Objective To explore the impact of emergency plan drills for public health management personnel on emergencies.Methods A total of 35 management personnel involved in handling public health events at Jining Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January to December 2021 were selected as the control group,and a total of 33 management personnel involved in handling public health events from April 2022 to April 2023 were selected as the observation group.The control group applied routine public health management measures,while the observation group adopted emergency response strategies such as emergency plan drills.The scores of management quality and emergency management ability before and after intervention in two groups were evaluated.Results After the intervention,public health managers scored higher on management quality than before the intervention.After intervention,the scores of on-site treatment(18.21±1.25)points,emergency preparedness(18.16±1.31)points,plan formulation(18.45±1.26)points,information management(18.37±1.19)points and ability improvement(18.06±1.26)points in the observation group were higher than those in the control group.The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The scores of emergency management ability of public health managers in the two groups after intervention were higher than those before intervention.The scores of law enforcement(17.41±1.16)points,first-aid skills training and coping ability(43.12±4.25)points,summary evaluation(18.02±1.06)points and daily work(8.21±1.04)points in the observation group were higher than those in the control group.The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Implementing emergency plan drills for public health management personnel can improve their ability to respond to emergencies and improve management quality.
