This study aims to assess the knowledge of parents regarding first aid for choking and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in infants under one year of age. The primary objective is to evaluate how well parents understand emergency procedures and identify factors influencing their knowledge and confidence. The study will involve a combination of surveys and practical training sessions conducted both in-person and online.
Parents or legal guardians of infants under 1 year of age.
Adults aged 18 years and older.
Individuals willing to participate in first aid training on choking prevention.
Persons who provide informed consent for participation.
Lack of consent to participate in the study.
Individuals under 18 years of age.
Professionals in medical rescue or those with advanced first aid knowledge.
Parents of children older than 1 year.
The study population consists of parents and legal guardians of infants under one year of age. Participants include both mothers and fathers who are willing to participate in a first aid training program focused on choking prevention and management in infants. The training is designed to improve parental knowledge and skills in providing immediate first aid during choking incidents. Recruitment will be conducted through both in-person invitations at hospitals and online through social media platforms targeting parents and caregivers. Eligible participants must be at least 18 years old. Individuals with professional experience in medical rescue or advanced first aid knowledge will be excluded to maintain uniformity in the baseline knowledge of the study group. The study aims to enhance the ability of parents to respond effectively in emergency situations involving choking in infants.

Improvement in parental knowledge of first aid for choking in infants
The primary outcome measure of this study is the improvement in parental knowledge of first aid techniques for choking in infants. This will be assessed by comparing pre- and post-training scores obtained through a standardized questionnaire designed to evaluate the understanding of choking recognition, the correct application of first aid procedures (including back blows and chest thrusts), and the ability to assess the infant's condition. The questionnaire will multiple-choice questions, covering key aspects of infant choking management. The baseline assessment will take place before the training session, and the follow-up assessment will be conducted one week after the training. The primary objective is to quantify the increase in knowledge and practical understanding among parents after participating in a structured first aid training program. Data analysis will focus on changes in score distribution between the pre- and post-training assessments.
