Background of the Study: First aid involving simple but life-preserving techniques which can be performed with minimum facilities and without having any medical experience. Snowballing in the number of educated individuals, comprising the school pupils who can play a vital role in the First Aid field is an expectation of public health. The objectives of this study were to assess existing knowledge of students regarding first aid skills, to evaluate the effectiveness of organized skill training program on first aid skills. A quantitative research approach and one group pre-test and post-test research design were adopted to accomplish the main objective of the present study. 60 students were selected from the secondary school of Vadodara city by using a simple random sampling technique. Data was collected through a structured knowledge questionnaire on first aid skills. A skill training program on first aid skills was presented after the pretest. Post-test data were collected from the secondary school students after seven days of implementation of the skill training program on first aid skills. The prior consent was obtained from the students as well as their parents. The collected data were tabulated and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The results of the study discovered that among 60 respondents, the majority of the respondents (53.3%) had average inadequate & 46.7% had moderate knowledge score and in post-test among 60 respondents, majority of the respondents 75%) had adequate knowledge, 25% had moderate knowledge score. The ‘t’ value 57.808 was observed at 0.05 level & the P-value =0.00 which is <0.05 that shows that there is an increase in the post-test level of knowledge. This shows that the skill training program on selected aspects of first aid skills is effective. Among all socio-demographic variables, the obtained x2 value for the age demographic variable is 3.1 only age was significantly associated with posttest knowledge score, which is greater than the table of x2 at 0.05 level of significance. The remaining demographic variables gender, type of family & source available for information on first aid was less than the table of x2 at 0.05 level of significance, so they are not associated with posttest knowledge score. Conclusion: The study finding revealed that an organized skill training program on selected aspects of first aid skills was effective among the students. The result of the present study shows that there is a great need for secondary and above standard school students to update their knowledge regarding first aid skill management of minor injuries & important aspects of first aid.

Introduction: In Malaysia, the rate of adolescents involved in sexual activities has increased and starts at an earlier age. Data from NHMS 2017 showed that 7.3% among surveyed 13 to 17 years-old adolescents have already had sex. The rate of teenage pregnancies is also increasing at 3.7-3.9% between the years 2009 until 2011. Therefore, an effective SRH Programme should be conducted in schools to equip them with adequate knowledge regarding this subject.Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted among 145 randomly selected secondary school students aged 13 to 15 years old, attending the SRH Programme in a secondary school in Cheras, Selangor, Malaysia. The objective of this programme is to deliver knowledge and promote awareness among adolescents regarding SRH. The programme consists of intervention using adolescent-friendly module and games. A pre- and post-test were given to the participants to evaluate the effectiveness of the programme using the validated SRH questionnaire (Malay version). The questionnaire consists of fourteen and six items for knowledge and attitude, respectively.Results: The result showed an increase in the mean knowledge score (±SD) after the SRH Programme at the school from 7.25 ± 2.44 for pre-test to 9.70 ± 3.17 for post-test. The mean difference in pre- and post-test was 2.45 (95% CI: 2.02, 2.87) and was statistically significant (p<0.001). In terms of attitudes, the majority of the students felt that they have enough knowledge to make a gooddecision regarding sexual reproductive health issues after the SRH programme. However, there was only a small increment with regards to their attitudes on assertiveness.Conclusion: This study demonstrated an increase in the level of knowledge among adolescents in Cheras after the SRH programme using the adolescent-friendly module and games. However, there is no significant change in attitude among adolescents regarding SRH.Future SRH programmes need to be done regularly to instil positive attitudes among adolescents in dealing withsexual reproductive dilemmas.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Supplementary Issue: 2021 Page: S20

The aim of this study is to find out the relevance of the competences worked on in the area of social science, specifically in the subjects of geography and history, through the perceptions of pupils in the 4th year of compulsory secondary education (ESO). In order to carry out the survey, a purposive sampling was carried out in which more than 1400 4th year ESO students (in Spain) participated. In addition, using a Likert-type scale of our own creation called Evaluation of the Perception of Social Science Competences (EPECOCISO) and following a design of quantitative methodology, an exploratory factor analysis was carried out with the analysis software SPSS through the descriptive process, which allowed us to select the three factors that make up the study. Subsequently, correlations were established between factors through Pearson’s test, and between the different variables that make up each one of them with the socio-demographic variables (distinguishing between ordinal and nominal variables) through the chi-square test of independence and Cramer’s V test (nominal), as well as the linearity test, Goodman’s gamma test, and the Kruskal (ordinal) test. Finally, one of the most important conclusions of this study is that the difficulties encountered by students in the acquisition of competences is conditioned by the development of the assessment processes that are carried out.
