Abstract

The aim of this study was to teach first aid skills and how to use an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) to possible first responders to cases of drowning suffered by migrants on their sea-crossings in an effort to reduce the number of deaths and injuries caused by drowning, particularly of women and children. The study was of quasi-experimental design. The universe of the study constituted all the individuals who could be possible first responders to incidents of drowning in the areas of Kuşadası and Didim. The sample consisted of 83 persons who participated in the training course that was provided as part of the project. These individuals received practical first aid training and were taught how to use an AED. Six months after the training, the effectiveness of the education was assessed with a "Course Effectiveness Assessment Questionnaire". In the effectiveness assessment made six months after the training, 88.0% of the participants correctly described what first aid is; 89.3% described how to assess the scene of the incident; 73.3% correctly described first aid procedures in cases of freezing, 86.7% in cases of heat-stroke; 82.7% identified the symptoms of full or partial congestion of the airways; 73.3% accurately explained how to perform the Heimlich Maneuver in conscious, unconscious adults, children and infants; 92.0% described general first aid applications in cases of drowning; 78.7% identified the "Heart Massage/Respiration rate" ratio in adult patients needing Basic Life Support; 94.7% correctly explained the purpose of an AED; 52.0% identified the parts of the device and 37.3% accurately described how to use the device. It was concluded in the evaluation of the course six months later that all the knowledge gained outside of the use of the AED had been retained by a rate of more than 50%.

Abstract

Bu çalışmada göçmenlerin deniz yolu geçişlerindeki boğulma vakalarıyla ilk karşılaşma ihtimali olan kişilere ilkyardım eğitimi verilerek ilkyardım becerilerinin kazandırılması ve Otomatik Eksternal Defibralatör (OED) kullanımının öğretilmesi ile genelde tüm boğulma vakalarında, özelde ise kadınlar ve çocuklardaki ölüm ve sakatlık oranların azaltılması hedeflenmiştir. Çalışma yarı deneysel tipte yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın evrenini Kuşadası ve Didim’de boğulma vakalarıyla ilk olarak karşılaşma ihtimali olan tüm kişiler oluştururken, örneklemini ise bu kişilerden proje kapsamında eğitimlere katılan 83 kişi oluşturmuştur. Bu kişilere uygulamalı ilkyardım eğitimi verilmiş ve OED kullanımı öğretilmiştir. Eğitimlerden altı ay sonra eğitimin etkinliği “Eğitim Etkinliği Değerlendirme Formu” ile değerlendirilmiştir. Eğitimlerden altı ay sonra yapılan eğitim etkinliği değerlendirilmesinde; katılımcıların %88.0’ı ilkyardımın tanımını, %89.3'ü olay yerinin değerlendirilme amacını, 73.3’ü donmalarda, %86.7’si sıcak çarpmasında yapılması gereken ilk yardım uygulamalarını, %82.7’si solunum yolunun tam ve kısmi tıkanma belirtilerini, %73.3’ü bilinçli, bilinci kapalı, yetişkin, çocuk ve bebeklerde Heimlick manevrasının nasıl yapılması gerektiğini, %92.0’ı boğulmalarda genel ilk yardım uygulamalarını, %78.7’si Temel Yaşam Desteği sağlanması gereken yetişkin hastada “Kalp Masajı / Solunum Sayısı “ oranını, %94.7’si OED’nin ne işe yaradığını, %52.0’ı cihazın parçalarını, %37.3’ü cihazın nasıl kullanılması gerektiğini doğru olarak cevaplamıştır. Altı ay sonra yapılan eğitim etkinliği değerlendirilmesinde OED kullanımı dışındaki diğer bilgilerin %50’nin üstündeki oranlarda kalıcılık gösterdiği sonucuna varılmıştır.
