First Aid to drowning People in the Place of Event
DUDOVÁ, Apolena
The theoretic part of the baccalaureate thesis is focused on providing first aid to drowning persons, on providing proper cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and on the possibility of using rescue and protective aids. This part explains principal causes of drowning, warns about places where drowning occurs most often, and indicates ways of prevention and safety. The purpose of the research part of the thesis was to determine whether the lay public has any theoretic knowledge of providing first aid to drowning persons. A quantitative method was used in the research part for data collection. The data was obtained using questionnaires, which were distributed to the lay public in the Uherské Hradiště region. The questionnaire was anonymous and included 14 questions. There was only one correct answer to every question. The questions were used to determine theoretic knowledge of first aid provision to drowning persons and theoretic knowledge of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The hypothesis presumed that the lay public had theoretic knowledge in providing first aid to drowning persons. However, the opposite followed from the defined criterion used to prove or disprove the hypothesis and from the quantitative investigation results, i.e. that the lay public did not have theoretic knowledge in providing first aid to drowning persons. Thus the hypothesis was disproved based on the research. The lay public showed insufficient knowledge particularly of cardiopulmonary resuscitation procedures. The research concluded that the lay public should be more interested in the procedures and novelties in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, as well as in the basics of first aid. Also, acquaintance with first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be more and better available to the lay public. A solution could be offered by compulsory first aid courses for all professions, provided by employers on a yearly basis at least.
