BackgroundThe variation in the implementation of chest trauma (CT) management's guidelines led to inconsistent and mixed experiences toward CT management by the health care team. Moreover, there is a scarcity of studies exploring factors that enhance CT management experiences worldwide and in Jordan.ObjectivesThe aims of this study were (1) to explore emergency health professionals' attitudes and experiences toward CT management and (2) to understand factors that affect the care for patients with CTs among emergency health professionals.MethodsA qualitative exploratory approach was adopted in this study. Individual, semistructured, face-to-face interviews were conducted with 30 emergency health professionals (physicians, nurses, and paramedics) from government emergency departments, military, private hospitals, and paramedics from the Civil Defense in Jordan.ResultsThe results showed that emergency health professionals had negative attitudes toward caring for patients with CTs due to a lack of knowledge and clarity in their job description and duties assigned to them. Moreover, some organizational and training factors were discussed for their impact on the attitudes of emergency health professionals toward caring for patients with CTs.ConclusionsLack of knowledge, absence of clear guidelines and job descriptions for dealing with traumas, and lack of continuous training on caring for patients with CTs were the most common reasons for negative attitudes. These findings can assist stakeholders, managers, and organizational leaders in understanding health care challenges and provoke a more focused strategic plan to diagnose and treat patients with CT.

“…However, the insertion and care of chest tubes demand a high level of expertise and skill to mitigate potential risks to the respiratory system. 3,4 Also known as intercostal catheters, chest tubes are pliable plastic tubes utilized for evacuating air (Pneumothorax), fluid (pleural effusion), blood, or purulent material (empyema) from the mediastinal cavity or pleural space. [5][6][7] Typically, these tubes remain in place post-thoracic or cardiac surgery until the output decreases to less than 150 ml in 24 hours, and any air leaks are resolved.…”

Objectives: Chest tubes play a critical role in managing intra-pleural pressure imbalances and preventing potentially fatal outcomes such as pulmonary collapse. The management of chest tubes is primarily the responsibility of nursing care in patients reliant on this intervention. This study aimed to assess the level of knowledge regarding chest tube management among critical care nurses at a tertiary care cardiac hospital in Karachi, Pakistan. Methodology: This descriptive cross-sectional study utilized a convenient sampling method, involving a sample size of n=120 participants. Data collection involved a structured questionnaire comprising demographic parameters followed by an 18-item questionnaire assessing knowledge of chest tube management. Knowledge scores were calculated as the percentage of correct responses to the 18 knowledge-related questions. Results: Among the 120 nurses surveyed, 59.2% (71) were male, 55% (66) were under 36 years of age, and 66.7% (80) had up to 10 years of work experience. Only 20% (24) had participated in training courses regarding thoracic diseases. The mean knowledge score was 57.3 ± 17.2, with 30% (36) categorized as having low knowledge (<50%), 65% (78) as moderate knowledge (50% to 80%), and 5% (6) as high knowledge (>80%). Conclusion: The study revealed a moderate level of knowledge concerning chest tube management among critical care nurses in a tertiary care cardiac center. There is a need for structured and comprehensive training programs focusing specifically on chest tube management to enhance nurses proficiency in this critical area of patient care.
