Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In our opinion, there is a need for improved research in the field of prehospital care. This involves research in prehospital treatment, emergency medical service, in-hospital emergency medical care (emergency room) and emergency public health. There are many barriers in prehospital research due to the complex context, posing unique challenges for research, development, and evaluation. This Special Issue will highlight the current state of the art and showcase some of the latest findings in emergency prehospital care.

Our Special Issue aims to allow researchers to publish original research articles, meta-analyses and review articles related to recent advances in the prehospital emergency field. Potential topics for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, novel methods for the prehospital management of patients in acute illness and new technologies in emergency medicine.

Parental psychological distress has been identified as a predisposing factor in attendance at and the inappropriate use of hospital pediatric emergency departments (PEDs). The aim of the study was to validate the Parental Stress Scale (PSS), a 12-item Spanish scale, in parents seeking care at PEDs. The study involved 270 participants with a mean age of 37.9 (SD = 6.76) years, of which 77.4% were women. The properties of the PSS were analyzed. The scale showed adequate internal consistency for the different factors (0.80 for the “Stressors” factor and 0.78 for the “Baby’s Rewards” factor) and optimal model fit (chi-square = 107.686; df = 53; CFI = 0.99; TLI = 0.98; RMSEA = 0.028; 90% CI = 0.00–0.05). The 12-item Spanish version of the PSS is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing the stress levels of parents seeking care in PEDs. Full article

Trauma is one of the leading causes of death in the world, being the main cause of death in people under 45 years old. The epidemiology of these deaths shows an important peak during the first hour after a traumatic event. Therefore, learning how to manage traumatic injuries in a prehospital setting is of great importance. Medical students from Universidad Autónoma performed 66 different simulations to stabilize a trauma patient on a prehospital scene by using a web-based trauma simulator. Then, a panel of trauma experts evaluated the simulations performed, observing that, on average, an important number of simulations were scored below 5, being the score values provided from 0, minimum, to 10, maximum. Therefore, the first need detected is the need to further train prehospital trauma management in undergraduate education. Additionally, a deeper analysis of the scores provided by the experts was performed. It showed a great dispersion in the scores provided by the different trauma experts per simulation. Therefore, a second need is identified, the need to develop a system to objectively evaluate trauma management. Full article
