Abstract
This study evaluated how a structured training program impacted healthcare providers' knowledge and attitudes in pediatric emergency care. During the study period, from February 1, 2025, to July 17, 2025, 125 participants from different hospitals in Iraq completed a Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) questionnaire focused on evidence-based protocols for dealing with pediatric crises. Training interventions included interactive workshops and simulations focused on evidence-based learning practices. Their scores were recorded before and after training for statistical analysis using t-tests. Healthcare providers' level of awareness of disorders was determined, and their level of awareness of disorders was accurately determined. This structure facilitates the understanding and use of disorders in practice, but also poses a barrier to implementing disorder awareness. The results in this study indicate that knowledge scores (from 3.2 to 4.5), attitudes toward following standards (confidence increased from 3.5 to 4.2), and practice modifications (guideline adherence increased from 2.9 to 4.0) all showed significant increases, according to the results. In addition to suggestions for continuing training and assistance, implementation barriers such as time constraints and lack of resources were noted. Ultimately, this study underscores the importance of ongoing education for improving patient outcomes and pediatric emergency care.
