OBJECTIVE: To examine @entity341 ( @entity341 ) staff's knowledge of traumatic stress in @entity1 , attitudes toward providing psychosocial care, and confidence in doing so, and also to examine differences in these outcomes according to demographic, professional, and organizational characteristics, and training preferences. STUDY DESIGN: We conducted an online survey among staff in @entity341 and equivalent hospital departments, based on the Psychological First Aid and Distress-Emotional Support-Family protocols. Main analyses involved descriptive statistics and multiple regressions. Respondents were 2648 @entity341 staff from 87 countries (62.2% physicians and 37.8% nurses; mean years of experience in emergency care was 9.5  years with an SD of 7.5  years; 25.2% worked in a low- or middle-income country). RESULTS: Of the respondents, 1.2% correctly answered all 7 knowledge questions, with 24.7% providing at least 4 correct answers. Almost all respondents (90.1%) saw all 18 identified aspects of psychosocial care as part of their job. Knowledge and confidence scores were associated with respondent characteristics (eg, years of experience, low/middle vs high-income country), although these explained no more than 11%-18% of the variance. Almost all respondents (93.1%) wished to receive training, predominantly through an interactive website or one-off group training. A small minority (11.1%) had previously received training. CONCLUSIONS: More education of @entity341 staff regarding @entity1 traumatic stress and psychosocial care appears needed and would be welcomed. Universal education packages that are readily available can be modified for use in the @entity341 .
