| dc.description | The objective of this research was to evaluate the current state of first aid care during medical emergencies at the Rómulo Arrocha School, located in Santiago de Veraguas. The study adopted a non-experimental, descriptive design with a mixed approach, with cross-sectional application. The population was made up of teachers, administrative staff and fourth, fifth and sixth grade students, selecting a sample of 137 participants through non-probabilistic sampling. Two instruments were used for data collection: a structured questionnaire aimed at the educational community and a semi-structured interview applied to the management staff. The results showed that, although 94.9% of those surveyed recognize the concept of first aid, only 24.8% know how to act in the event of fainting and 21.6% in the event of an injury, which reflects insufficient preparation. Likewise, 73.7% indicated that the school has a first aid kit, but doubts persist about its content and location. Positively, 97.1% consider it very useful to carry out training and drills, and 85.4% believe that they should involve the entire educational community. These findings confirm the need to implement continuous training programs, update resources, and strengthen institutional organization to ensure safe and resilient school environments. | |
| dc.description.abstract | La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo evaluar el estado actual de la atención de primeros auxilios durante emergencias médicas en la Escuela Rómulo Arrocha, ubicada en Santiago de Veraguas. El estudio adoptó un diseño no experimental, de tipo descriptivo y enfoque mixto, con aplicación transversal. La población estuvo conformada por docentes, personal administrativo y estudiantes de cuarto, quinto y sexto grado, seleccionándose una muestra de 137 participantes mediante muestreo no probabilístico. Para la recolección de datos se emplearon dos instrumentos: un cuestionario estructurado dirigido a la comunidad educativa y una entrevista semiestructurada aplicada al personal directivo. Los resultados evidenciaron que, aunque el 94,9% de los encuestados reconoce el concepto de primeros auxilios, solo el 24,8% sabe cómo actuar ante un desmayo y el 21,6% ante una herida, lo que refleja una preparación insuficiente, asimismo, el 73,7% indicó que la escuela cuenta con botiquín, pero persisten dudas sobre su contenido y ubicación, de manera positiva, el 97,1% considera muy útil realizar capacitaciones, simulacros y el 85,4% opina que deben involucrar a toda la comunidad educativa. Estos hallazgos confirman la necesidad de implementar programas formativos continuos, actualizar recursos y fortalecer la organización institucional para garantizar entornos escolares seguros y resilientes. | |
