This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of first aid among kindergarten teachers and explore the associated factors influencing their proficiency in providing first aid. First aid is a crucial skill that empowers individuals to respond effectively in emergency situations, especially in educational settings where young children are at risk of accidents and injuries. A cross-sectional survey was conducted, involving kindergarten teachers from diverse educational institutions. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data on their knowledge of common first aid procedures, attitudes towards administering first aid, and actual practices in real-life situations. Additionally, potential factors such as age, educational background, training received, and teaching experience were analyzed to identify associations with first aid knowledge and practices. The findings from this study will contribute to a better understanding of the current level of first aid knowledge and practices among kindergarten teachers and inform targeted interventions to enhance their preparedness in handling emergency situations effectively.
