Abstract
Purpose: This study was a descriptive research to provide basic data for the development of a customized emergency education program to strengthen the capacity of first aid for nursing caregivers. Method: The number of caregivers in region G was 193, and data collection was conducted from April 1 to April 30, 2018. Data were analyzed using a t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and Scheffe test. Results: In the study group 47.2% experienced an emergency situation. The first aid knowledge was 10.21; the correct answer rate was 56.0%; the basic CPR knowledge was 3.99; the correct answer rate was 49.7%. After asking for help, first aid was the most difficult. In general first aid knowledge was 6.21 points and the correct answer rate was 62.2%. They understood well about strokes, injuries and trauma, but had difficulty in consciousness, depression, and burns. For first aid knowledge, there were significant differences according to age, working hours, place of work, working experience, emergency situation, and education. Of the study group, 59.6% experienced emergency training, 96.9% wanted it, and 72.0% had low emergency response skills. Moreover, 93.3% answered for having emergency education. Conclusion: The results suggest that a personalized emergency education program for nursing caregivers should be developed and applied.
