ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the role of comprehensive first aid skills training in improving medical students' comprehensive first aid ability.Methods:Eighty-seven medical students were enrolled in this study, and received the training of comprehensive first aid skills developed by the emergency medicine teaching and research section of our hospital. The scores of individual first aid ability, emergency handling ability, team cooperation ability, organization and coordination ability and communication ability before and after the training were analyzed. At the same time, a questionnaire survey was conducted among students to understand their evaluation and recognition of the training. SPSS 10.0 was used for t test. Results:After the training, the total score of comprehensive first aid ability was increased significantly [(73.55±3.89) vs. (63.53±3.06)], and the scores of emergency handling ability [(10.11±1.43) vs. (8.01±1.16)], team cooperation ability [(11.38±1.21) vs. (8.15±0.99)], organization and coordination ability [(10.68±1.17) vs. (8.15±0.99)] and communication ability [(9.64±1.31) vs. (7.55±1.08)] were also significantly increased ( P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the scores of individual first aid ability mastery before and after training. In all, 80.46%-96.55% of the students think that the training of comprehensive first aid skills is conducive to the improvement of their comprehensive first aid ability, and all of the students are willing to use this training in the future. Conclusion:Comprehensive first aid skill training is beneficial to improve medical students' comprehensive first aid ability.
