Within the scope of the health support program organized by the Human Rights and Freedoms Club of our university, the Association of Widespread Education and Culture (YEKDER) and our nursing department students provided first aid training for secondary school students in cooperation with our students. On December 10, 2022, 50 secondary school students attended the “First Aid Training” given by our 4th year nursing students at Üsküdar YEKDER Center.
At the beginning of the event, general topics were addressed, including why first aid is so crucial, its significant role in our daily lives, and why every individual should learn first aid to safeguard public health. These fundamental pieces of information helped participants understand how vital first aid is not only in emergencies but also in our day-to-day activities.
Continuing with the training, a detailed presentation highlighted how proper application of first aid can save a person’s life. Additionally, the risks associated with incorrect first aid practices were emphasized. This section aimed to raise awareness among participants about the critical importance of knowing the correct first aid techniques.
The event further progressed with the active participation of students in enacting emergency scenarios. Students learned by practicing how to respond to various emergency situations and react appropriately. This interactive approach aimed to demonstrate the significance of acting correctly in emergency situations.
