Abstract
OLMOS GOMEZ, María de Carmen; PAIS ROLDAN, Paula and TIERNO ANTON, Alberto. University training situation in first aid for future teachers in Spain. Index Enferm [online]. 2020, vol.29, n.1-2, pp.91-95. Epub Oct 19, 2020. ISSN 1699-5988.
The community of healthcare providers (doctors, nurses, etc.) focuses more and more on increasing awareness about the importance and usefulness of first aid when dealing with accidents and critical health situations, especially in minors. That is why first aid training for teachers is considered to be the utmost importance, which is also leant by the recommendation to provide these contents from the schools and to start even at a young age.
Main aim:
analyse the current situation with respect to the University training in first aid offered within publicly provided degrees to future teachers of infant primary education in Spanish territory.
Methodology:
the study was a cross-sectional descriptive content analysis of relevant documents.
Results:
show that 28% of the 194 degrees analysed included plans or specific content about first aid within the course. In those cases, the responsible trainers of these contents are usually Graduates of Medicine or Nursing.
Conclusion:
there is still no consensus or unanimous commitment on behalf of universities to include first aid as essential content in the training of future education professionals.
