“…These concerns led to a brief interruption in study enrollment. However, prior investigations have suggested that parents are indeed able to learn CPR at discharge, despite high levels of anxiety (Dracup, Moser, Doering, & Guzy, 1997a;Dracup et al 1997bDracup et al , 1998Moser et al, 1999;Schlessel et al, 1995), and that proper CPR education is a high priority for families. CPR training promotes a sense of control in the majority of parents, which should mitigate any concerns about CPR discharge teaching to parents with high stress or anxiety levels (Dracup, Moser, Guzy, Taylor, & Marsden, 1994;Higgins, Hardy, & Higashino, 1989;Schlessel et al, 1995;Louis, Carter, & Eisenberg, 1982).…”
