CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKROUND
INTRODUCTION
First Aid is the Immediate care given to an injured person,
Injuries considered as one of the most health problem facing
the world today, because it can result long disability or
even death, so First aid and Basic life support provide
First Treatment at the site of accident before the ambulance
arrives. First aiders or First Aid providers are those have
skills and knowledge to give immediate care to an Injured
person or they're the one who deals with life-threathening
conditions. First aid provider should be trained to be able
to assess the situation quickly and calmly, deal with life
threatening conditions meanwhile protecting him/herself from
the danger, obtain medical aid and call an ambulance in case
of serious injury or illness. First Aid training prepares
student to react to situations and provide immediate care,
and also provide knowledge about correct management of
injuries and illnesses, First aid is important because it
may improve the health knowledge which may lead to save life
and it can may used a change agent in the family or
community. Becoming trained on first aid methods will help
you to feel more secure and confident when deal with
emergency situations as you will know the most efficient
ways to deal with the situation. Basic first aid training
prepares students to react to situations and provide
immediate, efficient management for a wide variety of
incidents as; chocking, breathing and circulation
emergencies, respiratory and cardiac arrest, fracture of
bone, muscle injuries, bleeding and cardiopulmonary
resuscitation training
According to World Health Organization, Injuries result from
road traffic crashes, falls, drowning, burns, poisoning and
acts of violence against oneself or others, among other
causes, Of the 4.4 million injury-related deaths,
unintentional injuries take the lives of 3.16 million people
every year and violence-related injuries kill 1.25 million
people every year. Roughly 1 in 3 of these deaths result
from road traffic crashes, 1 in 6 from suicide, 1 in 10 from
homicide and 1 in 61 from war and conflicts, For people age
5-29 years, 3 of the top 5 causes of death are injury-
related, namely road traffic injuries, homicide and suicide.
Drowning is the sixth leading cause of death for children
age 5-14 years. Falls account for over 684,000 deaths each
year and are a growing and under-recognized public health
issue.
According to Research gate the study deals with the relation
between the level of public awareness in maintaining safety,
responsibility for others and First Aid skills and accident
rate and mortality rates in the event of emergency. The
available data show that when immediate assistance is
provided within 5 minutes after the accident, the wounded
survival rate is 85%, while over 15 min it is 72%, and 20
min from the event it is 60%. What is most important and
probably yields the most impact is the reform of education,
which provides training in First Aid at all levels of
education and has the task of shaping a new, conscious
society. For that reason the role of schools is very
important, as it influences development and prepares
students to meet the various challenges of the modern world,
including assistance to victims, the emergency response, and
care for their own safety, victims and witnesses.
The ultimate Goal of the training programs was to increase
the students ability to actually perform successful first
aid and, it will help students to feel more secure and
confident when deal with emergency situations as you will
know the most efficient ways to deal with the situation.
However, both because of limitations in the time perspective
involved and the fact that first-aid performance is a
behaviour of low
frequency. It focuses on having first aid knowledge,
attitudes towards carrying out and learning first aid,
emotions connected with giving first aid, intended behaviour
in situations, self-efficacy related to giving first aid,
and the actions of making practical and effective use of
something.
Thus the aim of the study was to evaluate the Influence or
the capacity to have an effect on the character,
developement or behaviour of someone or something or the
effect of itself, and the utilization or the action of
making the practical and effective use of something. A
second aim was to investigate the importance of the
different variables with respect to behavioural intensions.
Thirdly we want to implement the training program in all
seniorhigh school in ACLC-Naga. The relevance of this
studies on our studies are it
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Our reseach focuses on The effect of first aid training on
emergency preparedness and response of seniorhighschool
students in ACLC-Naga, its seeks answers to the following
Questions:
General problem:
1. What are the Effects of having First aid trainings in
every students?
Specific problem:
2. How does First aid training helps student to be prepared
and can response on emergencies?
3. What is the possible things that will student know in the
training in terms of;
a.) Utilization
b.) Influence
SCOPE AND DELIMATIONS OF THE STUDY
The general intent of this study is to know the effect of
first aid training on emergency preparedness and response of
senior high school student in Ama computer learning center-
naga city.
Futhermore, having First aid training can have different
effect to their utilization or the action of making the
practical and effective of use of first aid, and the effect
of first aid on their character, development or behavior of
something that it can effect of itself. Also to Assess the
effect of training program on student knowledge and
practices in the first aid and basic life support in the
industrial senior high school student, especially to those
student who join first aiders club in ACLC-naga.
This study will be conducted with limited amount of
financial resources and time framework.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The primary benefeciaries of the study are the participants
who will benefit positively from the training program. Tha
training program is the answer to the need for more
preperation for student andvancement and response to the
demand of emergency situations
A salient contribution of this study is to know the effect
on the student of having first aid training on different
perspective specially on the knowledge, practices and
behaviour of students, this is yet most significant to the
researcher from the perspective of academic fullfilment.
