Treinamento de primeiros socorros nas escolas: relato de experiência

Abstract

This study describes the experience of nursing students from the Federal University of Uberlandia (UFU) delivering first aid training at public and private educational institutions from 2023 to 2024. The activities were conducted in three contexts: an academic event, a supervised internship, and an outreach project, employing three methodological approaches: "theory followed by practice," "theoretical-practical with sequential topics," and "theoretical-practical in teaching stations."The report details the evolution of teaching strategies, the importance and process of adaptations made to include students with disabilities, the perceptions and learning outcomes of nursing students, as well as the challenges and facilitators encountered. The "theoretical-practical in teaching stations" approach generated greater engagement, accessibility, and learning effectiveness, highlighting the relevance of health and first aid education for the school environment and for the development of nurse educators.
