General knowledge of Jordanian healthcare providers about burn first aid-management.

First aid is defined as emergency procedure that taken by individual to preserve the life of other individuals when they suddenly injured and it aims to reduce the complications of these injuries. The aim of this study was to assess the level of knowledge about burn first aid management among Jordanian healthcare providers. A cross-sectional study was carried out between February and July 2024 using a sample of healthcare professionals who are currently working in Jordan. Multiple logistic regression was performed to define predictors of good knowledge of burn. A total of 383 participants were included in the analysis. The total mean score for the sample was 26.58 ± 4.05 out of 33, indicating a moderate level of knowledge. A total of 52.1% had a poor knowledge. Gender shows a borderline significant association, with females having lower odds compared with males (odds ratios [OR] = 0.64, 95% confidence intervals [CI]: 0.41-1.00, P = .05). Additionally, specialty is a significant predictor: general practitioners (OR = 3.24, 95% CI: 1.24-8.49, P = .017), family medicine specialists (OR = 3.76, 95% CI: 1.37-10.36, P = .010), and general surgeons (OR = 8.96, 95% CI: 1.85-43.33, P = .006) have significantly higher knowledge compared with nonphysician. This study showed a moderate general understanding of burn first aid among healthcare providers, with more than half exhibiting inadequate knowledge. Gender and specialty were recognized as significant determinants, with males and physicians, especially general surgeons, demonstrating elevated levels of expertise.
