Objective: Identify what knowledge primary education teachers have about first aid. Methods: A bibliographic, descriptive, integrative review study conducted between May and July, 2020 with articles from the last five years of PubMed, SciELO and LILACS databases, accessed by the Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) using the descriptors in Health Sciences: “first aid” and “teachers” in Portuguese and English. Results: 40 articles were included in this study. In general, teachers' knowledge was low and insufficient. However, more than 70% of them would like to learn about the subject. Health professionals as sources of knowledge were barely mentioned. The studies addressed first aid to different situations such as general events, epilepsy/convulsions, dental trauma/avulsion, among others. Conclusions: The low level of knowledge about first aid among basic education teachers was predominant, showing the need for investments in teacher’s training on the subject and in the health-education partnership to promote safe school environments.
