20.500.12556/RUL-144116 Tailoring first aid courses to older adults participants Relevant organizations emphasize the importance of first aid (FA) for older adults due to the increased risk of injuries and sudden illnesses in old age. Even though FA training guidelines have been developed, no program for an FA course adapted for the older adults has been formally adopted in Europe. This study’s objective is to identify older adults’ needs, beliefs, desires, advantages, and possible limitations in connection with FA. This qualitative study used semistructured interviews with 22 laypersons and retired health professionals older than 60 years old. The qualitative content analysis indicated that the major themes elicited by the older adults are motivation to participate in the FA training, older adults’ specific features as a resource or obstacle for participating in FA training, general suggestions, and content suggestions for FA training. Older adults are very differently motivated to participate in FA training due to the heterogeneity of their psychophysical abilities. They need and want to obtain additional knowledge from the field of FA and health protection for which any psychophysical limitations are not as relevant as when learning cardiopulmonary resuscitation. They want to learn how to recognize emergency situations and more about calling emergency services with the use of modern technology. In addition to cardiopulmonary resuscitation without rescue breaths, they also want to learn about topics related to the treatment of injuries. Those who had practiced FA in their work–life think that they can be a good source to transfer their knowledge to persons from their generation. While planning an FA training course, it has to be taken into consideration that older adults want a short course, adjusted to their varied psychophysical abilities. Due to the wide array of contents they want to learn, it would be reasonable to prepare a selection of different programs for short training courses. aging older adults community health promotion health education staranje starejši odrasli poučevanje o zdravju true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2023-02-01 13:27:39 2023-02-01 13:27:39 2023-02-21 08:34:59 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 Str. 697–707 iss. 4 Vol. 49 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 614 1552-6127 10.1177/10901981211026531 72918531 10901981211026531.pdf 10901981211026531.pdf 1 B4934E0A8C8FAA767A6239CB77612E71 6c0ccea8d1f72b85f9d576852514dd8d3571459c6ad884177a0d8e56aa755ac4 fc041788-a22b-11ed-9c94-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=166263 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/10901981211026531 0 c9804551-a22b-11ed-9c94-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=166262 Zdravstvena fakulteta Medicinska fakulteta 0 0 0
