Brief Summary

Background: Advanced airway management is a critical component of advanced life support (ALS). Supraglottic airway devices (SADs) represent an effective and safe alternative to endotracheal intubation in emergency settings, particularly in Primary Care (PC), where low exposure to critical situations favors skills decay. The objective is to analyze the baseline level of theoretical knowledge and self-perceived ability regarding SADs management among PC physicians and nurses. Methods This quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted in primary care (PC) health centers within the Castellón Health Department, Spain. The study included 92 PC healthcare professionals. Data were collected using an ad hoc digital questionnaire that had previously been validated by 14 experts, achieving an overall Scale-level Content Validity Index (S-CVI) of 0.93. Descriptive and bivariate inferential analyses were performed using Pearson's chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, and the Mann-Whitney U test. Statistical significance was set at p ≤ 0.05.

Model Details: An observational, analytical, and cross-sectional study was conducted at primary care health centers under the Castellón Department of Health (Valencian Community, Spain). The target population consisted of 538 active healthcare professionals (family physicians and community nurses). The sample size was calculated using the G\*Power program (v. 3.1.9.7), which determined a minimum requirement of 96 participants to ensure 95% statistical power (α=0.05; moderate-to-low effect size d=0.30). The final sample consisted of 92 participants who validly completed the questionnaire, maintaining a statistical power of over 90%. Selection was based on non-probabilistic convenience sampling. The medical and nursing coordinators at each health center were contacted to distribute the digital questionnaires to the professionals. Professionals who met the inclusion criteria and voluntarily provided their consent to participate were included in the study.
