Design: Cross-sectional survey. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among 449 permanent residents in Sichuan Province using convenience sampling. We examined participants’ demographic characteristics, self-efficacy, health literacy, and personality. Findings: Of the participants, 111 (24.7%) stocked a home first-aid kit. The most frequent supplies were disinfection supplies (91.9%), common medicines (86.5%), and dressing supplies (76.6%). Family per capita monthly income, medical expenses payment method, chronic diseases, general self-efficacy, and health literacy were influencing factors of family first-aid kit preparedness. Conclusion A multilevel and interactive emergency literacy education system should be established to improve residents’ abilities to prevent emergencies. First aid kit health literacy community residents influencing factor Introduction Globally, 45 million people are disabled and 5.8 million die each year due to sudden trauma [ 1 ], the fourth leading cause of death. The World Health Organization has predicted that the death rate due to trauma will increase by 40% by 2030 [ 2 ]. The home first-aid kit is a comprehensive first-aid kit for accidents, such as knife wounds or earthquakes. They guarantee the safety of residents and play an important role when family members are injured [ 3 ]. In recent years, living standards have improved, and health awareness has been promoted. Home first-aid kits have been receiving increasing attention. In particular, owing to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, people’s attention and demand for medical and protective products have increased rapidly. American public health agencies work to help people respond to disasters and emergencies. In 2003, the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency launched a national emergency preparedness campaign to encourage the public to prepare emergency supplies [ 4 ]. In Australia, approximately one-fifth of households have mobile phones, first-aid kits, batteries, and other first-aid items [ 5 ]. Facing frequent extreme weather events and natural disasters, in 2018, China established its Ministry of Emergency Management, and issued the Emergency Management Standards. These standards encouraged households to stock first-aid kits and masks and aimed to improve the public’s awareness of disaster prevention and mitigation, as well as their ability to rescue themselves and others [ 6 ]. According to cognitive theory, self-efficacy is the strongest factor affecting public emergency preparedness behavior and a successful sustainer of health promoting behavior. A study [ 7 ] has found that individuals’ emergency preparedness behaviors are related to emergency knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy. Findings from a study investigating the relationship between personality traits and hoarding behaviors in patients with novel coronavirus pneumonia, has found that, in emergency situations, agreeableness, neuroticism, and openness tend to lead to emergency supplies hoarding [ 8 ]. Health literacy refers to the ability of individuals to obtain and understand basic health information and make correct decisions to promote their health. There is a positive correlation between health literacy and health behaviors, including preventive measures and emergency service utilization [ 9 ]. The purpose of this study is to investigate the status quo of family first-aid kit preparation and use in Sichuan, China, and to analyze its influencing factors. Materials and Methods Participants Families with reading comprehension and expression skills who had lived in a city in Sichuan Province, China, for more than six months within the previous 12 months were included in this study. Participants with mental disorders and those who provided incomplete information were excluded. After receiving a detailed explanation of the study, each participant provided verbal informed consent. Questionnaire The questionnaire comprised three parts. The first was the sociodemographic characteristics of the research participants, including gender, age, education level, per capita monthly income of the family, whether family members suffer from chronic diseases, and how medical expenses are paid. The second part investigated the current situation of home first-aid kit preparation in the participants’ homes, including two items: whether their family has a home first-aid kit and the types of items in the home first-aid kit. The third component was the standard scale, which included the New General Self-Efficacy Scale (NGSES), Short-Form Health Literacy Instrument (HLS-SF12), and the 10-item short version of the Big Five Inventory (BFI-10). The New General Self-Efficacy Scale The NGSES was used to evaluate residents’ self-efficacy [ 10 ]. There are 10 items in the scale. A 4-point Likert scale was used, with overall scores ranging from 10 to 40. Higher scores indicate a higher sense of self-efficacy. The Cronbach’s α coefficient of this scale was 0.87, and the retest reliability in this study was 0.87. The Short-Form Health Literacy Instrument The HLS-SF12 was used to assess residents’ health literacy [ 11 ]. The scale includes 12 items regarding three aspects: medical care, disease prevention, and health promotion. Each item is rated on a 4-point scale (1 = very hard, 2 = hard, 3 = easy, and 4 = very easy). The higher the