Abstract

To analyze the current situation of first aid knowledge and skills of community residents in Yibin City and related influencing factors, and to explore effective ways to improve the knowledge and skills of community residents in Yibin City. A questionnaire survey was conducted with a convenience sample of 589 community residents in Yibin city. The first aid questionnaire designed by Li Li was used to investigate the knowledge of seven aspects, including first aid telephone, cardiac and respiratory arrest, trauma, accidental injury, common emergencies and other first aid. The score of first aid knowledge was (35.2±6.9), and the pass rate was 72.84%. It was found that there were statistical differences in the total pass rate of first aid knowledge and skills among community residents with different genders, ages, occupations, training experiences, and text studies, but there was no statistical difference in the total pass rate of first aid knowledge and skills among community residents with different health conditions and different first aid experiences. Community residents who were female, 18-25 years old, medical personnel/medical students, had training experience, and had obtained a first aid certificate had the highest pass rates and the best first aid knowledge and skills.
