Childhood injuries constitute a major public health problem worldwide. First aid is an effective life-preservation tool at work, school, home, and in public locations. In this study, the effectiveness of a first-aid program delivered by undergraduate nursing students to preparatory school children was examined. This quasi-experimental study was carried out on 100 school children in governmental preparatory schools in Egypt. The researchers designed a program for first-aid training, and this was implemented by trained nursing students. The evaluation involved immediate post-test and follow-up assessment after two months. The results showed generally low levels of satisfactory knowledge and inadequate situational practice among the school students before the intervention. Statistically-significant improvements were shown at the post- and follow-up tests. Multivariate regression analysis identified the intervention and the type of school as the independent predictors of the change in students' knowledge score, while the intervention and the knowledge score were the predictors of the practice score. The study concluded that a first-aid training program delivered by nursing students to preparatory school children is effective in improving their knowledge and practice.
儿童伤害是全球范围内的一个主要公共卫生问题。急救是在工作场所、学校、家庭和公共场所的一种有效的救生工具。在本研究中，考察了本科护理专业学生为预科学校儿童开展的急救项目的效果。这项准实验研究在埃及政府预科学校的100名学童中进行。研究人员设计了一个急救培训项目，并由经过培训的护理专业学生实施。评估包括即时后测和两个月后的随访评估。结果显示，干预前学生的知识满意度普遍较低，情境实践不足。在后测和随访测试中显示出统计学上的显著改善。多变量回归分析确定干预措施和学校类型是学生知识得分变化的独立预测因素，而干预措施和知识得分是实践得分的预测因素。该研究得出结论，护理专业学生为预科学校儿童开展的急救培训项目在提高他们的知识和实践能力方面是有效的。
