Study Notes
First Aid: Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices
First aid is a critical aspect of emergency preparedness, particularly in the context of schools and kindergartens where children are at risk of injuries and emergencies. Understanding the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of first aid among different populations is essential for promoting safety and well-being. This article explores the current state of first aid knowledge among kindergarten teachers, the sources of information for first aid, and the impact of training on first aid knowledge.

- The participants obtained information about first aid primarily from health professionals, but their knowledge varied significantly.
- Kindergarten teachers with previous first aid training were found to be significantly more knowledgeable about first aid than those without training.
