Comparing outcomes of ultra-low-cost hearing aids to programmable, refurbished hearing aids for adults with high frequency hearing loss in Malawi: a feasibility study.

Access to ear and hearing health services are limited or non-existent in low-income countries, with less than 10% of the global production of hearing aids distributed to this population. The aim of this feasibility study was to compare the outcomes of an ultra-low-cost hearing aid (LoCHAid) to programmable, refurbished hearing aids for adults with high-frequency hearing loss, in Blantyre, Malawi. Sixteen adults with high frequency hearing loss, and no prior experience of hearing aids, took part in this study, nine were fitted with the LoCHAid and seven were fitted with refurbished, programmable hearing aids, for a one-month trial. Five standardized hearing qualities questionnaires were used to compare outcomes pre and post device fitting and between devices. Questionnaire scales were analysed using general linear models and inductive thematic analysis was used to evaluate qualitative data. Overall, there was no significant difference found between LoCHAid and refurbished hearing aids, and the two device types each showed a similar degree of improvement after fitting. Qualitative data analysis identified two key themes: Sound Quality and User experience. The results from this feasibility study are encouraging, but a comprehensive, larger clinical study is needed to draw firm conclusions about the LoCHAid's performance. This study has identified key improvement indicators required to enhance sound quality and user experience of the LoCHAid.

A retrospective study on epidemiological analysis of pre-hospital emergency care in Hangzhou, China.

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a leading cause of global mortality, with numerous factors influencing the patient survival rate and prognosis. This study aimed to evaluate the OHCA epidemiology in China and elaborate on the current Hangzhou emergency system status. This retrospective analysis was based on the medical history system of the Hangzhou Emergency Center registered from 2015-2021. We provided a detailed description of OHCA characteristics and investigated the factors affecting the success rate of emergency treatment in terms of epidemiology, causes of onset, bystander rescue, and outcome factors. We included 9585 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases, of which 5442 (56.8%) had evidence of resuscitation. Patients with underlying diseases constituted the vast majority (80.1%); trauma and physicochemical factors accounted for 16.5% and 3.4%, respectively. Only 30.4% of patients (about 80.0% of bystanders witnessed) received bystander first aid. The outcome rate of emergency doctors dispatched by emergency centres was significantly higher than doctors dispatched by hospitals. Additionally, physician's first-aid experience, emergency response time, emergency telephone availability, initial heart rhythm, out-of-hospital defibrillation, out-of-hospital intubation, and using of epinephrine significantly can significantly improve the out-of-hospital return of spontaneous circulation in patients. All steps in pre-hospital care are important for patients, especially for bystander first aid and physician's first-aid experience. The popularity of first-aid training and the public emergency medical system are not potent enough. We should take those key factors into consideration when developing a pre-hospital care system for OHCA.

An exploratory study on the life recovery experiences of flood affected farmers in South Punjab-Pakistan

We conducted this qualitative study to explore the life recovery experiences of farmers in one of the worst flood-hit districts of Pakistan. Data were gathered in August 2020, ten years after the disastrous 2010 floods, which hit a significant population of the country. In-depth interviews and focus group discussions were conducted to document the subjective evaluation of the study participants with regard to restoration and readjustment of routine social life, work and livelihoods. Specifically, we asked the farmers to share their life recovery experiences by recalling the factors that helped and hindered their recovery process. Thematic analysis uncovered that personal resilience, belief system, bonding social capital, formal aid and previous flood experience were the major factors that contributed positively to the farmers’ life recovery. Political patronization and perceived unfairness in distribution of disaster aid were major factors that hindered the pace of their life recovery. In general, the findings of the study indicate that positive life recovery feelings of flood affected farmers are associated with resilience/vulnerabilities at individual and community level. Flood affected famers’ life recovery experiences are shaped by trade-offs between social vulnerabilities and resilience.

Constructing a clear definition of neotraditional students and illuminating their financial aid, academic, and non-academic experiences and outcomes in the 21st century

Decades of research related to the experience of postsecondary students who are adults, work full-time, or have other life roles have not led to agreement in the field regarding who is a “nontraditional” college student. This study leverages nationally representative data to illuminate shifts in this student population in the 21st century and builds a picture of their demographics, financial aid receipt, and academic experiences. Our results suggest that, in order to capture the diversity of the 21st century students and ubiquity of students with multiple life roles, we need to carefully define this student population; the use of the term “neotraditional” would better capture the central place of students with varying life circumstances in contemporary higher education. Our descriptive analyses illuminate the implications of different definitions of neotraditionality, the landscape of neotraditional student enrollment, differences in aid receipts, and changes among this population in the past two decades. We discuss the importance of how researchers, practitioners, and policymakers define this student population and the implications of such definitions for serving this population in higher education.

