In Saudi Arabia, one third of children suffer from epistaxis. In our study, we aimed to assess the level of knowledge among parents regarding first-aid management of epistaxis in Taif city, Saudi Arabia.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Method:<\/jats:title>\n We carried out a descriptive cross-sectional study among parents who visited Alhada Armed Forces Hospital and Prince Mansour Military Hospital between May 2022 and July 2022 in Taif, Saudi Arabia. A questionnaire with 17 questions was distributed among the participants. We excluded parents with children who were older than 18 years.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n A total of 502 parents were included in the study. About two thirds (67.5%) of parents had a moderate level of knowledge and around one third (30.9%) showed a good level of knowledge regarding epistaxis first aid. Furthermore, higher knowledge scores were found among parents who had epistaxis previously (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.026), who attended a course on first aid (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.002), and who were aged more than 35 years (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.017).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Our study demonstrated that most Saudi parents had a moderate level of knowledge regarding first-aid management of epistaxis. Additionally, several factors, such as the number of children, age, those attending first-aid courses, and experience treating others with epistaxis, were associated with the level of knowledge among parents. Further larger studies are required among Saudi parents to examine the knowledge, practice, and related factors regarding first-aid management of epistaxis.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jfmpc.jfmpc_1925_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,29]],"date-time":"2023-05-29T03:00:08Z","timestamp":1685329208000},"page":"940-945","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Parents\u2019 knowledge regarding first-aid management of epistaxis in children in Taif, Saudi Arabia"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Badr S.","family":"Alam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, Taif University, Al-Taif, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amjad M.","family":"Jawhari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, Taif University, Al-Taif, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdulaziz S.","family":"Aljuaid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, Taif University, Al-Taif, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammed A.","family":"Althomali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, Taif University, Al-Taif, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bader S.","family":"AlMutairi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, Taif University, Al-Taif, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hamoud A.","family":"Alobaylan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine, Taif University, Al-Taif, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Saleh M","family":"Alosaimi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Prince Mansour Military Hospital, Taif, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2675","DOI":"10.12816\/0042247","article-title":"Assessment of knowledge attitude and practice of epistaxis in Saudi population","volume":"69","author":"Almulhim","year":"2017","journal-title":"Egypt J Hosp Med"},{"key":"R2-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"29","DOI":"10.1016\/j.emc.2018.09.005","article-title":"Epistaxis","volume":"37","author":"Krulewitz","year":"2019","journal-title":"Emerg Med Clin"},{"key":"R3-20240828","first-page":"305","article-title":"Management of epistaxis","volume":"71","author":"Kucik","year":"2005","journal-title":"Am Fam Physician"},{"key":"R4-20240828","first-page":"857","article-title":"Clinical outcome of patients with epistaxis treated with nasal packing after hospital discharge","volume":"75","author":"Faistauer","year":"2009","journal-title":"Braz J Otorhinolaryngol"},{"key":"R5-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"169","DOI":"10.4103\/jfmpc.jfmpc_13_17","article-title":"Chakraborty P pratim.
