Furthermore, some studies have found that individual person who equipped with adequate first aid knowledge had a positive impact on morbidity and mortality worldwide. Therefore, this literature review was aimed to evaluate the knowledge, awareness, and attitude related to first aid among university students. The finding of this literature showed that the level of knowledge, awareness, and attitude related to first aid among university students are varied and inadequate although they knew this course is important.