Studi Literatur Intensitas Nyeri Pada Orang Dengan HIV/AIDS

Pain is one of the most commonly reported symptoms in people living with HIV / AIDS (PLWHA). There are three main reasons why people with HIV / AIDS experience pain: as a symptom of HIV infection, as a result of other illnesses or opportunistic infections, and as a side effect of ARV treatment. This literature review aims to determine the intensity of pain and the location of pain with HIV/AIDS. It uses research articles that include quantitative data. The search for articles used four databases, namely PubMed, Science Direct, SpringerLink, and Google Scholar, using the deadline from January 2015 to August 2020. The search terms chosen are "pain intensity" or "pain level" or "pain" and "People Living with HIV/AIDS" or "PLWHA." After a full-text review, ten studies meet the inclusion criteria. The results of the identification of the article show that people living with HIV who have an older age tend to experience more intense pain than the younger age. The six articles that have been identified show that people with HIV/AIDS experience pain mildly to moderate. In contrast, four other studies show that pain experienced by PLWHA is moderate to severe, with the head as the most predominantly experiencing pain. The pain in PLWHA can reduce individuals' quality of life and interfere with their ability to carry out daily activities. Nurses are required to perform routine and repeated pain assessments in HIV patients to determine appropriate pain management. Keywords: pain intensity; HIV / AIDS; literature review.

Consumer Survey on Hearing Aid Benefit and Satisfaction.

There is unexplained variability in self-reported hearing aid outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate determinants of hearing aid benefit and satisfaction ratings using a large-scale customer survey and to analyze the relation between demographic variables, hearing aid attributes, benefit, and satisfaction. The study used a retrospective design wherein 2,109 hearing aid users, recruited by Hearing Tracker and Hearing Loss Association of America, completed an online survey. The survey included questions about demographics, perceived hearing loss, devices, service delivery, cost, benefit, and satisfaction. The analytic approach included descriptive summaries and regression models to evaluate potential determinants of hearing aid benefit and satisfaction ratings. Hearing aid sound quality, fit and comfort, and battery life were related to both benefit and satisfaction. Respondents who rated these outcomes favorably were also likely to benefit from, and be satisfied with, their hearing aids. Benefit was also related to degree of hearing loss, hearing aid experience, and cost. Hearing aid users with greater self-perceived hearing loss, more hearing aid experience, and more expensive hearing aids reported more benefit. Satisfaction was also related to age, employment status, and brand. Younger respondents, those who were students, and those using certain brands reported more satisfaction. The results highlight importance of good hearing aid outcomes (quality, fit/comfort, and battery life) for benefit and satisfaction ratings. Professionals who fit hearing aids should strive to focus on achieving these outcomes and researchers should strive to explain the remaining variability in ratings of benefit and satisfaction. https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.22280854.

Real-life and real-time hearing aid experiences: Insights from self-initiated ecological momentary assessments and natural language analysis.

Smartphone technology can provide an effective means to bring real-life and (near-)real-time feedback from hearing aid wearers into the clinic. Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) encourages listeners to report on their experiences during or shortly after they take place in order to minimize recall bias, e.g., guided by surveys in a mobile application. Allowing listeners to describe experiences in their own words, further, ensures that answers are independent of predefined jargon or of how survey questions are formulated. Through these means, one can obtain ecologically valid sets of data, for instance during a hearing aid trial, which can support clinicians to assess the needs of their clients, provide directions for fine-tuning, and counselling. At a larger scale, such datasets would facilitate training of machine learning algorithms that could help hearing technology to anticipate user needs. In this retrospective, exploratory analysis of a clinical data set, we performed a cluster analysis on 8,793 open-text statements, which were collected through self-initiated EMAs, provided by 2,301 hearing aid wearers as part of their hearing care. Our aim was to explore how listeners describe their daily life experiences with hearing technology in (near-)real-time, in their own words, by identifying emerging themes in the reports. We also explored whether identified themes correlated with the nature of the experiences, i.e., self-reported satisfaction ratings indicating a positive or negative experience. Results showed that close to 60% of listeners' reports related to speech intelligibility in challenging situations and sound quality dimensions, and tended to be valued as positive experiences. In comparison, close to 40% of reports related to hearing aid management, and tended to be valued as negative experiences. This first report of open-text statements, collected through self-initiated EMAs as part of clinical practice, shows that, while EMA can come with a participant burden, at least a subsample of motivated hearing aid wearers could use these novel tools to provide feedback to inform more responsive, personalized, and family-centered hearing care.

