Chocking First Aid Management Program for Health Care Support Workers.

To determine the effect of chocking first aid awareness program on knowledge, attitude and practice of health care support workers. Despite the importance of first aid skills, there may be gaps in the knowledge of healthcare support workers regarding choking management. A well-designed program can address these gaps, ensuring that workers are aware of the latest guidelines and techniques for managing choking incidents.

Knowledge and attitudes alone are not sufficient; practical skills are crucial. The program aims to translate theoretical knowledge and positive attitudes into effective practice. Training can enhance the workers' ability to perform first aid procedures correctly and confidently.
