Abstract
Background: Sucient knowledge required to deal with emergencies at the accident
site may not be
found in most medical students due to the lack of effective rst-aid training in most
medical education
curricula. This study aims to assess and evaluate the level of knowledge among
medical students in
providing rst-aid care, especially rst-year students.
Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted in May 2020 among 1,855
medical students. The data
was collected using an electronic questionnaire that was published on social media
platforms. Based on
the scores obtained for each clinical scenario requiring rst aid, general knowledge
was classied as
good, intermediate, or weak. in order to obtain the best result, a number of
measures were taken.
Results: Statistical analysis indicated that Academic year and Academic
specialization have a signicant
effect on the level of knowledge, whereas demographic background (gender,
university, marital status,
housing status, work status, nancial condition), reading, hearing, or receiving
training in rst-aid have no
effect on it.
Conclusion: The level of knowledge among Syrian medical students in providing
rst-aid care is
somewhat limited. Therefore, rst-aid courses should be made more accessible to
these students, and
their effectiveness should be ensured and maintained through frequent updates.
Moreover, more
, attention should be placed on publicizing rst-aid knowledge in a way that makes
life-saving procedures
attainable to anyone, anytime and anywhere.
Background
First aid provides immediate care to people who have been injured or struck by a
sudden injury until help
from a specialist arrives or until the injured person recovers.
The primary goals of rst aid are to preserve life, relieve pain as much as possible,
prevent further
complications and stabilize the patients [1][2]. Furthermore, anyone can be
exposed to injury in various
situations, whether at work or at home. It follows that the ability of providing
immediate and accurate
rst-aid care at the accident site is vital [3]. Based on the gathered information, we
found that
assessments of rst-aid knowledge among medical students and those involved in
the medical sector
have been commonly discussed in the Middle East but similar studies have not
been conducted in Syria.
Furthermore, a large group of medical students show poor understanding of rst-aid
principles and
practices, especially in their early academic years. Correspondingly, this reveals
the lack of sucient
published researches or reports discussing the topic [4]. Therefore, we recommend
placing more attention
on publicizing rst-aid knowledge among all age groups and workers in society,
especially those involved
in the medical sector, because they are the rst line of defense against critical
situations.
