MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY: • Most of the adults [27%] were in the age group of 23-25 years. • Highest percentage [55%] of the adults were female. • Majority of the adults [61%] were married. • Highest percentage [52%] of adults were Hindu. • Most of the [39%] adults studied secondary education. • Most of the [34%] adults were unemployed /house wives. • Highest percentage [62%] of the adults had health information from health posters. • Majority [58%] of the adults were not exposed to accidental emergencies. • Majority [85%] of the adults were not given any first aid management. During pretest most of the adults (47%) had inadequate knowledge and 43 % of the adults had moderately adequate knowledge where as in posttest 63 % of the adults had adequate knowledge and 37 % of the adults had moderately adequate knowledge regarding first aid management of selected accidental emergencies. During pretest 38 % of the adults had unfavourable attitude and 52 % of the adults had moderately favourable attitude where as in posttest majority 84 % of the adults had favourable attitude and 16 % of the adults had moderately favourable attitude regarding first aid management of selected accidental emergencies.
