Abstract
This study assessed the readiness of Level IV student nurses to provide emergency
e in pre-hospital settings following vehicular and pedestrian accidents. Utilizing a
quantitative descriptive-correlational research design, the researchers gathered data
using simple random sampling from 141 selected students of Foundation University
(n = 65) and Saint Paul University Dumaguete (n = 76) through a self-administered
questionnaire. The instrument measured students' levels of knowledge and skills, as
well as familiarity with the Incident Command System (ICS) and triage principles.
Results revealed that respondents had a very high level of knowledge (X= 4.41) and
skills (X = 4.24) related to emergency care, alongside very high familiarity with ICS
(X= 4.33) and triage (X= 4.35). Spearman's correlation showed a strong positive
relationship between knowledge and skills (r,= 0.762), and between ICS and triage
familiarity (r, = 0.633). Mann-Whitney U tests showed no significant differences in
knowledge or skill levels based on sex or age, except for triage familiarity, which
showed significant varíation by age group. The findings suggest that Level IV student
nurses are theoretically and practically prepared to respond to pre-hospital
emergencies, though ongoing training through simulation and disaster drills is
recommended to further strengthen their competence and confidence in real-life
emergency situations.
