| dc.description.abstract | Introduction: Choking is defined as the hindrance of respiration by a foreign body obstruction in the internal airway, including the pharynx, hypopharynx, and trachea. It is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the pediatric population with preschool children at the greatest risk. Young children are at increased risk because of their tendency to put objects in their mouth, immature dentition, inability to adequately chew their food, poor coordination of swallowing, and smaller airway. Lack of kindergarten teacher’s knowledge and skills toward choking first aid may led to serious health consequences. Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess knowledge, attitude and practice towards first aid management of choking among kindergarten teachers in Addis Ababa governmental schools, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.2019. Methods and material: Institutional based cross-sectional study design was applied to the study area, pretested structured self-administered questionnaires was used for data collection. Result: None of the study participant answered all questions correctly; only 83(37.05%) scored mean and above for knowledge questions on choking first aid. Among all participant 97 (43.3%) had faced the choked child in the school compound and only 42 (43.2%) of them had provided choking first aid to the victim. Majority of the respondent agree that choking need immediate management and most of the study participant had positive attitude towards choking first aid. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed Kindergarten teachers with the previous first aid training were 2.902 times more knowledgeable than those kindergarten teachers without previous first aid training (AOR: 2.902, 95% CI: 1.612, 5.227). Conclusion and recommendation: The level of choking first-aid knowledge and skills among kindergarten teachers in Bole, Gulele and kirkos subcities in Addis Ababa was low. There is an urgent need to train teachers regarding choking first aid management. | en_US |
