Nursing student\u27s knowledge of first aid for hypothermia

Teoretična izhodišča: Podhladitev je eno resnih življenjskih stanj, ki se najpogosteje razvije zaradi izpostavljenosti nizkim temperaturam. Zato je ključno poznavanje nudenja prve pomoči pri podhlajenih osebah, zlasti pri izvajanju temeljnih in dodatnih postopkov oživljanja. Metodologija: V zaključnem delu je bila uporabljena kvantitativna metodologija raziskovanja. Raziskavo smo izvedli z anketnim vprašalnikom na eni izmed zdravstvenih fakultet. Za prikaz rezultatov vseh 103 sodelujočih anketiranih študentov smo uporabili deskriptivno statistiko, podatke pa smo obdelali z aplikacijo 1KA in programom Microsoft Excel. Rezultati: Z raziskavo smo ugotovili, da je teoretično znanje, glede poznavanja podhladitve, njenih vzrokov in posledic, zadovoljivo. Prav tako je zadovoljivo znanje glede nudenja prve pomoči. Diskusija in zaključek: Glede na rezultate ankete smo ugotovili, da imajo študenti zadovoljivo znanje o podhladitvah, pa vendar lahko kritično ocenimo, da bi bilo potrebno znanje nadgraditi. Predvsem teme glede temeljnih in dodatnih postopkov oživljanja podhlajene osebe ter kdaj apliciramo določeno terapijo, pri katerih stopinjah Celzija.Introduction: Hypothermia as one of the serious life-threatening conditions is a potentially dangerous drop in body temperature, usually caused by prolonged exposure to cold temperatures.

We did the survey with questionnaire in one of the nurse school in Slovenia. Results from 103 respondents are presented with the descriptive statistic and data was processed using the application 1KA application and program Microsoft Excel. Results: The study concluded that the theoretical knowledge regarding hypothermia and its causes and consequences is satisfying. The same it is with the first aid. Discussion and conclusion: Regarding the results of the survey, we found out that students have a satisfying knowledge of hypothermia, but we can critically assess that knowledge should be upgraded. That knowledge should be upgraded especially with the topics about giving cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the use of therapy
