BACKGROUND: Globally, armed conflict is a major contributor to mortality and
morbidity. The treatment of war-associated injuries is largely experience-based.
Evidence is weak due to difficulty in conducting medical research in war
settings. A qualitative method could provide insight into the specific challenges
associated with providing health care to injured civilians. The aim of this study
was to explore the challenges hospital-based physicians encounter in war wound
management, focusing on surgical intervention and antibiotic use. METHODS:
Semi-structured, face-to-face interviews were conducted with physicians at a
Jordanian hospital supported by Médecins Sans Frontières. The interviews were
recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed using content analysis with an
inductive and deductive approach. RESULTS: We found that challenges in war wound
management primarily relate to protocol adherence. Protocols for the management
of acute war wounds were adhered to on areas that could be considered commonly
agreed principles of war wound surgery, such as the use of wound debridement and
the evaluation of the systemic condition of the patient before initiating
antibiotic treatment. We identified limitations imposed on the physicians that
complicate or even hinder protocol adherence. Additionally, we identified factors
associated with conscious deviations from the protocols. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude
that adherence to established protocols around the management of acute war wounds
is difficult. We present aspects that may be considered when establishing
clinical projects in similar contexts. The knowledge gained by this study could
provide insights for the development of protocols or guidelines for wound
management and antibiotic use in an unstable setting, such as a hospital in close
proximity to armed conflict. We suggest the use of a grounded theory approach to
further study the discrepancy between guideline recommendations and actual
practice.
