Injuries are very common and can occur at any point of time in a day. Unintended injuries in kindergarten children are the most common and need immediate life saving care which is known as first aid. This study aimed to investigate knowledge, attitude, practice, and associated factors of first aid among kindergarten teachers of Lideta sub-city Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
A cross-sectional study was conducted among kindergarten teachers. Data was collected using pretested, structured and self-administered questionnaire S1 File. The collected data was entered in to Epi Data version 3.1 software and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify association between kindergarten teachers' knowledge and attitudes towards first aid and different variables. Odds ratios with 95% CI and p<0.05 were computed to determine the presence of the association.
One hundred and ninety-four teachers participated in the study with a response rate of 95%. Only 40% of the teachers were knowledgeable and 75% of them had positive attitude for first aid. Eighty percent of teachers encountered with children in need of first aid. Kindergarten teachers older than 35 years [AOR = 4.2, 95%CI: (1.02, 16.9)], five years' experience [AOR = 3.1, 95%CI: (1.2, 7.6)], having previous first aid training [AOR = 3.1, 95%CI: (1.2, 7.7)], source of first aid information and teachers serving in private kindergarten are associated with having knowledge of first aid. Long time experience, type of kindergarten, previous training, and exposure to children in need of first aid were positive association with attitude towards first aid.
Low first aid knowledge and high positive attitude among kindergarten teachers. Having long time experience, being older age, previous first aid training, and serving in private kindergarten were positively associated with first aid knowledge and positive attitude. Creating awareness and including first aid courses in the kindergarten teachers' curriculum need to be considered.
伤害非常常见，可能在一天中的任何时间发生。幼儿园儿童的意外伤害最为常见，需要立即进行救生护理，即急救。本研究旨在调查埃塞俄比亚亚的斯亚贝巴利德塔分区幼儿园教师的急救知识、态度、实践及相关因素。
在幼儿园教师中进行了一项横断面研究。使用预先测试的、结构化的和自我管理的问卷 S1 文件收集数据。收集的数据输入到 EpiData 版本 3.1 软件中，并使用 SPSS 版本 20 进行分析。使用逻辑回归分析来确定幼儿园教师急救知识和态度与不同变量之间的关联。使用 95%置信区间和 p<0.05 的比值比来确定关联的存在。
194 名教师参加了研究，应答率为 95%。只有 40%的教师有急救知识，75%的教师对急救有积极的态度。80%的教师遇到过需要急救的儿童。年龄大于 35 岁的幼儿园教师[比值比（AOR）= 4.2，95%置信区间（CI）：（1.02，16.9）]、有 5 年工作经验的教师[AOR = 3.1，95%CI：（1.2，7.6）]、有急救培训经历的教师[AOR = 3.1，95%CI：（1.2，7.7）]、急救信息来源和在私立幼儿园工作的教师与急救知识有关。长期经验、幼儿园类型、以前的培训和接触需要急救的儿童与对急救的积极态度呈正相关。
幼儿园教师急救知识水平低，态度积极。长期经验、年龄较大、以前的急救培训和在私立幼儿园工作与急救知识和积极态度呈正相关。需要提高认识，并将急救课程纳入幼儿园教师课程中。
