Study population: 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.
Who may be able to join
- 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.
Who cannot join
- Lack of consent to participate in the study.
- Individuals under 18 years of age.

About this study
Official title: Assessment of Parental Knowledge and Confidence in Providing First Aid for Choking and Infant Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
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.
Read the detailed description
The study aims to evaluate the level of knowledge and self-confidence among parents regarding first aid procedures for choking and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in infants under one year of age. The research will investigate the factors that influence parental knowledge, including previous first aid training, educational background, and prior experience in emergency situations.
The study will employ a mixed-methods approach, including both quantitative and qualitative data collection. Participants will complete structured surveys before and after training sessions to assess changes in knowledge and confidence levels. The primary training will be conducted through workshops at the Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Krakow University and the Stefan Żeromski Specialist Hospital in Kraków. Additionally, online training will be offered via the Zoom platform to reach a broader audience.
The results will be statistically analyzed to identify key factors that improve parental first aid readiness. Findings are expected to contribute to the development of more effective educational strategies for parents, ultimately enhancing infant safety and emergency response skills.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| First Aid Knowledge Training Group (Pre-Post Evaluation) | This group consists of parents of infants under one year of age participating in first aid training focused on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and choking prevention. The aim is to assess parental knowledge and confidence in first aid techniques before and after the training. The training includes both theoretical and practical components, focusing on emergency response skills, proper CPR technique for infants, and choking management. The educational sessions are conducted in two formats: in-person workshops at selected hospitals and online via Zoom. Data collection will occur at two time points: before the training (baseline assessment) to evaluate initial knowledge and confidence levels, and after the training (follow-up assessment) to measure improvements. The training aims to increase parents' competence in handling emergency situations involving infants. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
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.
Measured: Before training (baseline) and immediately after training (follow-up).
