dc.descriptionThis community project aims to train residents of the Cuay community, located in the Santa Fe district, Veraguas province, in basic first aid techniques, with the goal of strengthening their capacity to respond to medical emergencies. This rural community faces significant challenges related to limited access to health services, long distances to hospitals, and geographical barriers that delay timely care. The project was developed through an initial assessment based on interviews with the community, direct observations, and a literature review, which revealed a low level of first aid knowledge among the residents. Subsequently, training sessions were designed and implemented on scene securing, basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), initial trauma management, hemorrhage control, burn and wound care, and proper use of the first aid kit. The results showed an increase in the participants' level of understanding and practical skills, reinforcing the importance of promoting a preventative and supportive culture within the community. The training provided residents with essential tools to respond immediately to an emergency while waiting for professional help.
dc.description.abstractEl presente proyecto comunitario tiene como finalidad capacitar a los residentes de la comunidad del Cuay, ubicada en el distrito de Santa Fe, provincia de Veraguas, en técnicas básicas de primeros auxilios, con el propósito de fortalecer su capacidad de respuesta, ante emergencias médicas. Esta comunidad rural enfrenta dificultades, significativas, relacionada con el acceso limitado a los servicios de salud, largas distancias hacia centros hospitalarios y barreras geográficas que retrasan la atención oportuna. El proyecto se desarrolló, mediante un diagnóstico inicial basado en entrevistas a la población, observaciones directas y revisión bibliográficas que evidenció un bajo nivel de conocimiento en primeros auxilios entre los pobladores, posteriormente, se diseñaron e implementaron capacitaciones sobre aseguramiento de la escena, reanimación cardiopulmonar básica (RCP), manejo inicial del trauma, control de hemorragias, quemaduras, heridas y uso adecuado del botiquín de primeros auxilios. Los resultados mostraron un incremento en el nivel de compresión y habilidades prácticas de los participantes, reforzando la importancia de promover una cultura preventiva y solidaria dentro de la comunidad. La capacitación permitió dotar a los pobladores de herramientas fundamentales para actuar de manera inmediata ante una emergencia mientras llega la atención profesional.
