ANALYSIS OF THE KNOWLEDGE ASSESSMENT OF CONSCRIPTS IN MILITARY MEDICAL TRAINING

Military medical training classes are conducted with all categories of military personnel within the framework of the combat training plan of the military unit. The main task of military medical training is to teach the rules and techniques for carrying out simple measures aimed at eliminating life-threatening consequences. First aid is provided by military personnel as self-and mutual aid in injuries, bleeding, poisoning, frostbite, bites of poisonous snakes and spiders. Based on the statistics of incidence of this military unit for the previous year and taking into account climatic conditions, locations and branch of troops, plans are created to conduct training in giving first aid at the prehospital stage of medical evacuation. The purpose of the study is to assess the dynamics of the assimilation of knowledge and practical skills on first aid issues based on the analysis of testing of the newly arrived replenishment battalion before and after the training session in the theoretical and practical form of military medical training. When analyzing the level of knowledge of 27 conscripted military personnel before and after training sessions, there is a significant tendency to increase the number of correct answers (p=0.00430) after training. When evaluating the dynamics of test data for a category of questions that have high difficulties in learning the material received, more hours are required for training sessions. From this we can conclude that it is necessary to improve programs for military medical training with the subsequent assessment of the knowledge obtained by testing in order to increase the quality and speed of care at the pre-hospital stage.
