BACKGROUND: Knowledge of prehospital scene care for injured person in road accidents is essential for improving outcome and saving lives of traffic accident victims. However, the situation of the COVID-19 pandemic may cause people’s inability to access in-person first aid training.
AIM: This study aimed to determine the effect of first aid self-learning web application for road accident victims on the knowledge and satisfaction of the web application users.
METHODS: A prospective, single-arm, and educational cohort study was conducted among second-year physical education participants at Khon Kaen University attending first aid self-learning web application for road accident victims in July 2021. All participants were attended ten lessons covering important content of first aid for an injured person in road accidents. Each lesson includes reading texts, 3-min animation videos, and pre-test and post-test. Data analysis includes a comparison of the pre-test and post-test knowledge scores using the paired t-test. The participant’s satisfaction was analyzed using descriptive statistics.
RESULTS: The 42 participants were participated in this study. Sixty-two percent of the participants had no previous first aid experience for an injured person in road accidents. The mean pre-test and post-test scores were 25.31 ± 3.87 and 27.50 ± 2.91, respectively. There was a significant difference between the pre-test and the post-test scores (p < 0.001). The participant’s level of satisfaction score was very good (4.25 ± 0.95).
CONCLUSIONS: The first aid self-learning web application significantly improved the first aid knowledge of the web application users. Moreover, most participants reported good level of satisfaction for using this tool. This emphasized that the first aid self-learning web application was the great tool in COVID-19 learning.Downloads
