Detailed description
This study investigates how first aid training based on experiential learning affects the knowledge and self-sufficiency of parents with children who have intellectual disabilities. The research is designed as a randomized controlled trial, which means participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group receiving the training or a control group that does not. The experiential learning approach involves hands-on activities, simulations, and interactive sessions aimed at improving the parents' practical first aid skills. The study will measure changes in parents' knowledge and confidence in providing first aid before and after the training. The outcomes of this research will help determine whether this type of training can empower parents to better respond to emergencies involving their children, potentially improving safety and wellbeing.
