Area of Science:

  • Medical Training and Education
  • Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
  • Rural Healthcare Delivery

Background:

  • Rural communities heavily depend on volunteer firefighters and EMS personnel for emergency response.
  • A significant challenge in rural EMS is the lack of adequate medical direction.
  • Firefighters often arrive at emergency scenes minutes before EMS, highlighting a critical skills gap.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of enhanced emergency response skills training on volunteer firefighters.
  • To measure changes in confidence levels among rural firefighter and EMS personnel post-training.
  • To evaluate the potential of cross-trained firefighters in improving rural emergency healthcare.

Main Methods:

  • A study was conducted in Parkston, South Dakota, with approximately 30 volunteer firefighters and EMS personnel.
  • Three training sessions were provided, focusing on various emergency response skills.
  • Pre- and post-training surveys measured confidence levels using a five-point scale, with statistical analysis performed.

Main Results:

  • All training stations, except for two on the second night, showed a statistically significant increase in mean confidence levels.
  • The training effectively improved participants' confidence in handling diverse emergency response scenarios.
  • Data indicated a positive impact of the training on skill acquisition and confidence.

Conclusions:

  • Continued rural training sessions for firefighters significantly enhance their confidence and skills.
  • Empowering firefighters with advanced emergency skills is vital given declining EMS and firefighter numbers.
  • This approach offers substantial value for the evolution of rural emergency healthcare and response capabilities.
