Nursing research in profile

Emergency clinicians’ knowledge, preparedness and experi ences of managing COVID-19 during the 2020 global pandemic in Australian healthcare settings Li, C., Sotomayor-Castillo, C., Nahidi, S., Kuznetsov, S., Considine, J., Curtis, K., Fry, M., Morgan, D., Walker, T., Burgess, A., Carver, H., Doyle, B., Tran, V., Varshney, K., & Shaban, R. Z. (2021). Emergency clinicians’ knowledge, preparedness and experiences of managing COVID-19 during the 2020 global pandemic in Australian healthcare settings. Australasian Emergency Care. 10.1016/j.auec.2021.03.008 This study examined the knowledge, preparedness and experiences of Australian emergency nurses, emergency physicians and paramedics in managing COVID-19. A cross-sectional survey of members of the College of Emergency Nursing Australasia, the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine, and the Australasian College of Paramedicine was conducted. Results: 159 emergency nurses, 110 emergency physicians and 161 paramedics, 67.3-78% from each group indicated that their current knowledge of COVID- 19 was ‘good to very good’. The most frequently accessed source of COVID-19 information was from state department of health websites. Respondents in each group (77.6-86.4%) received COVID-19 specific training and education, including personal protective equipment (PPE) usage. About 30% of paramedics reported that their workload ‘had lessened’ while 36.4 -40% of emergency nurses and physicians stated that their workload had ‘considerably increased’. Concerns raised included transmission of COVID-19 to family, public complacency, and PPE availability. Implications: Regular consistent communications, extensive COVID-19 training and education, and adequate support enabled emergency clinicians to feel prepared to manage COVID-19 patients.
