Several researchers have suggested that safety skill instruction has been neglected amongst individuals with intellectual disabilities even though injuries occur at an exceedingly higher rate than the general population. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness, generality, and maintenance of the use of behavior skills training to teach 6 CPR and first aid target skills to young adults with intellectual disabilities. Overall, the current study's results suggest that an intervention package using instruction, modeling, rehearsal, and feedback was effective in teaching CPR and first aid skills as well as generalizing across instructors. Additionally, the current study suggests that although behavior skills training was effective at teaching and generalizing mastered target skills, maintenance was not obtainable for all participants across all target skills after a 1-week follow up assessment. Lastly, the intervention package rated high for social validity amongst all participants. Future research should continue to focus on exploring the effectiveness, generality, and maintenance of these results.

Criminal law aspects of the first aid (summary) Ondrej Horak The purpose of this thesis is to clarify and to analyze the criminal law aspects of the first aid in relation to the healthcare professionals. A duty to provide first aid is stricter for the healthcare professionals and unlike laymen they cannot withdraw from this obligation even in life or health threatening situations. At the same time, they face the highest rate of accusations of having committed the crime of breach of the duty to provide the first aid. This work aims to support a discussion on this crime and to contribute to raise the legal awareness within the healthcare professionals. Last, but not least, the goal of this thesis is to point out particular complicated questions related to this topic and to outline possible solutions to improve the legal regulation. The thesis is composed of five chapters. Chapter One provides a summary of the general legal framework of the first aid including both national and international rules. A part of the summary is also concerned with delegated regulation and outlook for the impact of the medical reform. Chapter Two defines three fundamental terms which can be found very often in relation to this topic and which are the key terms to understand this issues. These are the terms: "necessary aid, the...

Orientador: Abílio da Costa-Rosa / Banca: Laura Belluzzo de Campos Silva / Banca: Cristina Amélia Luzio / Resumo: Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo estudar a escuta no atendimento da recepção dos usuários num serviço de Saúde Mental Coletiva e sua repercussão nos projetos terapêuticos da instituição. Partiu-se da hipótese de que a forma como ocorre a escuta nesses primeiros contatos pode privilegiar ações assistenciais na perspectiva da "Atenção Psicossocial", que visa a constituição de um paradigma substitutivo ao modelo psiquiátrico, ou ações que reforçam o paradigma psiquiátrico dominante. O estudo foi desenvolvido num programa de Saúde Mental que funciona no Centro de Saúde de um município do Estado de São Paulo com 30 mil habitantes, cujo atendimento inicial é denominado "Pronto Atendimento". Chegamos à conceituação de duas modalidades de recepção na instituição: o Pronto Atendimento, como uma "recepção burocrática", e a "recepção-escuta", um modo de recepção em consonância com o paradigma da Atenção Psicossocial. Os dados foram colhidos por intermédio da "recepção-escuta" com um grupo de usuários no atendimento inicial da instituição, num período de dois meses, no plantão semanal da pesquisadora. Foram realizadas observações participantes sobre a interação desses modos de escuta inicial com a instituição e seus programas e com os profissionais da equipe. Levaram-se em conta, ainda, dados obtidos através da leitura de prontuários e dados fornecidos pelos próprios usuários através de entrevistas que revelaram a relação, destes usuários, com o tratamento a que foram encaminhados seis meses após a "recepção-escuta" ...(Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo) / Abstract: This research was carried out to study attentiveness in the first-aid given to patients when they arrive at the first-aid reception room of a Public Mental Health Service and its effect on the therapeutic projects of that Service. We started from the hypothesis that the way such a care is given to patients at that first contact may favor assistance in the perspective of the "Psychosocial Care" which aims at the organization of a substitutive paradigm to replace the psychiatric model or actions which reinforce the prevailing psychiatric paradigm. The study at issue was carried out in the context of a Mental Health program of a Health Service in a county with 30 thousand people, and its first-aid care is called "Pronto Atendimento". Two kinds of first-aid care were classified at that Health Service: first-aid care viewed as a "bureaucratic promptness" and the "Attentive first-aid care", a way of attending to patients in accordance with the paradigm of the Psychosocial Care. The data of the research were collected by means of the "attentive first-aid care" given to a group of patients as they first arrived at the Service, along a two-month training practice while the researcher was on duty at that Service. Participant observation was also made broaching the interaction of such kinds of attentive first-aid care with the Service at issue and its programs, and also with the first-aid personnel team. One also took into consideration data collected by means of research into the Service record and the information provided by patients in interviews focusing on their relation to the treatment they had been given six months after the "attentive first-aid care" ...(Complete abstract, click electronic access below) / Mestre

Past research has shown a correlation between first-aid training and the reduction of injuries. This connection has been noted in off-the-job situations in addition to industrial studies. This project is an extension of those past findings with three notable differences: total population training was studied, as the intervention instead of just saturation treatment; attention was given to the effect that the half-life of training had upon injury reduction; and three randomly chosen small groups we're studied to determine short range effects. The theoretical bases from which the study hypothesis was developed originated in the Behavioral Science and Psychology literature. Discussions are developed around the mental structuring of accidental potential situations in the case of a person trained in first-aid principles. Behavior Modification was one of the principles of change that offered a.safer environment through first-aid training. Group contagion provided the setting for development of a safer place to work because of socialization to a "safe attitude." The intervention, American National Red Cross Standard Multimedia First-Aid Course, provided some of the mental developments toward modification of behavior. These were the modeling and rehearsal features of the course. A connection between group deviance and accident "proneness" led to a proposal that avoidance behavior was the resultant of the training.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a skill that all registered nurses should maintain. In South Africa, a new healthcare trend towards accreditation in this skill is emerging. It is assumed that nurses are competent in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but studies indicate a problem of poor retention ofboth knowledge and skills in this area. A non-experimental, quantitative, descriptive and contextual research project was undertaken with the aim of exploring the knowledge of cardiopulmonary resuscitation of registered nurses working in the wards of selected private hospitals in the Western Cape Peninsula. A convenience sample of thirty registered nurses completed a multiple-choice questionnaire. The questions in the questionnaire were derived from a literature review as well as the basic and advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation algorithms. Analysis of the data indicated that the level of knowledge of cardiopulmonary resuscitation was inadequate particularly in the areas of medication and the rationale underlying interventions. Recommendations that were made included proposals that cardiopulmonary resuscitation training programmes be revised; and that employers ensure that registered nursing ,staff are formally trained on an annual basis. / Health Studies / M.A. (Nursing Science)
