Nauczanie pierwszej pomocy w Europie

Abstract

The ability to give first aid is one of the most useful abilities in everyday life, particularly nowadays, when an individual has to face more and more challenges and threats. Society’s ageing, stress and civilization diseases (cardiovascular diseases, tumours, unhealthy lifestyle, obesity) are starting to take their toll. Taking into account also the high mortality among the victims of road accidents, the answer to the question why first aid is so important becomes clear. The aim of the research is to reveal the level of first aid training in Europe and to present first aid education systems in selected states focusing on maintaining cohesion and continuity of courses and conducting classes in an interesting way.
