Knowledge Level of Residents of A Tertiary Care Center in Somalia Regarding Adult Life Support

Öz

Aim: This study aimed to assess the knowledge level of resident doctors in clinics at the Somalia Mogadishu Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Training and Research Hospital concerning Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Life Support (ALS). Methods: A total of 102 residents, actively engaged in the clinical practice, voluntarily participated in the study. Participants completed a questionnaire encompassing demographic data and 34 objective questions measuring knowledge levels about BLS and ALS. The questionnaire responses were analyzed, comparing the results across different clinics. Results: Among the 102 participants, 84 were male and 18 were female resident doctors. Age distribution analysis revealed that 58 participants were aged between 26 and 30 years or older. Most of the resident doctors (n=10) were working in emergency medicine and gynecology (n=10). Regarding professional experience, the highest proportion (n=36) had less than one year of work experience. Statistical analyses revealed no significant differences in correct answers between female and male residents (p=0.58, p=0.34), between medical and surgical departments (p=0.31, p=0.34), or based on years of professional experience (p=0.69, p=0.65). Conclusions: Periodic informative training on adult life support should be provided to all resident doctors. This approach will substantially enhance knowledge levels and service quality in applying adult life support.
