School-aged children are a risk group in terms of accidents and injuries, and these factors may be the primary causes of death in children. Teachers have important roles in preventing accidents and injuries and giving first aid. The purpose of this research was to identify situations in which teachers most frequently encounter the need to administer first aid to children and whether the teachers performed the correct application in these events.
This descriptive study was conducted with 331 teachers in a city in the Central Anatolia Region. The study was approved by the local ethics committee and the participants.
Of the 45.3% teachers educating children ages 6 to 15 years, 81.0% of the teachers were familiar with first aid, but only 23.0% claimed to have an adequate knowledge. In the previous year, situations that had required first aid included epistaxis (75.2%), abdominal pain (49.2%), and vomiting (39.2%). The study also investigated any accidents and injuries occurring, their causes, and the teachers' interventions following the accidents and injuries. It was found that teachers had information about first aid, but they did not trust themselves enough to practice it.
Understanding the causes of accidents and injuries, finding preventive measures, and updating teachers' knowledge about this subject are important to provide a safe educational environment. (Disaster Med Public Health Preparedness. 2019;13:456-462).
学龄儿童是意外伤害的高危人群,这些因素可能是儿童死亡的主要原因。教师在预防事故和伤害以及进行急救方面发挥着重要作用。本研究旨在确定教师最常遇到需要为儿童实施急救的情况,以及教师在这些事件中是否正确应用急救措施。
这是一项在安纳托利亚中部地区的一个城市进行的描述性研究,共纳入 331 名教师。该研究获得了当地伦理委员会和参与者的批准。
在 45.3%的教育 6-15 岁儿童的教师中,81.0%的教师熟悉急救知识,但只有 23.0%的教师声称具有足够的急救知识。在过去的一年中,需要急救的情况包括鼻出血(75.2%)、腹痛(49.2%)和呕吐(39.2%)。研究还调查了发生的任何事故和伤害及其原因,以及教师在事故和伤害发生后的干预措施。结果发现,教师对急救知识有一定的了解,但他们对自己实施急救的能力缺乏信心。
了解事故和伤害的原因,寻找预防措施,并更新教师在这一主题上的知识,对于提供安全的教育环境非常重要。