score, the higher the health literacy level. The Cronbach’s α coefficient of the scale was 0.87, and the retest reliability in this study was 0.86. The 10-item short version of the Big Five Inventory The 10-item short version of the BFI-10 was used to evaluate residents’ personality characteristics [ 12 ]. The scale includes ten items and five dimensions: neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. The scale uses a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree); the higher the score, the more significant the personality traits. The internal consistency coefficients of the five dimensions of the scale ranged from 0.443 to 0.708, and the retest reliability ranged from 0.819 to 0.901. Data Collection The study was conducted from March 1 to May 1, 2023, using convenient sampling methods. The researchers were three active nursing graduate students. Through the assistance of community workers, the researchers entered the community and distributed questionnaires to the residents individually. Data were collected using an online questionnaire platform called Wenjuanxing, the most popular survey software in China ( https://www.wjx.cn/ ). Data Analysis Data were analyzed using SPSS (version 25.0; IBM, Chicago, IL, USA) with a significance threshold of p < 0.05. Measurement data conforming to normal distribution are described as mean ± standard deviation. Measurement data with non-normal distribution are described as the median and quartile. The count data are described and analyzed based on frequency and component ratios. Demographics, self-efficacy, health literacy, and personality characteristics were independent variables in this study. The availability of a home first-aid kit was the dependent variable. The chi-square test and rank-sum test were used for single-factor analysis. Multivariate binary stepwise logistic regression was used for the multivariate analysis. Ethical considerations The study was conducted in accordance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. The first page of the questionnaire introduced the purpose and content of the study. The respondents were asked if they agreed to participate in the study. The participants had to click the “Agree” button to enter the questionnaire filling interface. Only those who agreed to participate completed the questionnaire. The study procedure was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Mianyang Central Hospital (S20221204-02). Results Basic information of respondents and preparation of home first-aid kit A total of 458 questionnaires were collected, of which 449 were valid, with an effective recovery of 98.0%. A total of 111 households (24.7%) were equipped with first-aid kits. The chi-square test showed that there were statistically significant differences in first aid kit equipment among people with different education levels, per capita monthly family income, medical expenses payment methods, and whether they suffered from chronic diseases ( p < 0.05, Table 1 ).

The least stocked items were “special drugs (such as quick-acting heart-saving pills and emergency angina medication),” accounting for 37 households (33.3%). The 40 respondents who chose “other items” filled in other items stored in their home first-aid kit, including masks, plasters, and eye drops (Table 2 ).

Household per capita monthly income, medical expenses payment method, chronic disease, self-efficacy, and health literacy are factors that influence family first-aid kit preparedness. A survey of emergency preparedness knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of community residents in Heilongjiang Province [ 6 ] has shown that less than 5% (133/2686) of the respondents prepared basic emergency supplies. A study on the emergency preparedness behaviors of Japanese residents has shown that only 11% of households stocked a home first-aid kit [ 13 ]. In China and many other regions abroad, people must consider the preparation of first-aid kits and other household emergency supplies. In 2020, the Ministry of Emergency Management of China issued a list of recommended household emergency supplies. The emergency medicine list includes commonly used medicines (over-the-counter drugs such as anti-infection, anti-cold, and anti-diarrhea drugs), medical materials (wound dressings such as bandages, band-aids, and gauze), betadine, and cotton swabs (for wound treatment and disinfection). Among the participants who had prepared a home first-aid kit, the most stocked item was disinfection supplies (91.9%). Among the surveyed households, 86.5% had stocks of commonly administered drugs. This was mainly possibly related to the policy of epidemic containment and control in the early stages and an increase in residents’ health awareness. Residents reserve drugs, mainly anti-inflammatory, anti-diarrheal, and other daily treatment drugs. However, s drugs such as rescue pills, traditional Chinese medicine, angina pectoris, and other emergency medicines are limited. This may be related to factors, such as whether a family member has a chronic disease. In addition, masks have become an important tool for preventing the spread of respiratory viruses, and many home first-aid kits (36%) are equipped with masks. Government departments should strengthen publicity and training, improve community residents’ preparedness for emergencies, and increase the public’s awareness of first