| dc.description.abstract | Objectives: In Indonesia, the prevalence of injuries
among children aged 5e
14 years is high. Such injuries are
generally caused by unsafe school-related factors and a
lack of education about first aid. Thus, it is necessary to
optimize the role of children by introducing first aid education
using the First Aid Guideline (FAG) application.
The purpose of this study was to develop a first aid ed-
ucation application for Indonesian children based on the
Android operating system.
Methods: The application was developed in several
stages. The initial stage was the selection of the content
that would be included in the application. The second
and third stages were the making and testing of the
application, respectively. The researchers worked with
information technology experts during the development
of this application. The application feasibility test
included experts in the fields of emergency and medicalsurgical
medicine as well as information technology.
The experts assessed the application by completing a
questionnaire on learning media. The results were then
analysed by kappa tests to assess the experts’ perceptions.
Results: The application contains emergency call menus,
and information on the treatment of choking, burns,
wounds, and bleeding. The application provides pictures
and video tutorials, making it easier for users to learn
about first aid. Statistical analysis showed a sufficient
match between Experts 1 and 3 (mean 3.85 " SD 0.369;
kappa ¼ 0.615; p ¼ 0.035) and Experts 1 and 2 (mean
3.85 " SD 0.369; kappa ¼ 0.615; p ¼ 0.035). Experts 2
and 3 showed good suitability (mean 3.80 " SD 0.422;
kappa ¼ 0.615; p ¼ 0.035).
Conclusions: FAG is a breakthrough application for first
aid education for children aged 11e14 years. This
application can be used as a medium for learning about
first aid. However, further research in larger populations
is required. | en_US |
