ÜNİVERSİTE ÖĞRENCİLERİNDE İLK YARDIM BİLGİ DÜZEYİ ÖLÇEĞİ GEÇERLİLİK VE GÜVENİLİRLİĞİNİN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Öz

ÖZET Giriş: Toplumun her alanında görev alacak olan üniversite öğrencilerinin ilk yardım bilgi düzeyleri (İYBD) önemlidir. Çalışmada üniversite öğrencilerinde İlk Yardım Bilgi Düzeyi Ölçeği (İYBDÖ) geliştirilmesi ve İYBD’nin değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Materyal-Metod: Çalışma, Ocak-Mayıs 2019 tarihleri arasında Eskişehir ilinde üniversite öğrencilerinde yapılan metodolojik ve kesitsel tipte olmak üzere iki aşamalı bir araştırmadır. Birinci aşamada İYBDÖ geliştirildi, ikinci aşamada üniversite öğrencilerinde İYBD değerlendirildi. Çalışmada kullanılan anket form sosyodemografik özellikleri (yaş, cinsiyet, fakülte, öğrenim süresi…) ilk yardım bilgi düzeyine etki edebilecek faktörleri (ilk yardım eğitimi alma, önemine inanma…) ve araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan İYBDÖ maddelerini içermekteydi. Bulgular: Çalışma grubunu oluşturan 806 öğrencinin yaşları 18-41 arasında değişmekte olup yaş ortalaması (SS) 21,24 (2,77) idi. İYBDÖ faktör yükleri 0,34-0,76 arasında değişmekte idi. Cronbach alfa değeri ise 0,87 olarak hesaplandı. Üniversite öğrencilerinin %27,4’ünde İYBD’nin yetersiz olduğu tespit edildi. Yaş, cinsiyet, sınıf, öğrenim süresi, ilk yardımın önemine inanma, ilk yardım eğitimi alma, ilk yardım gerektiren bir durumla karşılaştığında müdahale etme değişkenleri ile oluşturulan Lojistik regresyon modeli analizi sonucunda İYBD’nin yeterli olma durumu son sınıfta OR:3,35 (%95 Güven Aralığı (1,25-8,95), ilk yardımın önemine inananlarda OR:2,54 (1,39-4,66), ilk yardım gerektiren bir durumla karşılaştığında müdahale edenlerde OR:1,89 kat (1,31-2,72) daha yüksekti. Sonuç ve öneriler: Üniversite öğrencilerinde İYBD’yi belirlemek amacıyla İYBDÖ geliştirildi. Her dört öğrenciden birinin ilk yardım bilgi düzeyinin yetersiz olduğu saptandı. Üniversite öğrencilerinin ilk yardım bilgi düzeylerinin arttırılmasına yönelik farkındalık çalışmalarını arttırmaya yönelik eğitimlerin yapılmasının uygun olacağı kanaatine varıldı.

EVALUATION OF THE VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY OF THE FIRST AID KNOWLEDGE SCALE IN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Öz

Objective: Having knowledge about first aid and shaping the right approaches, the mastery of the subject of university students, who will take part in all areas of society, is of key importance. In this context, there is a need for a scale measuring the first aid knowledge level (FAKL), and the study aimed to develop the First Aid Knowledge Level Scale (FAKLS) and to evaluate the first aid knowledge level of university students. Methods: The study is a two-stage research, methodological and cross-sectional, conducted on university students in Eskişehir between January and May 2019. In the first stage, FAKLS was developed, and in the second stage, FAKL was evaluated in university students. The questionnaire form used in the study included sociodemographic characteristics (age, gender, faculty, duration of study etc.), factors that could affect the level of first aid knowledge (receiving first aid training, believing in its importance, etc.), and the items of FAKLS created by the researchers. Results: The ages of the study group ranged from 18 to 41, and the mean age (SD) of Group I was 20.9 (3.03), and that of Group II was 21.24 (2.77). In the first stage of the study, the IALS Cronbach's alpha value was calculated as 0.87. In the second stage of the study, it was determined that the first aid knowledge level was insufficient for 27.4% of the university students. As a result of the Logistic regression model analysis created with the variables of age, gender, class, duration of education, belief in the importance of first aid, receiving first aid training, and intervening when faced with a situation that requires first aid, FAKL is OR:3.35(CI:1.25-3.35) times higher in seniors than in first graders, and in those who believe in the importance of first aid It was OR:2.54 (CI:1.39-4,66) times higher for non-believers, and OR:1.89(CI:1.31-2.72) times higher for those who intervened when faced with a situation that required first aid, compared to those who did not. Conclusion: FAKLS was developed to determine the first aid knowledge level of university students. It was determined that the first aid knowledge level of one out of every four students was insufficient. Awareness studies and training should be carried out to increase the first aid knowledge level of university students.
