dc.description.abstractBACKGROUND: The Tashkent city, the capital of the republic of Uzbekistan, started joint project with Korean emergency physicians to improve the quality of their ambulance services in 2016. Ambulance service in Tashkent city has been facing challenges in processing a large number of calls, and low competency of their staff in providing advanced prehospital emergency care. To design an appropriate capacity building training program for ambulance staff, we analyzed the current ambulance service in Tashkent concerning resources and competency of the staff. METHODS: In this study, ambulance staff participated in the constructed survey and pre-validated written test. Statistics and other information were provided by the Ministry of Health of Uzbekistan. RESULTS: Ninety-eight ambulance staff were participated in this study, and more than half (53.1%) of the participants were physicians. The average years of service in the ambulance were 8.71+/-6.9 years. In the ambulance, drugs were stocked in enough quantity include injections for critical care, except large volume fluids for resuscitation. Only 19 to 52 percent of the ambulances were equipped with essential monitoring devices. Competency for the basic procedure was surveyed higher than 60%, but critical care skills, such as defibrillation, were as low as 18%. The written test resulted in only 41.1% correct answer rate, though it was higher than 60% in the validation test for Korean ambulance staff. Conventional prehospital knowledge and skillset deemed to be essential for ambulance staff were found to be marginal in the test. CONCLUSION: The ambulance staff in Tashkent, Uzbekistan found to have insufficient medical knowledge and clinical decision-making abilities. Training program for ambulance staff in Tashkent should be developed on the basis of the findings in this study.-