aid. The per capita monthly household income, the medical expenses payment method, and the presence or absence of chronic diseases are factors that were found to influence the availability of first-aid kits in households. Respondents with higher per capita household income were more likely to have a home first-aid kit. Similarly, a previous study has found that monthly household income was a factor affecting the behavior of residents in preparing emergency supplies [ 14 ]. The higher the monthly household income, the more conscious residents were regarding protecting their lives and property. Respondents who had health insurance were more likely to have a home first-aid kit than those who paid for their own medical expenses. It has been found that differences in medical expenses payment methods reflect differences in the medical care level received [ 15 ]. Respondents without health insurance were likely to be financially disadvantaged and have relatively low incomes, therefore being less likely to have a home first-aid kit. Respondents with chronic diseases are more active and self-manage their health [ 16 ]. Those with proactive access to health-related information and who make appropriate health decisions are more likely to stock a home first-aid kit; therefore, the Chinese government should implement measures to develop effective medical insurance policies, increase compensation, and gradually expand the scope and proportion of medical insurance reimbursement. The treatment of chronic diseases in outpatient clinics should be improved to reduce the cost burden on residents’ families. Furthermore, basic medical insurance, serious disease insurance, and medical assistance services should be provided to low-income rural residents. Self-efficacy is an individual’s confidence in their ability to complete a specific task. It is closely related to an individual’s diet, physical exercise, smoking habits, and other health behaviors and is an important factor in promoting health [ 17 ]. Studies have shown that when self-efficacy is high, responses to emergencies show more positive attitudes [ 18 ]; therefore, higher self-efficacy is a protective factor for the public against emergencies. In our study, self-efficacy was one of the factors associated with the preparation of a home first-aid kits. People with higher self-efficacy were more likely to have a home first-aid kit than those with lower self-efficacy. Residents with high self-efficacy can remain calm when facing problems, form positive beliefs and attitudes, and stimulate their behavior. Improving self-efficacy is helpful in improving the level of health literacy and promoting the adoption of healthy behaviors and lifestyles. Health literacy refers to an individual’s ability to obtain, understand, evaluate, and use information to make decisions and take actions that affect health conditions [ 9 ]. Health literacy is an important mediating variable that affects health outcomes, health behaviors, and access to and the utilization of medical services [ 19 ]. In this study, we found that respondents who scored higher on the health promotion dimension were more likely to have a home first aid kit than those who scored lower. This may be because the higher the degree of health promotion of the respondents, the more likely they are influenced by social or environmental factors to take positive health actions. People are increasingly using the Internet to obtain health information. This includes diverse sources, such as health professionals, the media, and social organizations. While providing quality medical information, the Internet and social media also increase the possibility of obtaining inaccurate, misleading, or commercially motivated medical information [ 20 ]. Researchers [ 21 ] have reviewed online health information and found that online health information quality is a major problem. They recommended improving the quality and accessibility of online information systems to help people effectively navigate to reliable health information sources. This study has several limitations. First, we used convenience sampling, which may have introduced a selection bias. Second, our sample size was small and cannot represent the level of Sichuan Province or the whole country. Finally, we used a self-report questionnaire, which did not objectively reflect the authenticity of the participants’ relevant behaviors. Conclusion Less than a quarter of families in Sichuan Province have first-aid kits stocked at home. Household per capita monthly income, medical expenses payment method, chronic diseases, general self-efficacy, and health literacy are factors that influence the availability of first-aid kits in households. Future educational and publicity activities should establish multilevel emergency literacy training systems, and multi-channel and all-round public emergency education programs should be conducted. Various strategies have been adopted to raise the risk awareness of the population, including emergency training and exercises, volunteer activities, disaster relief and mitigation activities, and mass media (Internet, television, radio, etc.) communication. It is imperative to improve the public’s self-efficacy and health literacy; draw attention to the importance of emergency supplies, such as home first-aid kits; and increase residents’ abilities to prevent medical emergencies.

