Brief summary
This proposal aims to describe research that will utilize first aid in primary education students and will attempt to identify the frequency with which the training should be repeated and the type of trainer who will carry out the training program.
Detailed description
The training concerns courses with theoretical knowledge and practical skills related to first aid. Taking into account children's cognitive and psychological development, students will be trained in the following topics: calling an ambulance, managing bleeding, handling an unconscious patient, drowning, and managing a head injury. Classroom teachers and specialized staff will teach classes. The evaluation of knowledge and skills will be done with a questionnaire. The evaluation will take place before and immediately after the training, two months and seven months after the training.
