THE EFFECT OF MODIFIED TEAM-BASED LEARNING METHOD ON MANAGEMENT SKILLS OF URMIA EMERGENCY MEDICAL PERSONNEL IN TRAUMA PATIENTS

The issue of trauma in modern and industrial societies today is one of the most
important issues and problems that have been considered in most countries. Because pre-hospital care
is the first component of a trauma care system, doing it right can reduce the problems of long-term
disability as well as deaths from trauma. Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the
effect of training based on a modified team-based learning method on trauma patient management skills
by Urmia emergency medical personnel in 2020.
Materials & Methods: The present study was a before and after clinical trial study in two groups during
which 98 technicians of Urmia Emergency Center were selected by stratified random sampling method.
Sample members were randomly divided into intervention and control groups. In the intervention group,
trauma patient management skills were taught by a modified team-based learning method. The tools
used to collect information included two sections: demographic information and a trauma assessment
skills checklist. The results were analyzed using SPSS software version 17.
Results: The results of analysis of variance test with repeated measures showed a significant difference
between intervention and control groups in learning trauma patient management skills (p <0.001) which
was determined by examining the effect of test repetition and the effect of interaction. The changes of
the studied variable in TBL groups were significantly more than the control group (p <0.001).
Conclusion: The results of the current study showed that training based on a modified team-based
learning method is effective and improves personnel readiness in this field.
