    First aid training is lacking in the community. Cost deters enrollment, but course length does not, suggesting improved publicity can increase participation in vital first aid skills.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Community Health Education
    • Emergency Preparedness

    Background:

    • Inadequate levels of first aid skills in the general population.
    • Need to understand motivations for voluntary first aid training.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • Investigate factors influencing motivation to accept voluntary first aid training.
    • Identify barriers and facilitators to participation in first aid courses.

    Main Methods:

    • Study involved 700 randomly selected swimming pool owners (a high-risk group).
    • Offered formal first aid instruction and measured attendance rates.
    • Assessed the impact of course length and cost on participation.

    Main Results:

  • Only 9% of the target group attended the offered first aid training.
  • Course duration (traditional vs. condensed) did not significantly affect attendance.
  • Cost emerged as a significant deterrent, with resistance increasing above 15 cost units.

    • Conclusions:

    • Increasing community first aid competence requires addressing cost barriers.
    • Enhanced publicity campaigns highlighting the value of first aid training are crucial for higher acceptance rates.
    • Future efforts should focus on motivating participation through effective communication strategies.
