Methods: 323 workers of domestic 9 ski resorts were surveyed for data, which was collected using the systematic questionnaire from Oct. $6^{th}$ to $20^{th}$, 2011. The collected data has been processed using the program of SPSS Win. Version 14.0 and analyzed that according to the purpose of research in terms of real number, percentage, standard deviation, t-test and ANOVA. Results: 1. 58.8%(190) of ski resort workers experienced an emergency on duty and 33.6%(108) carried out the first aid for emergency patients on duty. 2. 65.6%(210) of workers experienced first aid education. 3. The percentage of correct answers of first aid knowledge was average 46.8% and average $9.35{\pm}2.54$ points out of total 20 points. 4. The first aid educational necessity indicated as follows: ski resort workers need first aid education (97.5%, 306); workers want to have the education if they have chance (94.6%, 296 persons); in addition, they need the repeated education of first aid (95.6%, 301). Conclusion: It is understood that as special first aid service can be delayed in ski resorts due to their geographical characteristics, the workers of ski resorts need the continuous and systematic first aid education enabling them to play the first responder in the first aid system when emergency situation occurs.

We conducted this study to verify effect of applying musical rhythm during the cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR) education. From June to October, 2013, we recruited participants of CPR education among mem's high school students. We divided total 57 participants to 2 groups. For experimental group we use musical rhythm during cardiac compression practice to assist adequate cardiac compression rate and for control group do not apply musical rhythm. The group with musical rhythm show more adequate compression rate(16.4sec) than non-rhythmic group(14.4sec). 90% of rhythmic group keep adequate compression rate, but only 44% of non-rhythmic group keep adequate rate. In conclusion, applying musical rhythm to CPR education is more effective to keep correct cardiac compression rate.
