Regional Model of Mass Training of the Population in First Aid

Abstract

Despite the process of improving the regulatory framework and methodological foundations of first aid training, the practical implementation of these initiatives faces a number of serious obstacles. The purpose of the study is to analyze the possibilities of developing mass training of the population in first aid techniques at the regional level. The research methods used were content analysis of the regulatory and legislative framework, sociological and analytical methods. In the Ryazan region in 2022-2024, monitoring of first aid skills among specialists of educational, healthcare and social support institutions was organized through the Google electronic survey service Forms, according to the results these specialists noted the lack of confidence in the correctness of the actions taken when performing first aid manipulations. Monitoring showed the initial level of first aid skills among respondents and made it possible to develop ways to introduce and implement a first aid training methodology. Based on the analysis of the monitoring and current regulatory legal acts, the regional program of the Ryazan region “First Aid for Everyone” for 2024-2026 and programs for training the population in first aid techniques were developed, according to which 39,328 residents of the Ryazan region were trained, which is 3.6% of the total population of the Ryazan region. A large proportion of students were residents of the territories most remote from the regional center. The training of first aid teachers and instructors was carried out from among pedagogical and medical workers on the basis of the regional medical university, which ensured a high-quality personnel, material, technical and methodological base for training. The choice of this contingent of students in combination with the presented training base provided an opportunity for the subsequent transmission of the acquired competencies to wide sections of the population.
