Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Epistaxis is one of the most common ear, nose, and throat (ENT) emergencies that present to the emergency or primary care centers.
UNASSIGNED: This study aimed to assess the knowledge of the Saudi general public toward epistaxis.
UNASSIGNED: This study adopted a cross-sectional analytical study design. The questionnaire link was distributed using social media channels. The participants were adult Saudi nationals that live in Saudi Arabia. The data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire that assessed knowledge related to epistaxis. The knowledge score was calculated using the 10 knowledge evaluation questions. Each correct response was assigned a value of \"one.\" The scores ranged from \"zero\" to \"ten,\" with higher scores signifying greater knowledge. A percentage score was computed, and the participants\' knowledge was classified as poor (% score: ≤50%), moderate (% score: 51 to 70%), and good (% score: 71 to 100%). Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26 was used for statistical analysis.
UNASSIGNED: The study included 452 participants of whom 70.1% were females. Married individuals comprised 60.8% of the sample. The prevalence of self-reported epistaxis was 43.6% in the last 6 months. Among the participants, 42.9%, had \"Poor\" knowledge score, followed by 39.6% who had \"moderate\" score, and 17.5% had \"Good\" score. These results show that most participants had poor to moderate knowledge, with a minority demonstrating a good level of knowledge. All demographic variables have significantly influenced the adequacy of knowledge about epistaxis. Furthermore, participants who believed that the general public has insufficient knowledge on epistaxis had a significantly lower knowledge score (p = 0.001).
UNASSIGNED: The present study found a non-satisfactory, low-to-moderate knowledge level of the Saudi general public toward epistaxis. We propose emphasizing public knowledge and education about first aid for epistaxis because proper first aid can minimize significant complications when done properly.

摘要：
■鼻出血是最常见的耳朵之一，鼻子,和出现在急诊或初级保健中心的咽喉（ENT）紧急情况。
■本研究旨在评估沙特公众对鼻出血的认识。
■本研究采用了横断面分析研究设计。问卷链接使用社交媒体渠道分发。参与者是居住在沙特阿拉伯的成年沙特国民。数据是使用自我管理的问卷收集的，该问卷评估了与鼻出血相关的知识。使用10个知识评价问题计算知识得分。每个正确的响应都被分配了一个值“1”。分数从“零”到“十”不等，“分数越高，表示知识越多。计算了百分比分数，参与者的知识被归类为较差（%分数：≤50%），中等（%分数：51至70%），和良好（％得分：71至100％）。社会科学统计软件包(SPSS)26版用于统计分析。
■该研究包括452名参与者，其中70.1%为女性。已婚个体占样本的60.8%。在过去的6个月中，自我报告的鼻出血的患病率为43.6％。在参与者中，42.9%,有“差”的知识分数，其次是39.6%的人得分“中等”，17.5%的人得分“好”。这些结果表明，大多数参与者的知识贫至中等，少数人表现出良好的知识水平。所有人口统计学变量都显着影响了有关鼻出血的知识的充分性。此外，认为公众对鼻出血知识不足的参与者的知识得分明显较低(p=0.001).
■本研究发现，沙特公众对鼻出血的知识水平从低到中等。我们建议强调有关鼻出血急救的公共知识和教育，因为适当的急救可以在适当的情况下最大程度地减少严重的并发症。
