Aim: To determine whether the published literature demonstrates the knowledge & skills about first aid and CPR in cases of emergency life saving skills developed by under graduate students who have learnt first aid from first aid providers. Methods: An extensive search and numerous evaluation of the peer-reviewed literature was conducted for narrative review. Journal articles were retrieved from three databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, ERIC) using the search terms ‘first aid’; ‘resuscitation’; ‘training’; ‘under graduate students’; and ‘college’. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied and review findings organized thematically. Results: The search yielded four primary studies of India & other countries under graduate students aged 18–23 years trained by professional first aid providers. Subsequent review identified emergent themes of resuscitative first aid and non-resuscitative first aid. Heterogeneity was apparent in training and evaluation methods, and study quality varied. Reported first aid knowledge retention was mixed. Conclusion: There is a lack of quality evidence to guide optimal training methods and maximize first aid knowledge retention in under graduate college students. To date, research in this area has been limited. Further research is therefore recommended.
The study’s basic aim was to assess nursing students' understanding of first aid (FA) and (BLS) procedures and to educate them about FA and BLS by doing comparative study to evaluate the effectiveness of Simulation Assisted Training Program (SATP)Vs Mobile App based training Program on First Aid and BLS. A quasi-experimental study to evaluate the effectiveness of the Simulation Assisted Training Program (SATP) Vs Mobile app-based Training Program (MABTP) on First Aid (FA) and (BLS) on knowledge and practice among the undergraduate nursing students in selected Universities of Haryana. In SATP group; the posttests mean score of knowledge was 52.40±12.520. In MABTP group, the posttests mean score of knowledge was 49.64±8.480. The mean difference was 2.760. The t48=.913, p=.366which indicate that non-significant at 0.05 level. In SATP group; the posttests mean score of practice was 189.96±28.940. In MABTP group, the posttest mean score of practice was 166.24±38.505. The mean difference was 23.72. The t48=2.462p=.017which indicate that significant at 0.05 level.In SATP group; the posttests mean score of knowledge was 72.56±7.665. In MABTP group, the posttests mean score of knowledge was 57.72±9.298. The mean difference was 14.840. Here in dependent ttest was applied to find out statistically significant result.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