Experience and Exploration of Social Aid in Major Public Health Emergencies

NCP (novel coronavirus pneumonia) is another public health emergency after the SARS. Social aid has significantly protected the life and health of civil service targets, such as older adults, children, homeless people, and people in need. It can alleviate the difficulty of the rescued targets' life and increase their confidence in overcoming the epidemic. Social aid is the vital cornerstone that overcomes the epidemic, reduces the negative impact, and maintains social stability. Based on the actual situation, this paper analyzes and researches social assistance policies and measures of the epidemic in various regions, discovers existing problems, and explores ideas for solving them.

Assessment of Family Members’ First Aid Education in Saudi Arabia

Background: Providing instant care for life-saving or rescuing the injured or sick people requires having a considerable amount of first aid (FA) knowledge and experience. The current work sheds some light on the current status of Saudi family members’ first aid knowledge and experience aiming at reaching a sustainable decrease in the number of deaths and unnecessary losses. Methodology: A questionnaire was used to collect (N=447) participants’ information 35.6% (159/447) males and 64.4% (288/447) females from a number of Saudi cities. The collected data were analyzed using IBM SPSS v 25. Results: The results showed that 48.3% (216/447) of the participants have good FA experience and only 7.2% (32/447) have excellent FA experience. The majority of the participants 65.3% (292/447) were not FA-certified, 22.8% (102/447) attended an FA course, and 11.9% (53/447) were certified first aiders. 93.7% (419/447) of the participants think that the community’s FA awareness is low. The results also reported statistically significant association between being related to health care sector and FA experience χ2(3) = 56.8, p = 0.000, witnessing accidents and gender v χ2(7) = 19.1, p = 0.008, and having got FA tools and FA experience χ2(3) = 28.5, p = 0.000. Conclusion: The current study’s results along with numerous similar research provoke a public outcry to take practical steps towards enhancing a sustainable community’s FA education through campaigns, workshops, and training courses.

Irish primary school teachers’ experiences, training and knowledge in first aid

ABSTRACT Injury and illness can occur in children. Since children spend a considerable amount of time in school, teachers must have the ability to assist when required. However, no research to date has examined Irish primary school teachers’ experiences, training and knowledge in first aid. An online survey (n = 587) examined Irish male and female primary school teachers previous first aid experiences, training and knowledge. Respondents generally showed high levels of both previous first aid training and exposure to events requiring first aid. In addition, most teachers knew the location of the school’s first aid equipment and were aware of their school’s first aid policy. However, many felt ill-equipped to deal with these situations, particularly for serious incidents and over a third of teachers were not currently certified in first aid. While teachers displayed good overall knowledge, gaps were evident. The findings demonstrate the need to develop a multilevel school strategy to ensure teacher proficiency and school preparedness in managing situations requiring first aid.

Assessment of Consumer Attitudes Following Recent Changes in the US Hearing Health Care Market

The addition of over-the-counter hearing aid (HA) options has transformed the way individuals can access hearing health care (HHC). However, although critical to their adoption and use, consumer attitudes and opinions about direct-to-consumer (DTC) models of health care are often understudied. To assess how recent DTC market changes in HHC delivery may be associated with consumer choice and attitudes towards specific HHC models. A mixed-methods survey, distributed online between March 22 and 25, 2022, using Qualtrics Survey Panels. Participants were US residents older than 50 years with no previous hearing aid experience, enrolled using consecutive sampling. A minimum of 1000 completed responses was set; once the 70% threshold was met, any future respondent who identified as White would not be given the survey. Respondents were asked to report their level of comfort with using different variations of DTC-HHC and asked about their previous experience with other DTC health care models. Respondents then reported which model (in-person vs online) of HHC they would most likely pursue. Of 1377 respondents, 1037 were included in the survey study (mean [SD] age, 61.4 [7.84] years; 714 [69.0%] were female; 674 [65.0%] were White). Most respondents reported discomfort with pursuing hearing aids via DTC pathways, with 84% (874 of 1037) indicating they would pursue HHC via an in-person model. Individuals who were older (odds ratio [OR], 0.95; 95% CI, 0.92-0.98), reported an income greater than $150 000 (OR, 0.29; 95% CI, 0.08-0.91), and were not interested in HA (OR, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.23-0.79) were less likely to pursue HHC online. Those who had previous experience with DTC health care (OR, 1.97; 95% CI, 1.27-3.02), and did not have (OR, 2.61; 95% CI, 1.59-4.31) or were uncertain (OR, 2.05; 95% CI, 1.13-3.70) about their insurance coverage for HA were more likely to pursue HHC online. Current consumer attitudes and opinions found in this survey study suggest that DTC-HHC may not find immediate acceptance by most potential HA seekers in the US.

