Effect of first aid training on teams from special education schools

Analyze the effect of first aid training on the knowledge of multidisciplinary teams from special education schools, in school accidents. A quasi-experimental, before-and-after study with a single comparison group. Descriptive statistics and McNemar's test were used to evaluate the effect of the intervention. This study had the participation of 162 higher education professionals, predominantly teachers (82.1%), female (97.5%), aged over 40 (69.2%). An increase in correct answers was observed, with statistical significance (≤0.05), especially in proper handling in case of fall with traumatic brain injury, electric shock, and burn due to hot liquid (98.1%, 98.1% and 96.9% of proper response, respectively). First aid training for child accidents, through content exhibition, in a dialogical and practical way, proved to be efficient for multidisciplinary teams from special education schools for people with disabilities.