The home first-aid kit is a comprehensive first-aid kit for accidents, such as knife wounds or earthquakes. They guarantee the safety of residents and play an important role when family members are injured [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR3\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e]. In recent years, living standards have improved, and health awareness has been promoted. Home first-aid kits have been receiving increasing attention.

In 2003, the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency launched a national emergency preparedness campaign to encourage the public to prepare emergency supplies [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR4\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e]. In Australia, approximately one-fifth of households have mobile phones, first-aid kits, batteries, and other first-aid items [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR5\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e5\u003c/span\u003e]. Facing frequent extreme weather events and natural disasters, in 2018, China established its Ministry of Emergency Management, and issued the Emergency Management Standards. These standards encouraged households to stock first-aid kits and masks and aimed to improve the public\u0026rsquo;s awareness of disaster prevention and mitigation, as well as their ability to rescue themselves and others [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR6\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e6\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAccording to cognitive theory, self-efficacy is the strongest factor affecting public emergency preparedness behavior and a successful sustainer of health promoting behavior. A study [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR7\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e7\u003c/span\u003e] has found that individuals\u0026rsquo; emergency preparedness behaviors are related to emergency knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy. Findings from a study investigating the relationship between personality traits and hoarding behaviors in patients with novel coronavirus pneumonia, has found that, in emergency situations, agreeableness, neuroticism, and openness tend to lead to emergency supplies hoarding [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR8\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e8\u003c/span\u003e].

Household per capita monthly income, medical expenses payment method, chronic disease, self-efficacy, and health literacy are factors that influence family first-aid kit preparedness. A survey of emergency preparedness knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of community residents in Heilongjiang Province [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR6\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e6\u003c/span\u003e] has shown that less than 5% (133/2686) of the respondents prepared basic emergency supplies. A study on the emergency preparedness behaviors of Japanese residents has shown that only 11% of households stocked a home first-aid kit [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR13\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e13\u003c/span\u003e]. In China and many other regions abroad, people must consider the preparation of first-aid kits and other household emergency supplies.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn 2020, the Ministry of Emergency Management of China issued a list of recommended household emergency supplies. The emergency medicine list includes commonly used medicines (over-the-counter drugs such as anti-infection, anti-cold, and anti-diarrhea drugs), medical materials (wound dressings such as bandages, band-aids, and gauze), betadine, and cotton swabs (for wound treatment and disinfection). Among the participants who had prepared a home first-aid kit, the most stocked item was disinfection supplies (91.9%). Among the surveyed households, 86.5% had stocks of commonly administered drugs. This was mainly possibly related to the policy of epidemic containment and control in the early stages and an increase in residents\u0026rsquo; health awareness. Residents reserve drugs, mainly anti-inflammatory, anti-diarrheal, and other daily treatment drugs. However, s drugs such as rescue pills, traditional Chinese medicine, angina pectoris, and other emergency medicines are limited. This may be related to factors, such as whether a family member has a chronic disease. In addition, masks have become an important tool for preventing the spread of respiratory viruses, and many home first-aid kits (36%) are equipped with masks. Government departments should strengthen publicity and training, improve community residents\u0026rsquo; preparedness for emergencies, and increase the public\u0026rsquo;s awareness of first aid.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe per capita monthly household income, the medical expenses payment method, and the presence or absence of chronic diseases are factors that were found to influence the availability of first-aid kits in households. Respondents with higher per capita household income were more likely to have a home first-aid kit. Similarly, a previous study has found that monthly household income was a factor affecting the behavior of residents in preparing emergency supplies [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR14\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e14\u003c/span\u003e]. The higher the monthly household income, the more conscious residents were regarding protecting their lives and property. Respondents who had health insurance were more likely to have a home first-aid kit than those who paid for their own medical expenses. It has been found that differences in medical expenses payment methods reflect differences in the medical care level received [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR15\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e15\u003c/span\u003e]. Respondents without health insurance were likely to be financially disadvantaged and have relatively low incomes, therefore being less likely to have a home first-aid kit. Respondents with chronic diseases are more active and self-manage their health [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR16\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e16\u003c/span\u003e]. Those with proactive access to health-related information and who make appropriate health decisions are more likely to stock a home first-aid kit; therefore, the Chinese government should implement measures to develop effective medical insurance policies, increase compensation, and gradually expand the scope and proportion of medical insurance reimbursement. The treatment of chronic diseases in outpatient clinics should be improved to reduce the cost burden on residents\u0026rsquo; families. Furthermore, basic medical insurance, serious disease insurance, and medical assistance services should be provided to low-income rural residents.