First aid self-efficacy: a scale adaptation and psychometric properties
The first aid self-efficacy scale is a novel, reliable, and valid instrument for assessing self-efficacy in first aid contexts. It can be used to measure the impact of first aid training and interventions, thereby promoting more effective layperson responses in emergencies. The scale's robust psychometric properties make it a valuable tool for both research and practical applications in emergency preparedness and first aid training.
