Summary
Physical Education students often face injuries like fractures and sprains. Most students lack comprehensive first aid knowledge for common accidents, highlighting a need for improved training.
Area of Science:
- Sports Medicine
- Injury Prevention
- Emergency Care
Background:
- Physical Education students are prone to various injuries including fractures, sprains, strains, cramps, bleeding, and wounds.
- Adequate first aid knowledge is crucial for immediate care following sports-related accidents.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the first aid knowledge of Physical Education students regarding common injuries.
- To identify specific areas where first aid knowledge is lacking among these students.
Main Methods:
- Survey-based assessment of first aid knowledge among Physical Education students.
- Evaluation of knowledge across eight common injury types.
Main Results:
- More than half of the students demonstrated correct first aid knowledge for only three injuries: fracture, cramp, and bleeding.
- Significant knowledge gaps were identified for cut wounds, penetrating wounds, falls, sprains, and epistaxis (nosebleeds).
Conclusions:
- There is a critical need to enhance first aid education for Physical Education students.
- Recommended interventions include specialized medical personnel teaching courses with both theoretical and practical clinical components.
