“…Kazalar sonucunda meydana gelen ölümler ve sakat kalmaların en büyük nedenlerinden birisi müdahale eden bireylerin bilinçli ilk yardım uygulamaları konusundaki eksikliğidir. 2,7 Kazalar sonucunda ortaya çıkabilen sağlık sorunlarının en aza indirgenmesi için ilk yardım, sağlık alanında eğitim alsın ya da almasın, toplum genelinde bilinmesi ve gerektiğinde yapılması gereken uygulamalardır. 1 İlk yardım sağlayıcı bir kişi, ilk yardım eğitimi almış ve aşağıdakileri yapması gereken kişiler olarak tanımlanır:…”

8 8Sakarya Tıp Dergisi 2017;7(1):1-9 ARAŞTIRMA MAKALESİ / Research Article ÖzetAmaç Bu çalışmada üniversite öğrencilerinde ilk yardım bilgi düzeylerinin ve bunu etkileyen bazı değişkenlerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Evrenini Sakarya Üniversitesinde öğrenim görüp ilk yardım dersi almayan meslek yüksekokulu öğrencilerininoluşturduğuçalışmada öğrencilerden 1167'sine ulaşılmıştır.Araştırmada, demografik özellikleri belirlemeye ve ilk yardım bilgi düzeyini ölçmeye yönelik 40 sorudan oluşan anket uygulanarak veri elde edilmiştir. Tanımlayıcı istatistikler (ortalama, ortanca) SPSS 20 istatistik programı kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Sürekli değişkenlerin normal dağılıma uygunluğu Shapiro-Wilks testi kullanılarak denetlenmiş, ki kare analizi yapılmıştır.İstatistiksel anlamlılık p 0.05 olarak kabul edilmiştir.Bulgular: Katılımcıların 539'u (%46.1) kadın, 629'u (% 53.9) erkek olup yaş ortalaması 20.23 2.48 bulunmuştur. Katılımcıların 158'i (%13.5) daha önce ilk yardım müdahalesi yapmak zorunda kaldığını ancak 87'si (%7.5) ilk yardım konusunda yeterli bilgiye sahip olduğunu belirtmiştir. İlk yardım konusunda bilgiye erişim yolu olarak 151 (%12.9) kişinin TV, radyo, internet kullandığı; 146 (%12.5) kişi eğitim/kurstan bilgi aldığısaptanmıştır. Araştırmada bilgi sorularının tamamına doğru yanıt vereni olmadı. Kadınlarla erkekler arasında bugüne kadar ilk yardım müdahalesi yapmak zorunda kalmaları yönünden anlamlı fark saptanmış, kadınların %10.4'ü erkeklerin % 16.2'si müdahale yapmak zorunda kalmışlardır(p=0.004). Kadınlarla erkeklerin acil sağlık durumunda aranması gereken numarayı bilme durumları arasında anlamlı fark vardır, erkeklerin yanlış bilme oranı (%3.9) kadınlardan (%2.6)yüksek bulunmuştur (p=0.008).Sonuç: İlk yardım konusunda eğitim almış olmak önemlidir. Bununla birlikte çalışmamızda bu konuda eğitim alanların oranı %12.5 gibi düşük bir oranda saptanmıştır. İlk yardım konusundaki bazı uygulamalar zaman içerisinde değişebildiğinden eğitim almış olan öğrencilerin dahi bilgilerinin güncellenmesi gerekmektedir. AbstractObjective The present study aims to assess first aid knowledge level of university students and identify some of the variables that influence first aid knowledge.Materials and Methods The student's universe is a vocational college student who has studied at Sakarya University and does not receive first aid courses. In the survey, 1167 students were reached. In this cross-sectional study, data collection was performed with a questionnaire comprised of 40 items aimed at assessment of demographical properties and first aid knowledge level. Statistical analyses were carried out with SPSS 20 statistics software, and descriptive statistics (mean, median) were calculated. Normality assessment was made with Shapiro-Wilk test, and the chi-square test was applied. p 0.05 was accepted as statistically significant.Results Of all study participants, 539 (46.1%) were female and 629 (53.9%) were male. Mean age was 20.23 2.48 years, with a median of 20.0. 158 (13.5%) participants stated that they ha...

“…A previous study in Hong Kong showed that efforts to seek advice from relatives often contributed to delayed receipt of EMS call. 4 Longer decision intervals and consequential delays in EMS arrival lead to interactions with later parts of the shockable rhythm downslope and lower SIR rates. In practice, the recall of decision intervals by bystanders is unreliable.…”

Introduction: Most out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in Hong Kong involve older adults. The likelihood of survival varies among locations. This study investigated patient and bystander characteristics, as well as the timing of interventions, that affect the prevalences of shockable rhythm and survival outcomes among cardiac arrests involving older adults in homes, on streets, and in other public places.Methods: This secondary analysis of a territorywide historical cohort used data collected by the Fire Services Department of Hong Kong from 1 August 2012 to 31 July 2013.Results: Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation was primarily performed by relatives in homes but not in non-residential locations. The intervals in terms of receipt of emergency medical services (EMS) call, initiation of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and receipt of defibrillation were longer for cardiac arrests that occurred in homes. The median interval for EMS to reach patients was 3 minutes longer in homes than on streets (P<0.001). Forty-seven percent of patients who developed cardiac arrest on streets had a shockable rhythm

“…Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), a condition of sudden collapse due to cardiac disorder, is a common medical issue and a major contributor to global mortality 1 . The OHCA survival rate of 1.25% in Hong Kong 2 is among the lowest in Asia 3 , 4 . Many factors apart from personal characteristics—including environmental, sociodemographic, and geographical influences—can put a person at risk of sudden cardiac arrest.…”

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a worldwide health problem. The aim of the study is to utilize the territorial-wide OHCA data of Hong Kong in 2012–2015 to examine its spatiotemporal pattern and high-risk neighborhoods. Three techniques for spatiotemporal data mining (SaTScan’s spatial scan statistic, Local Moran’s I, and Getis Ord Gi*) were used to extract high-risk neighborhoods of OHCA occurrence and identify local clusters/hotspots. By capitalizing on the strengths of these methods, the results were then triangulated to reveal “truly” high-risk OHCA clusters. The final clusters for all ages and the elderly 65+ groups exhibited relatively similar patterns. All ages groups were mainly distributed in the urbanized neighborhoods throughout Kowloon. More diverse distribution primarily in less accessible areas was observed among the elderly group. All outcomes were further converted into an index for easy interpretation by the general public. Noticing the spatial mismatches between hospitals and ambulance depots (representing supplies) and high-risk neighborhoods (representing demands), this setback should be addressed along with public education and strategic ambulance deployment plan to shorten response time and improve OHCA survival rate. This study offers policymakers and EMS providers essential spatial evidence to assist with emergency healthcare planning and informed decision-making.
