Preschool teachers\u27 knowledge of first aid procedures for preschool children

Tema diplomskega dela je seznanjenost vzgojitelja z ukrepi prve pomoči pri predšolskem otroku. V teoretičnem delu sem predstavila pomen varnosti v vrtcu. Opisala sam nujna bolezenska stanja – vročinski krči, anafilaktična reakcija, epileptični napad in hipoglikemija – ter se dotaknila poškodb. Pri vsakem izmed nujnih stanj je opredeljena prva pomoč. Dotaknila sem se temeljnih postopkov oživljanja in uporabe avtomatičnega defibrilatorja. Poudarila sem usposobljenost vzgojitelja za nudenje prve pomoči in ukrepe na ravni vrtca. V empiričnem delu sem rezultate pridobila s pomočjo anketnih vprašalnikov, ki sem jih razdelila strokovnim delavcem v vrtcu. Zanimalo me je, ali so vzgojitelji seznanjeni z ukrepi prve pomoči, ali jim je omogočeno izobraževanje na tem področju, ali se znanje prve pomoči med vzgojitelji glede na pogostost izobraževanja, delovno mesto, delovno dobo razlikuje. Ugotovila sem, da pogostost izobraževanja vpliva na znanje prve pomoči, prav tako delovno mesto in delovna doba zaposlenega.The theme of diploma thesis is the preschool teachers\u27 knowledge of first aid procedures for preschool children. In theoretical part of the thesis, I have presented the importance of safety in kindergarten. I described some urgent medical conditions, such as febrile convulsions, anaphylactic reactions, epileptic fits, hypoglycaemia and some types of injuries. First aid procedures are defined for each of these emergency conditions. I briefly described the basic procedure of resuscitation and the usage of automatic defibrillator. I exposed the importance of preschool teacher\u27s competency of first aid procedures in kindergarten. In the empirical part of the thesis, I presented the results of the questionnaires that I had given to preschool teachers. I was interested whether the preschool teachers were familiar with the first aid’s measures and whether they were given education in this field. Furthermore, I wondered whether the knowledge of first aid procedures differs according to frequency of education, workplace and years of service. I have found out that the frequency of education affects first aid knowledge, as well as the workplace and working life of an employee
