Keywords:
Basic life support, knowledge, Skills, Attitudes, Motorcycle taxi ridersAbstract
This quasi-experimental research with a one-group pretest-posttest design aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a first aid and basic life support training program on the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of motorcycle taxi riders. The sample consisted of 47 motorcycle taxi drivers selected through purposive sampling based on inclusion criteria. The research instruments included a personal information questionnaire, pre- and post-training assessments of knowledge, skills, and attitudes regarding first aid and basic life support, and a first aid and basic life support training program. The training program consisted of four steps: reflection before the training program, knowledge and attitude building, skill practice through small group sessions with facilitators to review knowledge at each station, and reflection after the program. The researcher developed the program based on a literature review and Bloom’s taxonomy of learning, which can be applied to the design and evaluation of training programs.
The results revealed that the mean scores of the sample group’s knowledge, skills, and attitudes towards first aid and basic life support were significantly higher after participating in the program (p<.05). This indicates that the program effectively developed the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of the participants. The findings can be applied to enhance the potential of the public and relevant personnel in efficiently assisting individuals in emergency situations.
