nurse’s performance pre, post and follow up of the training program. (3) Likert scale sheet to assess the nurse’s attitude toward traumatized patients. (4) Patient assessment sheet to assess the patient’s condition post trauma. (5) An educational program for nurses along side with a Arabic Book let around all sessions of the training program. Results of this study showed that, there is significant difference between the pre, post and follow up period interaction to nurse’s knowledge and performance regarding Post traumatic patients. The physical and psychological conditions had been affected by disease, but they had improved more among the study group after implementation of training program than the nurses under study post training program. So this study concluded that an educational program that improved the nurses’ knowledge, performance and their attitude toward traumatized patient, also improved the patient outcome in relation to decrease incidence of complication and decrease their mortality rate. Increasing the number of highly qualified and specialized nurses was highly recommended to accompany the rapid increasing number of traumatized patients.
