Basic knowledge on first aid is required to every citizen. School children are best target group for giving such training. School teachers have dual responsibility on this regard. They should have adequate knowledge on first aid so that they can provide when necessary and they should have enough knowledge to train students. This study was conducted to assess the knowledge of school teachers and students and effect of first aid training.
This study was conducted in school teachers and high school students of six schools in Kathmandu. Two days training on first aid was given to all participants. Knowledge on first aid was assessed through self administered 10 questionnaires before and after training. Response was recorded as 'correct' or 'incorrect' of individual question and total score obtained by individual. Responses were compared before and after training and between students and teachers also.
A total of 152 participants (121 students and 31 teachers) were included in the study. Average score in pretest and posttest was 5.1 ±1.56 and 8.01 ±1.49 respectively with P<.001. Majority were aware of meaning of first aid, time to perform Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and first aid knowledge on fracture and electric shock. First aid knowledge on other incidents was not satisfactory. The training improved overall knowledge of participants. There was no difference of knowledge in students and teachers.
First aid knowledge of school teachers and students was similar and not satisfactory. Training improves knowledge significantly.
急救基本知识是每个公民的必备知识。在校学生是进行此类培训的最佳目标群体。学校教师在这方面负有双重责任。他们应该具备足够的急救知识，以便在必要时提供急救，并且他们应该具备足够的知识来培训学生。本研究旨在评估学校教师和学生的急救知识水平以及急救培训的效果。
本研究在加德满都的六所学校的教师和高中生中进行。对所有参与者进行了为期两天的急救培训。通过自我管理的 10 份问卷评估急救知识，在培训前后进行。对每个问题的回答记录为“正确”或“错误”，并对个人得分进行记录。比较培训前后的个人和学生之间的反应，也进行了比较。
共有 152 名参与者（121 名学生和 31 名教师）纳入研究。预测试和后测试的平均分数分别为 5.1 ±1.56 和 8.01 ±1.49，P<.001。大多数人都知道急救的含义、进行心肺复苏术的时间以及骨折和电击的急救知识。对其他事件的急救知识则不尽如人意。培训显著提高了参与者的整体知识水平。学生和教师的知识没有差异。
学校教师和学生的急救知识相似且不尽如人意。培训显著提高了知识水平。
