Purpose
The purpose of this study was to develop a first aid coaching program (FACP) and to investigate its effects on the first aid knowledge, confidence, and performance of childcare teachers.
Methods
A Delphi survey that included 16 experts was used to develop the FACP. A total of 60 participants were included to test the effectiveness of the program. The FACP developed using the survey results focused on improving first aid knowledge, confidence, and performance using a coaching-based method. First aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performance was assessed using 39 items from the program content.
Results
Using a 3-round Delphi survey, 6 areas and 42 detailed topics for group and individual coaching programs were developed. The knowledge scores were significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group (t=4.24, p=.001). The confidence scores were significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group (F=3.89, p<.001). The performance scores were significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group (t=12.40, p<.001).
Conclusion
Continuous application of the FACP among child care teachers is expected to minimize the harm caused by minor accidents at child care facilities. This program should be formally implemented on a consistent basis.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to provide basic data to develop first aid education programs for elementary school students.
METHOD
A self-report questionnaire was used to collect data from 720 5th and 6th grade elementary school students.
RESULTS
1) The mean score for cognition of first aid education of the students was high with a score of 2.64 (+/-.30). 2) The mean scores for the 11 categories were, 'Fire & Burns', 2.78 (+/-.40), 'Poisoning', 2.77 (+/-.47), 'Thermal injuries', 2.75 (+/-.51), 'Rescue & moving', 2.73 (+/-.37), 'Bites', 2.72 (+/-.44), 'General first aid', 2.64 (+/-.37), 'Wounds', 2.59 (+/-.39), 'Removing foreign bodies', 2.58 (+/-.46), 'Cardiopulmonary resuscitation', 2.57 (+/-.59), and 'Musculoskeletal injuries' and 'Others', 2.54 (+/'-.51, +/-.53). 3) There was a significant difference in the cognition of first aid education according to student's gender (t=-3.012, p=.003), and judgement about the emergency situation (F=3.411, p=.034).
CONCLUSION
The results indicate the necessity of developing effective first aid education programs for elementary school students.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to provide basic data to develop first aid education programs for elementary, middle and high school students.
METHOD
Forty nine textbooks adopted by first to six grade elementary schools and first to third grade of both middle and high schools were analyzed for content on first aid.
RESULTS
1) First aid content was covered only in courses onand 2) Content on first aid was included in the categories, 'General of first aid', 'Rescue & moving', 'Fire & Burns', 'Cardiopulmonary resuscitation', 'Musculoskeletal injuries', 'Thermal injuries', 'Wounds', 'Removing foreign bodies', 'Disaster & Accidents' and 'Others'. Categories that were not included were 'Poisoning' and 'Bites'. The content did not follow a progression related to the level of intellectual and physical development of the students.
CONCLUSION
These results suggest that the content on first aid should be revised to be practical and rational for the benefits of student safety.
