Detailed Description

This research focuses on identifying the first aid needs of female agricultural workers and assessing the impact of a structured basic first aid training program on their knowledge and practical skills. The study will be conducted in Kadıköy neighborhood, Silivri district, Istanbul Province, a region with active agricultural activities.

The training program integrates theoretical and practical components, designed in collaboration with 10 experts in the field. Theoretical sessions will be delivered through presentations and educational brochures. Practical training will include hands-on demonstrations and skill assessments, focusing on bleeding control and the Heimlich maneuver. Simulated scenarios will be employed using an arm model with moulage and a CPR manikin, with performance evaluated through standardized assessment forms.

The study is scheduled to take place from November 2024 to May 2025. Data collection will involve pre-training assessments to establish baseline knowledge and skills, immediate post-training evaluations to determine the program's effectiveness, and a six-month follow-up to assess knowledge retention and the real-world application of first aid skills. A total of 43 participants, calculated using G*Power analysis for a repeated-measures design, will ensure adequate statistical power.

By addressing the first aid needs of female agricultural workers, this study aims to enhance workplace safety, empower workers to manage occupational risks effectively, and contribute to better health outcomes within agricultural settings.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: female agricultural workers
A behavioral intervention consisting of first aid training for female agricultural workers, with a pre-test administered prior to the training, a post-test immediately following the training, and a follow-up test conducted after six months to assess knowledge retention and the application of skills.
Behavioral: first aid training
A pre-test will be applied to the participants in a single group before the training. After the training is applied, a post-test will be done and a follow-up will be done at the end of 6 months and a post-test will be applied.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The Impact of Basic First Aid Training on Knowledge Levels
Time Frame: The initial assessment will be conducted immediately after training, followed by a six-month evaluation.
The primary outcome of this study is to assess the effect of basic first aid training on the knowledge levels and practical skills of female agricultural workers, both prior to and following the training. The evaluation will focus on meaningful improvements in knowledge and practical skills, which will be measured using the 'First Aid Knowledge Level Survey' and 'Practical Skills Assessments.' The practical skills assessments will involve evaluating the ability to apply bandages in cases of bleeding and to perform the Heimlich maneuver for airway obstruction.
The initial assessment will be conducted immediately after training, followed by a six-month evaluation.
