Knowledge, attitude, practices, and associated factor of first aid services related to motorcycle accidents among motorcycle drivers in Dilla town, Southern Ethiopia

Abstract

Background: First aid is care provided initially to a sick or injured person using the resources available until professional medical assistance is available. As a result, the victim's suffering can be reduced until help arrives or until they can be transported to a health facility. It includes carefully chosen words of encouragement and expressions of a willingness to help. Motorcycles are used in developing countries to carry out practical tasks related to mobility, transportation, sport, and economic activity. My understanding is that there is little information about first aid knowledge, attitudes, and practices among motorcycle drivers in my study.
