PROPOSAL FOR PROBLEM STATEMENT

2. PROBLEM STATEMENT
“A STUDY TO ASSESS THE KNOWLEDGE REGARDING FIRST AID AMONG B.SC
NURSING FIRST YEAR STUDENT IN SIMS GROUP OF INSTITUTION,
MANGALDAS NAGAR, GUNTUR.”

3. INTRODUCTION
• “FIRST AID IS BETTER THAN LAST!”
• A person who gives treatment for the one who is suffering from a disease or if an accident , to
improve his condition is called an “AIDES” and the medical treatment given as aid is called
“FIRST AID”.

their citizen from natural disasters and other threats but millions of people die each year.

4. • First aid is what we term immediate medical assistance offered to any ill or injured person
irrespective of the severity of illness to save a person’s life till medical help or ambulance
arrives.
• It can accident happens in the workplace you cannot be a helpless witness, since simply
standing by can potentially worsens the situation. This is why its important to have at least a
basic knowledge of first aid.

5. NEED FOR THE STUDY
• The overriding aim of all medical care which includes first aids , is to save lives and
minimize the threat of death. First aid done correctly should help reduce the patient’s
level of pain and calm them down during the evaluation and treatment process.
• As a professional we have certain responsibilities when accidents or sudden illness occur.
The action to be taken is usually determined by each situation with the individual
circumstances of incident. First aid is the immediately care provided by the people until
the professional services are made available .

6. INCIDENCE
 1,50,000 people death takes place per year due to the lack of first aid.

to blocked airways which claim 2500 lives every year and heart attacks which kills
29000.
