Project Summary

Everywhere in the world, first aid is the basic knowledge that an individual needs to master in order to be able to help their loved ones and themselves in crisis situations. Knowledge and providing first aid is a must for everyone and should be part of a general culture. It is very important for young people to know and understand the importance of providing help at a given moment. Research has shown that the assistance provided by a person who immediately finds himself at the scene of an accident is an initial and very important link in saving lives. First aid is an act of saving lives, but it is also a reflection of humanity, altruism and a sense of need for other people and first aid knowledge should be part of citizens’ health culture.
With this project we want to improve the quality of first aid for the general population through the development of online manuals and training for using the manual. The form of the manual itself is designed to be easily accessible, free of charge, clearly written, easy to follow, and not sufficiently expert with recorded simulations of actual injuries. Simulating real injuries and dealing with them will help any person who wants to learn first aid knowledge to spot and properly apply procedures, procedures in the care of the injured on the spot. All the innovations that would show up during the research work, which would be found in the manual and would be expertly explained through the seminar. The seminar itself is planned to complement the online manual in training seminar participants to apply innovative first aid guidelines based on the online manual.
Behind this project are 5 secondary vocational schools from Portugal, Spain, Turkey, Macedonia and Serbia. Each participating school in this project seeks to utilize their knowledge and be able to find the most effective ways to provide first aid in their area of expertise. A school in Turkey will explore new ways for bending, which will save time in dealing with certain injuries, as well as new ways and new means that can be used to stop bleeding in the field. The Macedonian school will explore new types of realistic display materials that are easier to model, cost less, easier for procure and are not harmful to health and also what new injuries can make up that have not worked so far. This would give the project a double significance by showing the innovations in the field of realistic injury presentation and all those innovations used to capture real life situations. Our partner from Portugal will be tasked with finding new ways of applying first aid for blast injuries and backlog injuries (injuries to objects that cause body compression). In particular, they will explore how to facilitate the operation of the new immobilization method and shorten the first aid procedure for firefighting. Our Spanish partners will be in charge of AED research.
They will conduct a survey to find the best AED performance trainer, and will also conduct a cardiopulmonary resuscitation study to determine which ratio in the number of massage and inhalation is the best, or what range gives the best effect and for this research they will need the best trainer on which to perform the testing. The coordinator school from Kragujevac would be tasked with implementing into its competencies all of the partners’ results and according to its research, which deals with the most common types of care for injured people in real life situations, to produce videos of injury management in an innovative way (traffic accident and traffic injuries accidents, fire, etc.) that would be realistically made up and played.
The handbook will be used by all first aid teachers to innovate their teaching and to help students master first aid teaching. The organizers of the first aid competition will greatly benefit from the innovative content in the manual to improve the competition itself and to facilitate the work of competitors, referees and commissions. The seminar will be used by practitioners to train practically all the content of the manual, both during the classes and at the markers during the first aid competition.
Higher education institutions that provide first aid teaching for both products of intellectual work will be of great importance in teaching, because professors will be able to transfer knowledge to students in an original way and the students who did not have first aid in high school will have a better opportunity to master the course and practical work.
Healthcare workers will benefit from the manual if they can apply all the innovations to their work. Driving school staff will greatly benefit from both products, and will help them to train candidates more easily and appropriately.
Both products of intellectual work are useful to all stakeholders in order to advance and facilitate their work and help people in self-help, save lives, shorten healing and recovery.