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSelf-efficacy is an individual\u0026rsquo;s confidence in their ability to complete a specific task. It is closely related to an individual\u0026rsquo;s diet, physical exercise, smoking habits, and other health behaviors and is an important factor in promoting health [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR17\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e17\u003c/span\u003e]. Studies have shown that when self-efficacy is high, responses to emergencies show more positive attitudes [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR18\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e18\u003c/span\u003e]; therefore, higher self-efficacy is a protective factor for the public against emergencies. In our study, self-efficacy was one of the factors associated with the preparation of a home first-aid kits. People with higher self-efficacy were more likely to have a home first-aid kit than those with lower self-efficacy. Residents with high self-efficacy can remain calm when facing problems, form positive beliefs and attitudes, and stimulate their behavior. Improving self-efficacy is helpful in improving the level of health literacy and promoting the adoption of healthy behaviors and lifestyles.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHealth literacy refers to an individual\u0026rsquo;s ability to obtain, understand, evaluate, and use information to make decisions and take actions that affect health conditions [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR9\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e9\u003c/span\u003e]. Health literacy is an important mediating variable that affects health outcomes, health behaviors, and access to and the utilization of medical services [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR19\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e19\u003c/span\u003e]. In this study, we found that respondents who scored higher on the health promotion dimension were more likely to have a home first aid kit than those who scored lower. This may be because the higher the degree of health promotion of the respondents, the more likely they are influenced by social or environmental factors to take positive health actions. People are increasingly using the Internet to obtain health information. This includes diverse sources, such as health professionals, the media, and social organizations. While providing quality medical information, the Internet and social media also increase the possibility of obtaining inaccurate, misleading, or commercially motivated medical information [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR20\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e20\u003c/span\u003e]. Researchers [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR21\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e21\u003c/span\u003e] have reviewed online health information and found that online health information quality is a major problem. They recommended improving the quality and accessibility of online information systems to help people effectively navigate to reliable health information sources.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis study has several limitations. First, we used convenience sampling, which may have introduced a selection bias. Second, our sample size was small and cannot represent the level of Sichuan Province or the whole country. Finally, we used a self-report questionnaire, which did not objectively reflect the authenticity of the participants\u0026rsquo; relevant behaviors.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Conclusion","content":"\u003cp\u003eLess than a quarter of families in Sichuan Province have first-aid kits stocked at home. Household per capita monthly income, medical expenses payment method, chronic diseases, general self-efficacy, and health literacy are factors that influence the availability of first-aid kits in households. Future educational and publicity activities should establish multilevel emergency literacy training systems, and multi-channel and all-round public emergency education programs should be conducted. Various strategies have been adopted to raise the risk awareness of the population, including emergency training and exercises, volunteer activities, disaster relief and mitigation activities, and mass media (Internet, television, radio, etc.) communication. It is imperative to improve the public\u0026rsquo;s self-efficacy and health literacy; draw attention to the importance of emergency supplies, such as home first-aid kits; and increase residents\u0026rsquo; abilities to prevent medical emergencies.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Declarations","content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConflicts of interest\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe authors declare no conflict of interest.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisclosure Statement\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFunding\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis research did not have any funding.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eData availability statement\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eData are available upon request from the authors.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAuthor Contribution\u003c/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDAN WEN, HAIYAN HE, and LI WAN designed the study.
