PREMEDICAL FIRST AID AS A MAIN COMPONENT IN FORMATION OF PHYSICAL THERAPY AND ERGOTHERAPY SPECIALISTS’ COMPETENCE

Abstract

The aim of the work – analysis of higher education standard in discipline 227 of Physical Therapy, Ergotherapy, specialty 22 of Public Health and curriculum on Physical Therapy and Ergotherapy in the aspect of competence formation on providing premedical first aid.

The main body. Main stages of competence formation for providing premedical first aid in emergency situations via simulation Training in Ergotherapists students are determined. Advantages of simulation training method in medicine are listed. It is shown that equality of teacher and students helps to find out mistakes during practical skills training. It was found out that better mastering of skills is in case when results of primary and secondary examinations of victims differs according to the data of situational tasks. It is proven that feedback between a teacher and students is one of key points that will ensure better assimilation of practical skills and action algorithms by students.

Conclusions. It was found out that simulation training improves formation of ergotherapists students’ competence. Additionally, this helps to arise students’ interest to subject learning. Simulation training allows students to learn algorithms of premedical first aid providing in conditions that are close to real. Obtaining of skills in critical bleeding stop, victim transfer to stable lateral position and cardiopulmonary resuscitation by ergotherapists students’ allow to provide necessary premedical assistance in cases of emergencies.
