Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this study is to assess the impact of a first aid training delivered through a blended learning approach on learning outcomes and helping behaviour in adult laypeople in Rwanda. Participants will be randomly assigned to either: - a first aid training with blended learning approach; - a first aid training with conventional face-to-face approach; - no first aid training. All participants will be asked before, immediately after, and 6 months after the first aid trainings to complete - a questionnaire on first aid-related knowledge, self-efficacy, and willingness to help; - a practical test on first aid-related skills. The helping behaviour of the participants will be surveyed before and 6 months after the first aid trainings have been completed. Researchers will compare the effects in learning outcomes and helping behaviour after 6 months between: - the first aid training with blended learning approach and no first aid training; - the first aid training with blended learning approach and first aid training with conventional face-to-face approach.

Intervention

Other:
First aid training with blended learning approach
The content of the first aid blended learning training is standardised and based on the 2021 edition of the Basic First Aid in Africa manual from the Belgian Red Cross, covering first aid general principles and instructions for: emergencies (i.e. choking, unconsciousness with and without normal breathing, chest discomfort and stroke, poisoning, and severe external bleeding); injuries (i.e. skin wounds, burns, and injuries to muscles, joints, limbs, head, neck, and back); illnesses (i.e. fainting, fever, fits, and diarrhoea). The training consists of 2 consecutive parts: First aid theory is learned independently in a mobile application followed by an online test to ob-tain an admission ticket for the subsequent in-class training; First aid skills are practiced during a 1-day in-class training facilitated by a certified first aid instructor of the Rwanda Red Cross. Participants get at least 10 days to learn in the mobile application and obtain the admission ticket.
First aid training with face-to-face approach
The content of the first aid face-to-face training is standardised and based on the 2021 edition of the Basic First Aid in Africa manual from the Belgian Red Cross, covering first aid general principles and instructions for: emergencies (i.e. choking, unconsciousness with and without normal breathing, chest discomfort and stroke, poisoning, and severe external bleeding); injuries (i.e. skin wounds, burns, and injuries to muscles, joints, limbs, head, neck, and back); illnesses (i.e. fainting, fever, fits, and diarrhoea). The training consists of a 3-days in-class training with lectures and practical exercises on first aid the-ory and skills, facilitated by a certified first aid instructor of the Rwanda Red Cross.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Costs Costs associated with a first aid training, relatively to the gain in knowledge. Before, immediately after, and 6 months after the first aid trainings
Primary First aid knowledge 20-item multiple choice questionnaire about first aid topics using a numerical scale. Possible scores range from 0 to 20, with higher scores meaning a better outcome. Before, immediately after, and 6 months after the first aid trainings
Secondary First aid skills 22-item observation checklist about first aid practical skills using a numerical scale. Possible scores range from 0 to 30, with higher scores meaning a better outcome. Before, immediately after, and 6 months after the first aid trainings
Secondary First aid self-efficacy 10-item scenario-based questionnaire using a 5-point Likert scale assessing self-efficacy concerning first aid topics. Possible scores range from 0 to 40, with higher scores meaning a better outcome. Before, immediately after, and 6 months after the first aid trainings
Secondary First aid willingness to help 6-item scenario-based questionnaire using a 5-point Likert scale assessing willingness to help concerning first aid topics. Possible scores range from 0 to 24, with higher scores meaning a better outcome. Before, immediately after, and 6 months after the first aid trainings
Secondary Helping behaviour in the past 6 months Structured questionnaire to survey the helping behaviour and to gauge the potential barriers and facilitators. Before and 6 months after the first aid trainings
