    Self-training in first aid is effective for theoretical knowledge. Group instruction using varied materials significantly improved practical skills compared to home study alone.

    Area of Science:

    • Emergency Medicine
    • Medical Education

    Background:

    • Acquiring life-supporting first aid knowledge and skills is crucial for laypeople.
    • Traditional first aid training often relies on qualified instructors, which may limit accessibility.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of two self-training methods for first aid acquisition among laypeople.
    • To compare group instruction versus at-home self-training in imparting theoretical knowledge and practical skills.

    Main Methods:

    • A study involving 230 lay participants was conducted.
    • Two self-training approaches were assessed: group instruction and individual home-based study.
    • Both methods utilized audiotapes, flip charts, booklets, first aid supplies, and a training mannikin.

    Main Results:

    • Both self-training methods demonstrated equal efficacy in transferring theoretical first aid knowledge.
    • The group instruction format proved superior in developing practical first aid skills.

    Conclusions:

    • Self-directed learning can effectively impart theoretical first aid knowledge.
    • Structured group instruction enhances the acquisition of practical first aid skills more effectively than solitary home study.
