ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the best way to train caregivers of elderly individuals in providing first aid for serious bleeding, which can happen due to accidents or falls. The researchers want to compare two types of training: high-fidelity simulation that closely mimics real-life situations and low-fidelity simulation that uses simpler methods. The goal is to see which method helps caregivers learn and remember how to effectively stop bleeding in emergencies.

To participate, caregivers must meet certain criteria. They should not have received any prior first aid training, should be able to communicate and engage in the study, and must not be health professionals or paid caregivers. The trial will involve 30 volunteers who will receive training and assessments to measure how well they can manage bleeding emergencies. This study aims to improve the skills of caregivers, which can be crucial in saving lives. If you or someone you know is interested in helping out or learning more, please keep an eye out for updates on how to get involved!
