Objectives To evaluate “Stop the Bleed” (STB) training among/K12 personnel in an Alabama school system, and to assess participants’ perceived readiness to train peers in STB methods. Design and Sample We performed a cross‐sectional observational study with a convenience, nonprobability sample of 466 full‐time personnel who received STB training. Data were collected using an anonymous online survey. Measurements We asked participants to recall feelings related to STB both prior to and after completing training using a 5‐point Likert scale (5 = “Strongly Disagree”, 1 = “Strongly Agree”). We used logistic regression to evaluate the association among posttraining feelings and perceived preparedness to train others in STB. Results Participants were primarily female (78%), aged 41 ± 10 years, who held faculty positions (94%). Results revealed increased knowledge of (4 [IQR 2–4] vs. 2 [1–2], p < .001) and comfort with (4 [2–5] vs. 2 [1–2], p < .001) STB skills. Participants felt more empowered to organize STB training (4 [3–5] vs. 3 [2–4], p < .001); those who felt empowered to organize STB training were eight times more likely to feel capable of teaching STB. Conclusions After STB training, K‐12 personnel felt empowered to organize additional STB trainings and capable of teaching STB methods to others.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
