评估急诊部(ED)员工对灾害和应急准备的知识、做法和态度。这项横断面研究在沙特阿拉伯王国利雅得市中心的三级卫生保健医院进行。采用自行管理的调查方法从急诊医生和护士那里收集数据。问卷分为5个部分，即人口统计学、灾害管理和备灾知识、对灾害规划的态度、当前的角色和做法以及对紧急情况的熟悉程度。189名参与者已经完成了问卷调查。三分之二的参与者年龄在30岁以下，超过85%的人是女性。111名(58.7%)有超过5年的临床经验，78名(41.3%)在沙特阿拉伯王国利雅得的三级护理医院有超过3年的临床服务。对灾害和应急准备知识的正确反应得分为6.2±2.5。具有5年以上经验的参与者在灾害和应急准备方面的知识量表得分具有统计学意义(p=0.009)。总体而言，186名患者(98.4%)认为培训对所有医护人员都是必要的。大约153名(81%)参与者报告在他们的医院进行了灾难演习。研究参与者对应急准备信息问卷(EPIQ)总体熟悉度的平均得分(Mean±SD)为3.2±1.3。在态度、实践和熟悉备灾的中性水平的医疗保健提供者中，知识水平是令人满意的。为了最大限度地做好急救准备，后续研究是必要的。

Participants with more than 5-years of experience had a statistically significant (p=0.009) knowledge scale score for disaster and emergency preparedness. Overall, 186 (98.4%) patients believed that training is necessary for all healthcare workers. Approximately 153 (81%) participants reported the conduct of disaster drill at their hospital. The mean score (Mean±SD) for the overall familiarity of the study participants with emergency preparedness information questionnaire (EPIQ) scale was 3.2±1.3.
