Abstract
The fast-paced lifestyle resulting from China's rapid economic development has caused more than 500 million sudden cardiac deaths in 2020. Online first-aid education for the public is considered a key potential solution to avoid such incidents and would have great practical value. This study focuses on understanding the impact of past first-aid experience on the intention for online learning of first-aid knowledge and skills from the perspective of individual psychological factors based on the construction level and prosociality theories. More specifically, it tests the mediating roles of psychological distances and prosociality, which reflect psychological status, in the relationship between experience and learning intention along with a series of associated demographic variables. Primary data collected via a survey are analyzed through regression analysis. The results show that first-aid experience has a significant positive impact on online first-aid learning intention. In addition, psychological distances from first-aid events, and prosociality, play mediating roles in the relationship between first-aid experience and learning intention. Thus, this study contributes to understanding first-aid learning intention by revealing the impact of the individual factors of psychological distances and prosociality.
Highlights
With the rapid development of the social economy, the incidence of sudden diseases is relatively high owing to the fast pace of life and unhealthy lifestyles
We suggest that the influence of emergency experience on online first-aid learning intention can be mediated by prosociality
We tested the relationship between emergency experience and psychological distances (PDs), and the relationship between PDs and online first-aid learning intention without the mediating role of PDs
Summary
With the rapid development of the social economy, the incidence of sudden diseases is relatively high owing to the fast pace of life and unhealthy lifestyles. The public in China lacks opportunities to be trained formally in a standardized and systematic manner. In this regard, the online learning of first-aid knowledge and skills based on the development of online learning technology breaks through the limitations of time and space, and facilitates training that is more flexible, extensive, and convenient. Past emergency experience provides an immersive experience for individuals to understand the severe consequence of emergency events. Existing conclusions deducted mixed results to Factors of First-Aid Learning understand the relationship between emergency experience and subsequent behavior. Learning first-aid knowledge and skills online could help individuals better respond to emergency events in the future. This article aims to understand the relationship between emergency experience and first-aid online learning intention