Point-of-Care Ultrasound (PoCUS) and Its Potential to Advance Patient Care in Low-Resource Settings and Conflict Zones.

Point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) is used by health care professionals of various specialties worldwide, with excellent results demonstrating significant potential to advance patient care. However, in low resource areas of the world, where other imaging modalities are scarce and the potential of handheld pocket-sized PoCUS devices with great versatility and increasing affordability seems most significant, its use is far from being widespread. In this report, our group of Chadian, Israeli, and Canadian physicians with experience in rural, military, and conflict zone medical aid, discusses the barriers to the implementation of PoCUS in low resource areas and offers potential solutions.

Американська політико-економічна доктрина у повоєнній відбудові Європи (друга половина 1940-х – початок 1950-х років): історичні уроки для України

In the context of the current tasks facing Ukraine as a result of the ongoing armed aggression of the Russian Federation and growing human losses and destruction of economic potential, it is important to rethink the historical experience of reconstruction plans and foreign aid to European countries in the second half of the 1940s – early 1950s. The purpose of the article is to assess the possibilities and reservations regarding the provision of large-scale foreign aid to Ukraine based on a study of the setting and implementation of the goals of the US foreign economic policy during the reconstruction of Europe after World War II. General scientific approaches of interdisciplinarity, synergetics and evolutionism, methods of empirical history, hermeneutic analysis of historical documents, and a systemic approach to generalizing economic trends and determining cause-and-effect relationships are used. It was established that the prerequisites for the provision of foreign aid were strong mutual interest: the US economy needed market expansion, and European countries needed humanitarian aid and restoration of economic potential. The political determinants of the development of post-war reconstruction projects were opposition to Soviet expansion and socialist ideology, which was gaining popularity. The ideas of spreading the principles of democracy and free trade, promoting investments, and stabilizing economies for general security and development served as the doctrinal basis of the US foreign policy. The principles of American aid envisaged ensuring the growing self-sufficiency of the economic revival of Europe; receiving dividends from reconstruction assistance; stimulation of technological renewal of the US economy. The organizational, financial, and technological components of the post-war reconstruction plans ensured the achievement of the main goals – restoration of production, modernization of infrastructure, stabilization of finances and international settlements. The formed institutional structure of economic cooperation and management of post-war recovery contributed to the realization of the objective function of providing foreign aid - the return to self-sustaining economic development of Europe and the expansion of the area of the free market for the international movement of goods and capital. The criteria for achieving the goals of the United States, which were established during the development of plans for assistance in the post-war reconstruction of European countries, are defined as: creation of new markets for American goods, return of investments and receipt of income; ensuring high rates of economic growth both in the USA and in the countries of Western Europe; reduction of investment risks; technological renewal of production; reduction of trade barriers in international trade; institutional support for US global leadership; effective opposition to the Soviet bloc and the international communist movement. The effectiveness of American plans and measures of post-war reconstruction as a way of forming a new institutional order of the world economy has been confirmed. Based on the analysis of the historical experience of foreign aid in the post-war reconstruction of European countries, the main lessons for modern Ukraine are summarized: 1) donor countries should be economically interested in providing aid; 2) Ukraine must develop and implement institutional-legal and organizational-management mechanisms for realizing its own economic interests and defending national priorities.

