Abstract

Serious disability and death may occur if the applications are performed unconsciously. In order to apply a conscious first aid, the first aid should include; knowledge, skills, calm and self-confidence. The most basic element in gaining these features is education. Trainings should encourage the individual, gain skills and be designed to be real. The “Training on Basic Life Support Application Awareness Training with Theater” project focuses on the insufficiency of the applications that must be done by the people at the scene in the first minutes after the incident before ambulance and hospital interventions. With the trainings within the scope of the project, it is aimed to create awareness of life saving chain. The project consists of different stages. In every stage, the applications that should and should not be done are emphasized. 677 people have been reached in 27 awareness trainings that are carried out within the scope of the project, mostly between January and September 2019, in the Aegean Region.
