| Abstrakt | | Introduction: By the number of the deceased in traffic accidents, Slovenia belongs to the less safe countries of the European Union. In case of a trafficaccident with injured people, first aid can prevent worsening of the condition, handicap or death of the affected persons. In order to provide immediate first aid, a first aid kit is a necessary and compulsory safety itemin all motor vehicles. The purpose of the research was to determine whether motor vehicles are equipped with the necessary (old or new) first aid kit and whether motor vehicle drivers are familiar with the contents of the first aid kit and maintain it properly. Methods: A descriptive method of research was applied. The data were gathered through March and April 2008 withthe use of a questionnaire. Included in the study were 128 randomly chosenmotor vehicle drivers (63 female and 65 male) from Dolenjska and Bela Krajina regions. Results: All participants but one had the first aid kit in their vehicle. 29.7% of the respondents had the old first aid kit and 68.8% the new one. The majority of the participants did not know which of the listeditems belong to the old kit and which ones to the new one. Their knowledge of the first aid kit individual items was also insufficient. The first aid bandage was best known article among the drivers. The used up material from the kit is rather quickly replaced with the new one by the majority of respondents, whereas only one third check the material expiration date of the first aid kit at least once a year. Discussion and conclusion: A low level of knowledge of the first aid kit contents has been confirmed. It istherefore necessary to focus more attention to motor vehicles drivers' awareness about the first aid kit supplies, the purpose of particular items and their correct usage. It should be pointed out that nurses play an important role in providing and delivering proper information on the issue. (Abstract truncated at 2000 characters)

| Izvleček | | Izhodišča: Po številu mrtvih v prometnih nesrečah sodi Slovenija med manj varne države Evropske unije. Ko se zgodi prometna nesreča, v kateri so udeleženci poškodovani, je zelo pomembna prva pomoč, saj se z njo lahko prepreči poslabšanje stanja, prizadetost ali celo smrt poškodovanega. Za nudenje prve pomoči mora biti v vozilu na voljo komplet za prvo pomoč, ki je del obvezne opreme motornih vozil. Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti, ali so motorna vozila opremljena s predpisanim (starim ali novim) kompletom za prvo pomoč, ali vozniki motornih vozil poznajo vsebino tega kompleta in ali z njo ustrezno ravnajo. Metode: Uporabljena je bila deskriptivna metoda dela. Zbiranje podatkov je potekalo v marcu in aprilu 2008 s pomočjo anketnega vprašalnika. Anketiranih je bilo 128 naključno izbranih voznikov motornih vozil, od tega 63 žensk in 65 moških z območja Dolenjske in Bele Krajine. Rezultati: Komplet za prvo pomoč imajo v svojem vozilu vsi anketiranci z izjemo enega. 29,7% anketiranih ima stari in 68,8% novi komplet. Večina anketiranih ni vedela, kateri izmed naštetih pripomočkov (ne) sodijo k vsebinistarega oziroma novega kompleta. Prav tako je bilo njihovo poznavanje posameznih pripomočkov iz kompleta za prvo pomoč, po katerih je spraševal vprašalnik, slabo. Med pripomočki, ki so sestavni del kompleta prve pomoči za avtomobiliste, anketirani najbolje poznajo prvi povoj. Večina jih porabljeni material iz kompleta kar najhitreje nadomesti z novim, toda le tretjina anketiranih vsaj enkrat letno preveri rok uporabe materiala v kompletu za prvopomoč. Diskusija in zaključki: Ugotovljena je nizka raven poznavanja vsebine kompleta za prvo pomoč, zato je potrebno posvetiti večjo pozornost osveščanju voznikov motornih vozil o vsebini kompleta, namenu posameznih pripomočkov in pravilni uporabi le-teh.