Deaf signers and hearing aids: motivations, access, competency and service effectiveness

Objectives This study concerns culturally Deaf signers in the UK who use hearing aids and (i) explores motivations for hearing aid use (ii) identifies barriers and facilitators to accessing NHS hearing aid services, (iii) examines cultural competency of hearing aid clinics and (iv) identifies factors influencing effective adult hearing aid service provision. Design Online survey in British Sign Language and English that was informed by Deaf service users. Study sample 75 Deaf adult BSL users who wear hearing aids and use NHS hearing aid clinics. Results No specific reason emerged as outstandingly important for hearing aid use; however, assisting with lipreading (57%) and listening to music (52%) were rated as very/extremely important. Access issues reported were contacting clinics, poor communication with staff and lack of Deaf awareness. To be an effective and culturally competent hearing aid clinic for Deaf signers, a good understanding of Deaf culture and language was most rated as important (87%). Conclusion The study is the first that explores hearing aid use and experiences of accessing hearing aid clinics from Deaf signers’ perspectives. Enhancements to clinical practice are required to consider culturally Deaf people’s motivations for hearing aid use and make services more BSL-friendly.

CheckMyFit

Putting on hearing aids (HAs) is a regular and crucial task for every hearing aid wearer. A sub-optimal insertion can impact user adoption and audiological benefit. Ability to visually evaluate the insertion can be helpful to achieve a proper physical fit of hearing aids or similar devices, but this is currently a challenging task. In this work we present CheckMyFit, a smartphone-based, automated solution enabling users to quickly take a photo of their hearing aid placement, and compare it with a reference ideal insertion. To evaluate the tool's usability and potential benefit we conducted two user studies: a) a pilot lab study with 7 participants, and b) a field study with 17 participants. In the two-week field study, older participants with no prior hearing aid experiences were instructed on hearing aid insertion remotely and performed daily insertions independently at home. We found that CheckMyFit is easy and quick to use for almost all participants. Ear-photo-aided insertions tend to have higher quality than insertions without the tool. This correlation was significant and persisted throughout the 2 weeks of the study, and is retained after a short break. This suggests that CheckMyFit tool can provide real-world benefit to new users learning to insert their hearing aids. We also used CheckMyFit to remotely facilitate the field study, demonstrating its potential usefulness in tele-medicine.

Impact of Mental Health First Aid Training Courses on Patients' Mental Health.

Background With the prevalence of mental issues worldwide, more and more people are suffering from psychological torture. Mental Health Gap Action Program (mhGAP) has been introduced to improve the life quality of humans. Objectives To explore and synthesize evidence of participants' experience of mental health first aid (MHFA) training course. Method Peer-reviewed qualitative evidence was systematically reviewed and thematically synthesized. Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Psychological Information (PsycINFO), PubMed, Psych ARTICLES, Web of Science, Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI), and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) databases were searched for the inception of the present study. The study's quality was appraised using the Critical Appraisal Checklist for Qualitative Research of Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) appraisal tool. All the participants who have attended the MHFA training course (excluding instructors) setting were included. Results Six papers published between 2005 and 2019 were included for thematic synthesis. The review indicated that MHFA had been a positive experience for participants. Conclusions MHFA courses can provide participants with professional knowledge of mental health counseling and improve their knowledge, practice, and attitudes towards their patients. Professional MHFA training courses should therefore be popularized and promoted among other populations.

The Use of Innovative Materials in First Aid

The quality of first aid is affected not only by the adequacy, but also by the speed of the measures taken. Given the important factor of the lack of regular funds for providing assistance in the first minutes after an injury, combined with the lack of experience in first aid among the majority of the population, it is more likely to predict a low or ineffective result of such activities. We compared traditional bandage dressings and an innovative tool — a first aid signal tape.

User Experience of a Computer-Based Decision Aid for Prenatal Trisomy Screening: Mixed Methods Explanatory Study.