This study Conducted to benefit the following:
Student
> This study may serve as a reference for the all or most of
student on how the First aid taining affects their
knowledge, practices and behaviours or this will also put
some awareness or guide and references for the students
undertaking similar duties.
Researchers
> This will be an instrument that will guide and navigate
them in discovering credible, reliable, and tantamount
factors that are known as indisperable data for futher
understanding on topics, This research will be useful for
references for the researchers who would plan to make
related study.
Working environment:
> The student will understand why the First aid in working
environment is the most. This will put awareness among the
student on how emergency and response works in environment.
Theoretical Framework
This study focuses on the effect of First aid training on
the emergency response and their knowledge, attitudes,
utilization and Influence. The related Theory on this study
is the Effects of first-aid training in junior high schools,
proposed by Anders Engeland, Espen Røysamb, Geir Smedslund,
Anne Johanne Søgaard(2002). Its states that The program
indexes for knowledge of first aid, attitudes towards giving
and learning first aid, self-efficacy, emotions connected
with first-aid situations and intended behavior in
situations requiring first-aid action were constructed. In
the intention-to-treat analysis of these indexes, the
difference between the intervention and control group was
modest. A separate questionnaire filled in by the teachers
showed a low degree of implementation of the program. When
comparing those classes that really used the program with
the control classes, significant differences were revealed
in many of the variables. Both self-efficacy, emotions in
situations requiring first-aid skills and attitudes toward
giving and learning first aid were of importance for
intended behavior.
The another theory is Systematic review and meta-analysis of
Mental Health First Aid training: Effects on knowledge,
stigma, and helping behaviour proposed by Amy J Morgan, Anna
Ross, Nicola J Reavley (2018) its state that to provide an
up-to-date assessment of the effectiveness of the Mental
Health First Aid (MHFA) training program on improving mental
health knowledge, stigma and helping behaviour. The last
theory is The effects of psychological first aid training on
disaster preparedness perception and self-efficacy, proposed
by Nurhayat Kılıç, Nuray Şimşek (2019). Its state that study
was conducted with the aim of investigating the impact of
psychological first aid training on the perception of
disaster preparedness and self-efficacy. Also it was found
that the mean scores of the intervention group under all
sub-dimensions of the disaster preparedness perception scale
for nurses (preparation phase, intervention phase, and post-
disaster phase) increased significantly after the training
and in follow-ups, and these were significantly higher than
the mean scores of those in the control group. It was
determined that the mean post-training and follow-up general
self-efficacy scores of the intervention group increased
significantly, and these were significantly higher than the
mean scores of those in the control group. The relevance of
this study to our studies are this may have relevant
information source to answers our research question. To
determine relevance, the purpose and bias must be
understood. In fact, all aspects of evaluation must be taken
into consideration to determine relevance.
Conceptual framework
(First aid training - emergency preparedness and response)
Figure 1. conceptual framework
Figure 1, presents the conceptual framework of the study, it
consists of two variables, first aid training an independent
variable and emergency preparedness and response as the
dependent variable.
In figure1, first aid training an independent variable helps
students of aclc naga learn to be more conscious of safety
in the school. First aid training provides students with a
vital knowledge base for dealing with any medical
emergencies they me faced, teachers and students with basic
first aid knowledge are likely to be more alert and aware of
surrounding rist. First aid training promotes a sense of
safety and make sure that you will not become vulnerable to
accidents and injuries.
Another variables, emergency preparedness and response
refers to being prepared for students that may cause injury
in the school, it is aimed at helping students of aclc naga
to be pre prepared in case of emergencies to protect
themselves from personal injury.
Brief explanation
This is the short brief explanation about this diagram IV
and DV, the figure presents the conceptual framework of the
study indicating the dependent variable and dependent
variable .On the left hand side of the framework includes
the independent variables of the study, students stress
level, student background, knowledge of student, safety of
students along the accidents .On the other hand the
dependent variable of the study in preparedness and response
of aclc students which may affect the outcome of the
dependent variable.
Hypothesis of the study
Our possibly hypothesis for a study about the effect of
first aif training could be there is the significance effect
beetween tge emergency response. This hypothesis suggest
that first aid has effect on every student meaning that the
student who trained or experience first aid training may
have different effects on their knowledge and practices,
other possible Hypothesis H2: In the effect of first aid
training on evaluate the Influence or the capacity to have
an effect on the character, developement or behaviour of
someone or something or the effect of itself, and the
utilization or the action of making the practical and
effective use of something. H3: how does the first aid
training help students to be ready on emergencies and
response. These hypotheses could be tested through empirical
research using various quantitative and/or qualitative
methods, such as surveys, interviews, Or Experimental
designs
