Brief Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effect of a drama- and animation-supported first aid education program on first aid awareness, knowledge, and skills in preschool children. The program is designed according to the developmental characteristics of preschool children and uses age-appropriate drama activities, animations, scenarios, visual materials, puppets, and hands-on activities. The study will examine whether participation in this educational program improves children's ability to recognize situations requiring first aid, distinguish safe from unsafe behaviors, seek help from an appropriate adult, and demonstrate age-appropriate first aid responses.
