Background of the Study
Bystander intervention is crucial in emergency situations, as immediate first aid can significantly improve patient outcomes. However, the willingness and ability of bystanders to provide first aid are often limited by a lack of knowledge and confidence. Nurse-led training programs have the potential to empower community members by enhancing their first aid skills and readiness to act during emergencies. In Sokoto State, Nigeria, assessing the effectiveness of such training can inform strategies to improve pre-hospital care.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the critical role of bystanders in emergency care, many individuals in Sokoto State may lack the necessary first aid skills or confidence to intervene effectively. This gap can lead to delayed assistance and poorer health outcomes for victims. Implementing nurse-led first aid training programs could address this issue, but their effectiveness in this context needs to be evaluated.
Objectives of the Study
1. To assess the current level of first aid knowledge and willingness to intervene among community members in Sokoto State.
2. To evaluate the impact of nurse-led training programs on improving bystanders' first aid knowledge and intervention rates.
3. To identify barriers to effective bystander intervention and propose strategies to overcome them.
Research Questions
1. What is the existing level of first aid knowledge and willingness to act among bystanders in Sokoto State?
2. How effective are nurse-led training programs in enhancing bystanders' first aid capabilities?
3. What factors hinder bystanders from providing first aid, and how can these be addressed?
Research Hypotheses
1. Nurse-led training programs significantly improve bystanders' first aid knowledge and readiness to intervene.
2. Barriers such as lack of confidence, fear of causing harm, and insufficient knowledge impede effective bystander intervention.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study will focus on selected communities in Sokoto State, evaluating participants before and after they undergo nurse-led first aid training. Limitations may include variability in participants' prior exposure to first aid education and potential biases in self-reported data.
