About

This study aims to investigate occupational health risks faced by female agricultural workers and their need for first aid training. The objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of a basic first aid training program in enhancing knowledge and practical skills, thereby improving workplace safety and individual health outcomes.

Full description

This research focuses on identifying the first aid needs of female agricultural workers and assessing the impact of a structured basic first aid training program on their knowledge and practical skills. The study will be conducted in Kadıköy neighborhood, Silivri district, Istanbul Province, a region with active agricultural activities.

The training program integrates theoretical and practical components, designed in collaboration with 10 experts in the field. Theoretical sessions will be delivered through presentations and educational brochures. Practical training will include hands-on demonstrations and skill assessments, focusing on bleeding control and the Heimlich maneuver. Simulated scenarios will be employed using an arm model with moulage and a CPR manikin, with performance evaluated through standardized assessment forms.

The study is scheduled to take place from November 2024 to May 2025. Data collection will involve pre-training assessments to establish baseline knowledge and skills, immediate post-training evaluations to determine the program's effectiveness, and a six-month follow-up to assess knowledge retention and the real-world application of first aid skills. A total of 43 participants, calculated using G*Power analysis for a repeated-measures design, will ensure adequate statistical power.

By addressing the first aid needs of female agricultural workers, this study aims to enhance workplace safety, empower workers to manage occupational risks effectively, and contribute to better health outcomes within agricultural settings.
