Filter by:The aim of this project was to determine the effect of the burn prevention and first aid mobile application developed for families living in tent cities and container houses after the earthquake on the burn prevention and first aid knowledge of families and the development of burns in the first two months after the mobile application. The research was planned as a prospective, two-arm (1:1), randomized controlled trial. The study population will consist of families living in tent cities and container houses in Şanlıurfa. As a result of the power analysis performed in the G*Power program, the sample group will consist of 30 families from the tent city and 30 families from the container city, taking into account the losses with a power of 90% and a maximum bidirectional 5% type error. All of the families (30 mobile application-study group; 30 control group) who make up the sample of the research will be given a training (powerpoint presentation) prepared by the researcher in line with the literature, and burn prevention and first aid practices will be explained and their questions will be answered. Then, the training to be given with the mobile application will be downloaded to the phones of the families in the experimental group and the training will continue through the application. In the study, data will be collected with the "Descriptive Characteristics Form", "Information Form on Burn Prevention and First Aid" and "Burn Development Follow-up Form", which include the descriptive information of the families. The data obtained from the study will be analyzed in computer environment.
Background: First aid skills are clinical performance ability requiring a higher level of skills for new nurses. At present, the focus of first aid-related teaching materials and methods remain on books and physical courses. E-books have not yet been applied to first aid skills training for new nurses despite their advantage of making reading, learning, and reviewing available at any time. Objective: To assess the effect of receiving interactive first aid e-book interventions on new nurses in a medical center in southern Taiwan in respect of first aid knowledge, self-efficacy, and first aid skills. Methods: A two-group three-time repeated measures experimental design was adopted. 70 qualified new nurses were randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group, each composed of 35 nurses. The experimental group received a one-hour e-book course plus one month of first aid e-book intervention and regular training, whereas the control group only received one month of regular training. Performance indicators included administering the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) on first aid skills, and questionnaires for knowledge and self-efficacy related to first aid skills. The experimental group received qualitative interviews and filled out the system usability scale one month after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the independent samples t-test, chi-squared test, paired samples t-test, and generalized estimating equations (GEE).
