Official title
Assessment of Parental Knowledge and Confidence in Providing First Aid for Choking and Infant Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
Overview
This study aims to assess the knowledge of parents regarding first aid for choking and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in infants under one year of age. The primary objective is to evaluate how well parents understand emergency procedures and identify factors influencing their knowledge and confidence. The study will involve a combination of surveys and practical training sessions conducted both in-person and online.
Detailed description
The study aims to evaluate the level of knowledge and self-confidence among parents regarding first aid procedures for choking and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in infants under one year of age. The research will investigate the factors that influence parental knowledge, including previous first aid training, educational background, and prior experience in emergency situations.
The study will employ a mixed-methods approach, including both quantitative and qualitative data collection. Participants will complete structured surveys before and after training sessions to assess changes in knowledge and confidence levels. The primary training will be conducted through workshops at the Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Krakow University and the Stefan Żeromski Specialist Hospital in Kraków. Additionally, online training will be offered via the Zoom platform to reach a broader audience.
The results will be statistically analyzed to identify key factors that improve parental first aid readiness. Findings are expected to contribute to the development of more effective educational strategies for parents, ultimately enhancing infant safety and emergency response skills.
Primary outcome measures
- Improvement in parental knowledge of first aid for choking in infants [Time frame: Before training (baseline) and immediately after training (follow-up).]
