The Impact of Communication Between Paramedics and Nurses on the Speed of Medical Response in Emergency Situations

Abstract

Aim: The current research aimed to measure the impact of communication between paramedics and nurses on the speed of medical response in emergency situations. The study was applied to a sample of 357 individuals working in the emergency departments in Taif city. The study concluded with the following findings: The results showed that good communication between paramedics and nurses had a direct positive impact on the speed of medical response in emergency situations. Teams with effective communication were better able to provide rapid and accurate treatment in critical situations. Effective coordination between paramedics and nurses has been shown to help reduce medical errors and increase the efficiency of care delivery. Teams that used integrated communication systems (such as wireless devices or digital apps) were more efficient in carrying out necessary medical steps quickly.

    The study recommended The researcher recommends developing training programs for paramedics and nurses that focus on improving interpersonal communication skills in emergency teams. These programs could include training on active listening, crisis management, and giving clear instructions under pressure. It is essential to establish clear mechanisms for coordination between paramedics and nurses in emergency rooms or during transportation to hospitals. These mechanisms should include a clear sequence of medical steps and direct communication methods.
