“…It is also unclear to what extent the signs and symptoms reported in the HIC literature are transferable to LMICs, where diarrheal illnesses or vector-borne diseases (such as malaria) predominate. In LMICs that feature developing or do not have emergency care systems and services, the integration of community-based first-aid providers offers a prime opportunity to increase sepsis recognition and initiate healthcare-seeking behavior [ 59 ], ultimately resulting in decreased mortality. Given a higher sepsis incidence and the critical role that a first-aid provider might play in such nascent systems, it is necessary that research in LMIC contexts should be advanced.…”

Sepsis accounts for a significant proportion of preventable deaths worldwide and early treatment has been found to be a mainstay of decreasing mortality. Early identification of sepsis in the first-aid setting is critical as this results in a shorter time to hospital presentation and management with antibiotics and initial resuscitation. Our aim was to explore the existing literature related to either sepsis recognition or awareness of sepsis by first-aid providers who are evaluating an adult suspected of an acute infection.Our scoping review was performed as part of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation's (ILCOR) continuous evidence evaluation process to update the 2024 ILCOR Consensus on Science with Treatment Recommendations. We searched Embase, Medline, and Cochrane databases from their inception to January 17, 2023, with updated searches performed on November 21, 2023, and December 2, 2023. The gray literature search was conducted on August 29, 2023. The population included adults presenting with an acute illness exhibiting signs and symptoms of a severe infection. Outcomes included sepsis recognition or awareness of sepsis by a lay first-aid provider.After reviewing 4380 potential sources, four reviews (three systematic reviews and one scoping review), 11 observational studies, and 27 websites met the inclusion criteria. No study directly addressed our PICOST (Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcomes, Study Design, and Timeframe) question as none were performed in the first-aid setting. Three systematic reviews and nine observational studies that assessed the ability of early warning scores to detect sepsis and predict adverse outcomes secondary to sepsis had inconsistent results, but many found the screening tools to be useful. One scoping review and one observational study found public knowledge and awareness of sepsis to be variable and dependent upon healthcare employment, location, education level, ethnicity, sex, and age. Signs and symptoms associated with sepsis as listed by gray literature sources fell primarily under nine general categories as a means of educating the public on sepsis recognition.Although this scoping review did not identify any studies that directly addressed our outcomes, it highlights the need for future research to better understand the recognition of sepsis in first-aid settings.

“…First aid in accidents at the Cub Scout level is one of the important materials to learn and master (Djärv et al, 2022;Adib-Hajbaghery & Kamrava, 2019;Asadi-Pooya et al, 2022;Adal & Abebe, 2022). This is due to the possibility of emergency situations or accidents occurring in their environment (Gete et al, 2022;Diango et al, 2022;Diango et al, 2023;Slingers et al, 2022;Oktafiani Sigarlaki;. Therefore, community service often involves the topic of implementing scouting techniques in first aid materials for Cub Scouts.…”

Scouting is one of the activities of forming discipline, morals, character, and mental development with a learning process outside the school environment and outside the family environment which is packaged in an interesting and fun way carried out in the open air. There are two kinds of scout learning material, namely knowledge learning and scouting techniques. In scouting activities there are several scouting techniques that are often used for example camping, exploration, terrain orientation, and mountain climbing. Therefore, it is necessary to implement the scouting technique of scout first aid material for scouts through a Community Service program that is integrated with lecture activities at the project location to implement the scouting technique of scout first aid material for scouts in Gudep Bumi Bahari so that scouts in Gudep Bumi Bahari can know and apply every step in performing first aid in accidents during scouting activities. The purpose of this service is to increase the knowledge and skills of the first aid of the Cub Scouts, because the knowledge of first aid in the accident of the Cub Scouts of Gudep Bumi Bahari is still lacking. The method used in this community service is lecture-based coaching, practice and educational games, interviews are conducted as a final evaluation. The service program carried out with the project implementation team can be carried out according to targets such as increasing the understanding and skills of Scouts related to first aid material at Gudep Bumi Bumi Bahari in SD Negeri Pulias Abaling.
