Genesis Olarte
Discipline: Education
Abstract:
First aid is the provision of limited care for an illness or injury until definitive medical treatment can
be accessed, or until the illness or injury is dealt with. Accident can occur even within the schools
that require teachers to be knowledgeable in performing first aid. The purpose of this study was to
find out the competency of the teachers on first aid measure. This study utilized a descriptive
quantitative research design to analyze the data. This was conducted to 66 teachers of Patnanungan
and Jomalig District. The responses were gathered through questionnaires and checklist. Findings
revealed that most of the teachers’ age is between 21-30 years old and they have been serving for 5
years or less. It also revealed that the teachers are moderately knowledgeable on first aid measures.
On the competency of the respondents, Patnanungan and Jomalig teachers showed least competency
on providing first aid on common school emergencies. Thus, a training design and module that
focuses on first aid skills was developed. The teachers’ competency on first aid should be improved
to maintain the health and safety of the students within the school.
