Systemic problems of first aid training in the Russian Federation and ways to solve them based on the experience of the Pacific Olympiad

Abstract

The aim is to identify systemic deficiencies in first aid training in the Russian Federation and substantiate their elimination. Materials — data from the Pacific Olympiads (2023-2025). Methods — pedagogical observation, timekeeping, expert survey, comparative analysis of normative checklists. The results are a gap between theory (>80% of correct answers) and practice (<15% of successful cases); a shortage of judges in the PP profile. The proposals include a unified protocol, training from 5-7 years old, and a register of independent judges. Conclusions — the implementation of measures will increase the readiness of the population from 4% to the targets of the Concept-2036.
