Abstract:Objective To survey and promote the first-aid ability of peacekeeping officers and soldiers when encountering burn emergency. Methods Totally, 700 peacekeeping officers and soldiers were surveyed and assessed on general knowledge about burn by self-designed questionnaire. Thereafter, they were educated on burn knowledge through multimedia teaching and live demonstrations by first aid experts. Six months later, they were re-assessed. Results Before the education intervention, the mean score of the peacekeeping officers and soldiers was 51.99±13.12. Years in army, education level, personnel category and source regions had no effect on the scores (P>0.05). After the intervention, their mean score was 80.52±17.58, significantly higher than that before (P<0.01). Education level and personnel category influenced their scores. The average score of those with college degree or above were significantly higher than that of those graduated from senior school or technical secondary school (P<0.01), and the mean score of the cadres was higher than that of the soldiers(P<0.05) and sergeants(P<0.01). Conclusions Before intervention, the peacekeeping officers’ and soldiers’ knowledge about burn emergency isn’t qualified. Advanced training approaches and learning enthusiasm under quasi state of war can significantly promote their first-aid ability in burn emergency.
