The study aims to determine the knowledge of first-aid management in medical and non-medical students and how they will act in certain situations.
A cross-sectional study has been conducted on a convenience sampling of 375 (medical and non-medical) students. The research proposal was approved by the IRB Committee of King Saud University. The data has been obtained randomly by a validated questionnaire in a sample of 381 participants. The questionnaire had items related to knowledge and management of first-aid skills. The study was conducted from August 2020 to May 2021 in King Saud University.
The participants in the current study were medical (53.02%) and non-medical students (46.98%). Overall results showed that all students possessed a good knowledge of first-aid management, but medical students possessed more knowledge in comparison to non-medical students. The awareness of students related to first-aid management was found to be 32.02% 'high', 56.43% 'middle' and 11.54% 'low'. Moreover, results illustrated that medical students are more interested to attend first-aid courses than non-medical students by 60.4% and 43.6% respectively.
The study revealed the participants' knowledge and management were not adequate. A statistically significant association was found between being a medical student and having a high level of knowledge about first aid. Awareness campaigns must be conducted to increase awareness among the non-medical community about first-aid knowledge, and how it is essential for every individual.
本研究旨在确定医学专业和非医学专业学生的急救管理知识,以及他们在特定情况下的行为方式。
对375名(医学专业和非医学专业)学生进行了便利抽样的横断面研究。该研究方案已获沙特国王大学IRB委员会批准。通过一份经过验证的问卷,从381名参与者的样本中随机获取数据。问卷包含与急救技能知识和管理相关的项目。该研究于2020年8月至2021年5月在沙特国王大学进行。
本研究的参与者包括医学专业学生(53.02%)和非医学专业学生(46.98%)。总体结果显示,所有学生都具备良好的急救管理知识,但与非医学专业学生相比,医学专业学生的知识更丰富。学生对急救管理的认知度被发现为32.02%“高”、56.43%“中”和11.54%“低”。此外,结果表明,医学专业学生比非医学专业学生更有兴趣参加急救课程,分别为60.4%和43.6%。
该研究表明参与者的知识和管理水平不足。研究发现医学专业学生与具备高水平急救知识之间存在统计学上的显著关联。必须开展宣传活动,以提高非医学群体对急救知识的认识,以及其对每个人的重要性。
