Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Injuries can become emergencies and cause serious harm if not addressed properly. Understanding and readiness in early emergency handling skills are crucial to prevent the deterioration of the patient’s condition. First aid is assistance provided to victims with the aim of preventing the situation from worsening before professional healthcare is available. This study aims to conduct a literature review to assess understanding of basic first aid in emergency cases.
Materials and Methods: This study uses a Literature Review method to collect and analyze data from previous researchers. Out of the total journals reviewed, 13 were selected based on the criteria of knowledge about first aid skills in emergency cases among laypersons.
Results: The review reveals that 2 articles indicate that the average respondent’s knowledge and skills regarding first aid in emergency cases are categorized as poor. Five articles conclude that the average respondent has a good understanding of first aid in emergency cases, while 5 articles fall into the moderate or sufficient understanding category.
Conclusion: The literature study concludes that the basic understanding of first aid in emergency cases is generally still categorized as poor or weak and moderate or sufficient.
