Due to face the complicated scenarios and illness, the E.M.T.s always need in-service training to enhance their ability. This study aimed at the study of the need and relative influent factors for E.M.T. in-service training, such as E.M.T. personal background, training modulus, and contents of training course.
Our research design adopted cross-sectional survey method, and used overall interviews toward all E.M.T.-2(Emergency Medical Technician – Class 2)who are the main force nowadys in New Taipei City Fire Department as our research basis, and then used the self-constructed structured questionnaire as the study tool. This questionnaire has already been well tested and verified by face, expertise content validity and internal consistency reliability test. Through descriptive statistics - t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Chi-square test to analyze the variation for E.M.T. personal background, training modulus and contents of training course.
The study revealled four major findings: Firstly, we found that E.M.T.s regard the time arrangement as the most important part for training course, and the highest Demand for teaching methods are practical operations. Moreover, they prefer case study as their training practice and they like emergency department doctors to be their instructors, and the most requirements for contents of training course are evaluation and treatment for patients.
Secondly, for training modulus, E.M.T.s who serve in the ALS (advanced life support) unit or those BLS (basic life support) units which serve frequency is over 300 times per month expressed a significantly higher need for practical operation in the teaching method and specialty doctors for instructors’ backgrounds.
Thirdly, in the aspect of contents of training course, E.M.T.s who serve in the ALS unit or those BLS (basic life support) units which serve frequency is over 300 times per month expressed a significantly higher need for advanced directive med ical processes, the relevant laws, ALS skills and emotional management ... etc.
Finally, we hope the study results could contribute an evidence-based foundation toward E.M.T. in-service training program, and maybe take it as a reference to improve the quality of the E.M.T. in-service education by fire departments in the future.
