Attitudes of emergency healthcare workers on electric vehicle accidents: a descriptive study

EVAs pose unique risks due to their battery structure and limited control, distinguishing them from conventional vehicle incidents. Knowledge gaps and emotional hesitation among healthcare workers highlight the need for targeted training programs that extend beyond healthcare providers to include other frontline responders, such as firefighters and traffic police. In addition, forensic specialists involved in injury assessment and cause-of-death determination should receive EVA-specific awareness training to enhance their preparedness for such cases. Furthermore, the implementation of structured EVA-specific training programs-shaped by the attitudes identified in this study-may not only improve the quality of emergency care but also serve a preventive function in potential future legal risks related to patient care.
