Abstract
Background:
First aid is the initial assistance or
treatment given at the site of accident
to someone who is injured or suddenly
taken ill, before the arrival of ambulance.
Objectives:
The study aimed to examine knowledge
and attitude of first aid skills among
medical and non-medical students at Taif
University.
Materials and
Method: This was a cross-sectional
study and was conducted on a convenience
sample of 500 female and male (Medical
and Non-Medical) students. The research
proposal was approved by the Research
Committee of the Taif University. The
data was gained by validated questionnaire
in a sample of 500 participants, who were
randomly selected. The questionnaire included
two parts: part 1 had Sociodemographic
details of the participants and part 2
had items related to Knowledge, awareness,
attitude and practices regarding first
aid skills.
Results: The
mean age of the participants was 21 ±
1.5 years. 56.6% of the participants were
found to have good awareness regarding
first aid and Basic life Support (BLS).
The attitude towards first aid was very
poor and only 8% had a good attitude toward
it. There was a statistically significant
relationship observed between attendance
to first aid course and awareness, knowledge
and practices.
Conclusion:
The attitude and skills of the study participants
were not satisfactory. Universities need
to organize an effective committee to
monitor and conduct first aid courses
and activities. Students need to realize
the public importance of such activities
and ensure they effectively involve in
these lifesaving procedures.
