简要总结
Prehospital management after road traffic crashes(RTC) is a predicting factor to patient outcomes especially in Low-Income Countries where emergency medical services are lacking. This may explain the high mortality related to RTC in Rwanda for instance, where the delay to reach the hospital of these victims was found as an independent factor to death . For that reason, this study hypothesizes that the training of non -professionals as commercial motorcyclists could help to reduce trauma-related mortality and morbidity in Rwanda.
The protocol general objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of road traffic crashes first -aid education on knowledge, attitudes, and practice among commercial motorcyclists in Kigali-City, Rwanda.
Hypotheses are:
- There is a difference in the baseline level of knowledge, attitudes, and practice on road crashes' first aid between the intervention and control groups of commercial motorcyclists.
- There is a relationship between socio-demographic characteristics and knowledge, attitudes, and practice' levels on first aid among commercial motorcyclists.
- There is a relationship between the education intervention and Knowledge, attitudes, and practice' level on first aid among commercial motorcyclists
详细描述
Specific objectives are:
- To differentiate the baseline level of knowledge, attitudes, and practice on road crashes' first aid on the intervention and control groups of commercial motorcyclists.
- To determine the relationship between socio-demographic characteristics of commercial motorcyclists and their level of knowledge, attitudes, and practice on first-aid.
- To evaluate the effect of road traffic crashes' first-aid education on knowledge, attitudes, and practice of commercial motorcyclists after the intervention, within and between the intervention and control group.
- Population: is the total number of commercial motorcyclists working in Kigali- City.
- Sample size: The sample of 100 participants per group, i.e. intervention and control was estimated based on similar studies and using the following formula:
n = {[z(1-α/2) *√2 P̄ (1- P̄)] + [z(1-β)*√P1(1-P1) + P2 (1-P2)]}2 (P1-P2)2 The total number of participants is 200.
- Study instrument:self-administered questionnaire
- Intervention group will receive road traffic crashes' first aid education module
- Control group will get the Tuberculosis prevention in working place as an education module

结局指标
主要结局
Change of knowledge on road traffic crashes first aid
时间窗: immediate post intervention and after 4 months
Knowledge outcome has ten close-ended questions assessing knowledge on first aid for road traffic crashes and each correct question will score one while the incorrect will score zero. Knowledge will be categorized into 3 categories: Good knowledge: refers to eight to ten correct answers out of ten. Fair knowledge: five to seven score out of ten whereas four and less out of ten is considered as low knowledge.
Change in reported practice toward first aid provision
时间窗: immediate post interventions and after 4 months
Regarding reported practice, four open questions will be given. The reported practice will refer to two clusters for correct and incorrect reported practices.
Change in attitudes on road traffic crashes first aid
时间窗: immediate post interventions and after 4 months
To assess attitudes, a five point likert scale on 7 questions will be done .( Strongly agree, agree , unsure, disagree ,and strongly disagree). Attitudes answers will be stratified into two groups: Strongly agree and agree will represent positive attitudes whereas disagree, unsure and strongly disagree will stand for negative attitudes
