Comparing University Student’s Knowledge, Attitudes And Behavours About First Aid And Basic Life Support

Abstract

Conscious first aid saves lives. In this context, it is important to investigate the first aid application knowledge and skills of the students who will work as health personnel after graduation. The aim of this study is to compare the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of university students studying in different departments in the field of health on basic life support and first aid. 300 students studying at the university were included in the study. Basic Life Support Information Form and First Aid Information Form prepared by the researcher were applied to the students. For the questions in the form, 1 point was given to each correct answer and 0 points to each incorrect answer, and an evaluation was made over 20 points. Data were evaluated using Chi-square test, T test, Kruskal Wallis analysis. Among the students studying at the Nursing Department(ND) included in the study, 15.6% had “low” level of knowledge, 79.7% had “moderate” level of knowledge and 4.7% had “high” level of knowledge. On the other hand, among the students studying at Home Care Program(HCP) and Medical Documentation and Secretarial Program(MDSP), 38% had “low” level of knowledge, whereas 60.2% had “moderate” level of knowledge and 1.9% had “high” level of knowledge (p<0.05). These results indicated that the students studying at the ND and the HCP+MDSP had different knowledge levels for basic life support and first aid. İt was observed that the students in the ND had higher knowledge levels than the students in the HCP+MDSP. It has been found that the students of ND have higher levels of First Aid and Basic Life Support knowledge than the students of HCP+MDSP.
