Primeiros socorros no ambiente escolar: mapeamento das produções acadêmicas divulgadas em periódicos nos últimos cinco anos (2018-2023)

Abstract

This work aims to discuss the importance of first aid in the school environment, defending the idea that this topic needs to be part of the continuing education process for professionals working in schools, since it is of utmost importance to be addressed in the school context to prevent health problems and even save lives in case of accidents. In this sense, first aid is understood as care provided to accident victims that can be performed by anyone with prior training, avoiding further complications and risk of death. This is because, in schools, accident cases are numerous, due to the large number of students in the same environment, the performance of various activities, and even the curiosity aroused at this stage of life. Even though it is a topic considered important in the educational field, it is still little discussed. Methodologically, it started from bibliographic research, based on Lima; Mioto (2007). The data collected and analyzed, through articles published in journals, allows us to affirm how essential the theme is in teacher training, as well as its dissemination in the school context, considering its great importance not only for areas of pedagogy, but for various areas due to its contribution to saving lives.
