siveness when faced with multiple choices because of the dilemma posed by this choice. These persons need a developed theoretical grounding in order to justify their choice. An evaluation programme of the teaching of emergency practices has been developed in order to exploit the answers to a questionnaire offered to more than 7,000 first-aiders trained each year. This programme was designed for a Macintosh computer. It analyses four types of information: 1) personal details (profession, age) which remain confidential; 2) information concerning the training of the individual; 3) training course, quality, organization, teaching methods used, etc.; 4) answers to 10 questions concerning their knowledge of the CPR programme; the assessment of a victim, recovery position, mouth-to-mouth ventilation, chest compressions; and 5) steps to take when faced with: a) haemorrhage; b) heart attack; c) suffocation; d) electrocution; etc. The questions relating to the assessment of the level of knowledge can be modified without disrupting the comparative analysis from year to year. Thus, with the help of the programme, it is possible to devise a validation or non-validation of the choice of teaching practices.
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.
