The objective of this study is to evaluate the first aid (FA) knowledge, practice, and attitude of medical and nursing students at Taibah University in Madinah.
The study involved a cross-sectional online survey of 359 students from different academic years, using a revised and validated questionnaire on FA procedures, which were assessed utilizing a revised iteration of a questionnaire that had been previously validated.
Regarding the knowledge score outcomes, the median score was 4, with an interquartile range of (3,5). Approximately 32.3% of participants demonstrated an excellent level of knowledge in first aid. Age exhibited a substantial and positive correlation with knowledge scores ( < 0.001), no significant correlation was observed between age and practice scores ( = 0.782), whereas age exhibited a significant and positive relationship with attitude scores ( < 0.001). Switching to the practice score results, the median practice score was 3, with an interquartile range of 2 to 3. A considerable 39.6% of participants displayed a good level of practice, representing the highest percentage among students. In the context of attitude score findings, the median attitude score was 4, and the interquartile range was 3 to 4, this suggests that the majority of the participants had a positive attitude towards first aid and its importance. Around 27.6% of participants portrayed a good attitude level, followed by 27% who demonstrated an acceptable attitude level. In addition, gender emerged as a differentiating factor in the three primary outcomes, as females achieved superior results across all aspects.
A significant proportion of medical and nursing students at Taibah University have solid FA knowledge, practice, and attitude. Age and education level reflect the impact of FA training and certification, which should be mandatory for all medical students. Further studies are needed to generalize the findings to other contexts.
本研究旨在评估麦地那泰巴大学医学和护理专业学生的急救知识、实践能力及态度。
本研究采用横断面在线调查，对来自不同学年的359名学生进行调查，使用一份经过修订和验证的关于急救程序的问卷，该问卷是利用先前已验证问卷的修订版进行评估的。
关于知识得分结果，中位数得分为4，四分位间距为（3,5）。约32.3%的参与者在急救知识方面表现出优秀水平。年龄与知识得分呈显著正相关（<0.001），年龄与实践得分之间未观察到显著相关性（=0.782），而年龄与态度得分呈显著正相关（<0.001）。转向实践得分结果，实践得分中位数为3，四分位间距为2至3。相当大比例（39.6%）的参与者表现出良好的实践水平，在学生中占比最高。在态度得分结果方面，态度得分中位数为4，四分位间距为3至4，这表明大多数参与者对急救及其重要性持积极态度。约27.6%的参与者表现出良好的态度水平，其次是27%表现出可接受态度水平的参与者。此外，性别在三个主要结果中成为一个区分因素，因为女性在所有方面都取得了更好的成绩。
泰巴大学相当一部分医学和护理专业学生具备扎实的急救知识、实践能力及态度。年龄和教育水平反映了急救培训和认证的影响，所有医学生都应强制接受此类培训和认证。需要进一步研究以将这些结果推广到其他环境。
