- Abstract
Purpose: To assess and to classify the knowledge of students and physical education professionals about first aid, specifically about cardiopulmonary resuscitation and syncope. Methods: The sample (n=30) was divided into student (n=15) and professional (n=15). The assessments were 1 theoretical and 2 practical tests (1 cardiopulmonary resuscitation, 1 syncope) with first aid simulations. Results: Theoretical knowledge between students and physical education professionals is similar (5.67 ± 1.72; 6.53 ± 1.41; p = 0.142). However, on practical tests, CPR (2,68 ± 1,82; 4,08 ± 1,46; p = 0,028), syncope (4,07 ± 1,96; 6,47 ± 0,70; p < 0,000) and total score (12,42 ± 3,08; 17,08 ± 2,38; p < 0,000) the professionals had a better performance than the students. Conclusion: Theoretical knowledge of students and Physical Education professionals is similar; however, the professionals' practical knowledge is statistically different from students.
