Abstract

            This study was a part of the research on the development of health database system of patients with cardiac arrest in emergency medical service system of Thailand in new normal era which adopted an action research design. This study aimed to develop and evaluate suitability of the electronic record form for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients.
            The subjects were 120 health professions consisted of physicians and registered nurses working at emergency rooms/ambulances, paramedics, advanced emergency medical technicians of Police General Hospital, Lerdsin Hospital, Taksin Hospital, Nopparat Rajathanee Hospital, and Charoenkrung Pracharak Hospital. The participants were selected using snowball sampling. The instruments composed of demographic data and suitability evaluation form of electronic record form for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients. Validity was tested by using index of item objective congruence with a value between 0.57 - 1. Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) with inter-rater reliability was applied and received a confidence score of 0.85. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.
            The results demonstrated the following:
            1) The electronic record form was 47 items divided into 7 sections consisting of: 1) time and distance data, 2) data of patients, 3) events data, 4) pre-Emergency Medical Services (EMS) First Aids, 5) Emergency Medical Service treatment at the scene, 6) Referral to emergency department, and 7) results of treatment.
            2) The total suitability of the electronic record form of Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest Patients was at a high level (Mean = 4.62, SD = 0.46)