BackgroundMobile health tools can support shared decision-making. We developed a computer-based decision aid (DA) to help pregnant women and their partners make informed, value-congruent decisions regarding prenatal screening for trisomy.ObjectiveThis study aims to assess the usability and usefulness of computer-based DA among pregnant women, clinicians, and policy makers.MethodsFor this mixed methods sequential explanatory study, we planned to recruit a convenience sample of 45 pregnant women, 45 clinicians from 3 clinical sites, and 15 policy makers. Eligible women were aged >18 years and >16 weeks pregnant or had recently given birth. Eligible clinicians and policy makers were involved in prenatal care. We asked the participants to navigate a computer-based DA. We asked the women about the usefulness of the DA and their self-confidence in decision-making. We asked all participants about usability, quality, acceptability, satisfaction with the content of the DA, and collected sociodemographic data. We explored participants’ reactions to the computer-based DA and solicited suggestions. Our interview guide was based on the Mobile App Rating Scale. We performed descriptive analyses of the quantitative data and thematic deductive and inductive analyses of the qualitative data for each participant category.ResultsA total of 45 pregnant women, 14 clinicians, and 8 policy makers participated. Most pregnant women were aged between 25 and 34 years (34/45, 75%) and White (42/45, 94%). Most clinicians were aged between 35 and 44 years (5/14, 36%) and women (11/14, 79%), and all were White (14/14, 100%); the largest proportion of policy makers was aged between 45 and 54 years (4/8, 50%), women (5/8, 62%), and White (8/8, 100%). The mean usefulness score for preparing for decision-making for women was 80/100 (SD 13), and the mean self-efficacy score was 88/100 (SD 11). The mean usability score was 84/100 (SD 14) for pregnant women, 77/100 (SD 14) for clinicians, and 79/100 (SD 23) for policy makers. The mean global score for quality was 80/100 (SD 9) for pregnant women, 72/100 (SD 12) for clinicians, and 80/100 (SD 9) for policy makers. Regarding acceptability, participants found the amount of information just right (52/66, 79%), balanced (58/66, 88%), useful (38/66, 58%), and sufficient (50/66, 76%). The mean satisfaction score with the content was 84/100 (SD 13) for pregnant women, 73/100 (SD 16) for clinicians, and 73/100 (SD 20) for policy makers. Participants thought the DA could be more engaging (eg, more customizable) and suggested strategies for implementation, such as incorporating it into clinical guidelines.ConclusionsPregnant women, clinicians, and policy makers found the DA usable and useful. The next steps are to incorporate user suggestions for improving engagement and implementing the computer-based DA in clinical practice.

공항 내 근로자의 안전 의식, 응급상황 인식 및 응급상황 대처 능력에 관한 연구

In the cabin, in case of an emergency, cabin crew must legally receive first aid training, and can respond to emergency situations, first aid and instructions according to the guide provided for medical situations. However, in an airport that is used by a large number of people in addition to passengers, such as facility users, meals, shopping, etc., any worker at the airport must respond to the situation in case of an emergency. After January 2020, the global pandemic COVID-19 Therefore, it is necessary to deal more with infection control in the cabin and at the airport. Airport workers are responding to various patient situations with simple safety manuals written for each workplace (department), but not much training is provided. Airport workers are not given separate statutory training hours. As the first responders, it was attempted to understand the safety awareness and awareness of emergency situations and coping abilities of the workers at the airport where they can encounter patients for the first time at the scene. The questionnaire was modified and developed in consideration of the characteristics of workers' work in the airport, and consisted of safety and health education, emergency situation awareness, and emergency response ability, so that the responses of the subjects could be easily answered with 'yes' and 'no'. The questionnaire was modified and developed in consideration of the characteristics of workers' work in the airport, and consisted of safety and health education, emergency situation awareness, and emergency response ability, so that the responses of the subjects could be easily answered with 'yes' and 'no'. I explained how to connect to the airport worker so that they could use the Google survey, and 129 subjects who agreed to the survey responded. A survey was conducted from December 2020 to January 2021, and frequency analysis was performed using SPSS/WIN 18.0 to understand the characteristics of the level of safety awareness. Safety and health education for workers in airports 'Yes' 125 people (96.9%) showed that the airport was conducting safety education, and 118 people (91.5%) who had first aid experience were high, and the first responders This indicates that there is a lot of experience in first aid in case of an outbreak of a patient. As for the contents of first aid education, 54 people (41.9%) indicated that they received a lot of education in basic resuscitation (CPR, AED) and received education in medical and surgical situations. As for the degree of awareness of emergency situations, the overall awareness was high in the four questions on the field evaluation (site safety), and the awareness was high overall in the consciousness evaluation, airway evaluation, and respiration evaluation. Since the ability to cope with emergency situations cannot be applied to actual practice, a total of 7 patient cases were presented, and questions were written and answered for each case. It showed that they were well aware of burn cases, internal medicine cases, and cardiac arrest cases, but did not accurately recognize them in respiratory emergency cases, trauma cases, environmental emergency cases, and other emergency cases.
