Objective: In this study, it was aimed to examine the relationship between paramedics' COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) patient management and their self-efficacy perceptions in the prehospital period. Materials and Methods: The research was conducted between October and November 2022 in descriptive-relational type. The sample of the research consisted of 120 students studying in the First and Emergency Aid Program of the Vocational School of Health Services of two universities. SocioDemographic Information Form, COPD knowledge level questionnaire and General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE) were used in the study. Results: More than half of the students are women, and approximately 70% have received training on chronic diseases. The COPD knowledge levels of the students were at a medium level and the GSE total score average was low. It was determined that the COPD knowledge level and the school variables had a significant positive effect on GSE (p<0.001). Conclusion: In our study, it was found that the COPD knowledge of the students was moderate and their self-efficacy was low. It was determined that the COPD knowledge level of the students was an important predictor of the GSE (p<0.001). Keywords: COPD, Paramedics, Pre-Hospital, Self-Efficacy, Student

ÖZ Amaç: Bu çalışmada hastane öncesi dönemde paramediklerin KOAH (Kronik Obstrüktif Akciğer Hastalığı) hasta yönetimi ile öz yeterlik algıları arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırma tanımlayıcı-ilişkisel tipte Ekim-Kasım 2022 tarihleri arasında yapıldı. Araştırmanın örneklemini, iki üniversitenin Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksekokulu İlk ve Acil Yardım Programı’nda okuyan 130 öğrenci oluşturdu. Araştırmada Sosyo-Demografik Bilgi Formu, KOAH bilgi düzeyi anket formu ve Genel Öz Yeterlik Ölçeği (GÖYÖ) kullanıldı. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin yarısından fazlası kadın, yaklaşık %70'i ise kronik hastalıklarla ilgili eğitim almıştır. Öğrencilerin KOAH bilgi düzeyleri orta seviyede olup GÖYÖ toplam puan ortalaması ise düşüktü. KOAH bilgi düzeyi ve okul değişkenin GÖYÖ üzerinde pozitif yönde önemli bir etkisi olduğu saptandı (p<0.001). Sonuç: Çalışmamızda öğrencilerin KOAH bilgisinin orta düzeyde ve öz yeterliklerinin düşük olduğu bulundu. Öğrencilerin KOAH bilgi düzeylerinin GÖYÖ üzerinde önemli bir yordayıcı olduğu saptandı (p<0.001). Anahtar Kelimeler: KOAH, Paramedikler, Hastane Öncesi, Öz Yeterlik, Öğrenci
