Design: One study group as served pre/ post-test used a quasi-experimental design. Settings: The study was carried out at preparatory schools at Banha City were selected four schools named May 15, Modern Pioneers, Atyrab New, National Guard, which were selected by systematic random way. Subjects: Multistage random sample was utilized to select four preparatory schools and the recruited children which composed of 160 children. Tools: Two tools for data collection were used; first tool an interview questionnaire sheet which included socio-demographic characteristics for children's knowledge related to the selected first aid. Second tool was consisted of observation checklist to observe practices for children's pre and immediately post training program.

The Impact of Basic First Aid Training on Knowledge Levels of School-Aged Children

“…This study was conducted to determine the impact of basic first aid training on knowledge levels of schoolaged children. (Eyi et al, 2016;Bulduk, 2017;Akkan, 2018;Mohammed, 2018;Panda et al, 2019;Aktaş et al, 2020;Cheng et al, 2021;Mehreen et al, 2021;Düdükcü et al, 2022;León-Guereño et al, 2023). Since education is a value that increases awareness, nurses should provide education in schools to improve students' basic first aid knowledge and skills.…”

Effectiveness of training program by blended learning on knowledge and practices regarding first aid among preparatory year engineering students at Assiut University

“…The researchers developed this tool after reviewing the relevant literature. [19][20][21][22] This tool comprises (47) questions that address the theoretical parts of FA. It assessed the engineering students' knowledge about FA, including basic concepts of first aid, definitions, causes, signs and symptoms, first aid, and prevention of fainting, sunstroke, bleeding, wounds, fractures, burns, and electrocution.…”

“…The researchers developed this tool after reviewing the relevant literature to assess engineering students' practices about first aid [19][20][21][22] . It consists of (61) items divided into seven parts; first aid practice about fainting (five items), sunstroke (seven items), bleeding (eight items), wounds (eight items), fractures (eleven items), burns (sixteen items), and first aid practice about electrocution (six items).…”

“…Five academic professors from Assiut University's Nursing Faculty performed validity for all tools and the content of the educational program. Four were from community health nursing and one from medical and surgical nursing, who reviewed the tools for clarity, relevance, comprehensiveness, understanding, and applicability 20 . The reliability was measured using the Cronbach alpha coefficient test to knowledge questionnaire about first aid was (0.88) and the observational checklist for assessing student practices about first aid was (0.90).…”

“…A pilot study was carried out on 9 engineering students (10%), 20 prior to data collection to investigate the accuracy, applicability, and time necessary to fill out the form of study tools. No changes were made and added to the studied sample.…”
