Abstract
Background
Job analysis is a crucial process that identifies the skills and abilities needed for optimal job performance, with a focus on improving safety and public health outcomes. The Fleishman Job Analysis System is a useful tool for identifying these necessary skills in pre-hospital emergency care, which is the first point of contact for emergency medical services.
Objective
The purpose of this study identify the cognitive, psychomotor and sensory-perceptual abilities required for the role of pre-hospital emergency medical personnel.
Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted with pre-hospital emergency medical personnel as participants. Inclusion criteria included a minimum of 5 years of professional experience and voluntary participation. 50 individuals meeting the criteria were randomly selected. Data collection used the Fleishman Job Analysis Survey checklist, consisting of cognitive, psychomotor, and sensory-perceptual requirements rated on a 7-point Likert scale. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS27 software to calculate means, standard deviations, and frequency percentages for the results
Results
The study involved individuals with a mean age of 24.8 years and a standard deviation of 9.33 years.45% were in a marital relationship, 42% held a bachelor's degree, and their work schedule was 24 h of work followed by12 h of rest. Abilities scoring above 6 were considered high demand. In cognitive abilities, problem-solving and verbal articulation were key. Perceptual-affective abilities focused on auditory sensitivity and attention, while psychomotor abilities highlighted reaction time, speed regulation, manual dexterity, and arm coordination as crucial skills
Conclusions
Cognitive processing, motor coordination, and sensory perception are vital for quick and accurate decision making in emergencies. Coordinating these abilities effectively can significantly improve care quality in pre-hospital settings
