This one-group pretest-posttest design quasi-experimental research aimed to study the effectiveness of a child drowning life support education program on knowledge and resuscitation skills of village health volunteers in Khlong Chanak Subdistrict Health Promoting Hospital of Surat Thani Province. The sample was 30 village health volunteers. The instrument used in the research was an educational program to promote knowledge on resuscitation in case of drowning children. The learning method was based on the Five-Step Learning Theory (5 STEPs). Data were collected with a test to measure knowledge in resuscitation in the event of giving life support to a drowning child, as well as an evaluation form for resuscitation skills in case of saving a drowning child, and a satisfaction assessment form. The content validity of the questionnaire was verified by 3 experts, obtaining an IOC higher than .67. The reliability of the questionnaire in the knowledge part was tested using the Kuder Richardson-21, obtaining a value of .65. While the evaluation form for resuscitation skills and the satisfaction assessment form were tested using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, obtaining values of .87 and .82, respectively. The data were analyzed by percentage, mean, standard deviation, and paired t-test.
The results showed that the mean score of knowledge and skills of village health volunteers after receiving the program was significantly higher than before receiving the program (p<.05). Their satisfaction mean score in participating in the educational program in resuscitation in case of drowning children was at a high level.
Per findings, this educational promotion program on resuscitation in case of drowning children should be extended to other places that have a waterfront context or regular flooding.
