Background: Different life-threatening accidents can happen anywhere at any time in our daily livings. In this study, the knowledge about basic life support was below average among the non-medical population. Objective: The aim of the study was to assess basic life support knowledge and its associated factors among non-medical population attending the outpatient department. Methods: An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted from January 15/2020 to February 30/2020. Systematic random sampling was employed to get representative samples. Data were collected by using a structured interviewer-administered questionnaire. The data were analyzed by using a binary logistic regression model. Crude and adjusted odds ratios with the corresponding 95% confidence intervals were computed. Those variables with P-values of ≤0.05 were considered significantly associated with the outcome variable. Results: A total of 412 participants took part in the study with a response rate of 97.4%. Among the participants, 183 (44.4%) [95% CI (39.8-49.5)] were knowledgeable about basic life support. Age of 30-40 years was 50% [AOR=1.50, 95% CI (1.15-1.97)], the age of >40 years was 2.45 [AOR=2.45, 95 CI (1.53-3.91)], being male [AOR=2.22, 95% CI (1.41-3.49)], lived in the urban [AOR=1.66, 95% CI (1.25-3.56)], being trained [AOR=4.65, 95% CI (1.85-11.67)], ever heard about BLS and having exposure with the person in need of BLS [AOR=3.02, 95% CI (2.05-4.74)], and [AOR=2.59, 95% CI (1.69-3.98)] times more to be knowledgeable as compared with their counterparts. Conclusion: The finding of this study demonstrated that knowledge score of the participants was below average. Therefore, there has to be more to do so as to scale up the knowledge of the community for reducing preventable deaths from unexpected emergency situations.

“…34 Therefore, preschool teachers, as important leaders, have an important impact on the health knowledge and behaviors of preschool children. 35,36 The current study found that preschool teachers who participated in the survey had poor cognition of child health knowledge. Without adequate health knowledge, the preschool teachers may not be able to provide effective help and support for the development of healthy behavior for children.…”

Aim This research aims to explore the health knowledge mastery of preschool teachers in Chongqing. Methods A cross-sectional questionnaire survey of preschool teachers in Chongqing was conducted by random sampling. A total of 399 preschool teachers were included in this research. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to explore the influencing factors on preschool teachers’ mastery of preschool child health knowledge. Results This research found that the average score of preschool teacher’s knowledge of preschool children was only 34.01±0.78, and the accuracy of the knowledge points of continuous short-distance eye use time was the lowest, at less than 5%. The conducting of eye exercises by the kindergarten and the scores of preschool teachers were negatively correlated (β=−0.257, p<0.001); the score of health knowledge of preschool teachers of the kindergarten whose screen time met the standard was lower (β=−0.113, p=0.017); whether the time and frequency for outdoor activities of the kindergarten met the standards and the health knowledge score of preschool teachers was positively correlated (β=0.130, p<0.001 vs β=0.163, p<0.001). Male preschool teachers and teachers overweight according to BMI had higher scores for preschool health knowledge (β=−0.114, p=0.016 vs β=0.099, p=0.034). Conclusion Preschool teachers in Chongqing had a poor grasp of knowledge regarding preschool children’s health, and in particular, knowledge of children’s exercise and eye use. Educational background and work experience may no longer indicate preparedness for teaching these topics, and suggests that supportive measures can also be directly provided at the kindergarten level in the future to increase the health knowledge of preschool teachers.
