OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of a pediatric trauma course taught in a developing country.
STUDY DESIGN: A pediatric trauma course was designed with didactic presentations and reinforced with small group case discussions. Subjects included a general trauma overview, head trauma, airway/chest trauma, cervical spine trauma, abdominal trauma, shock, burns, and orthopedic injuries. Evaluation consisted of a pre- and post-course test and questionnaire assessing the participants' knowledge and level of comfort in managing trauma. Nine months after the course, the participants were evaluated with the same post-course test. Also a questionnaire was given to physician and nurse co-workers from the participating institutions, who themselves had not participated in the course, to assess the perceptual and attitudinal impact of the pediatric trauma course.
SETTING: Guatemala City, Guatemala.
PARTICIPANTS: Forty-three physicians from Central America.
RESULTS: Initial and nine-month post-test scores showed uniform improvement (P value < 0.05) when compared to pretest results using the Wilcoxon signed-ranks test. Analysis of the pre- and post-course questionnaires indicated that all participants felt more comfortable (scale 1 to 5) after the course managing pediatric trauma patients. All participants "strongly agreed" the course provided information that would improve their management of the pediatric trauma victim. Nine months after the course, 100% of their medical co-workers perceived physicians who participated in the pediatric trauma course to have better resuscitative skills, and 92% perceived these physicians to have a higher level of confidence.
CONCLUSION: This course, when presented to physicians in a developing country, appears to be effective in improving their knowledge base regarding pediatric trauma and increasing their comfort level in managing major pediatric trauma.
