Background: Patients in all settings fully expect that they will be resuscitated if they have a cardiac arrest. It is therefore necessary to increase the number of qualified people, including school teachers and students who can play a vital role in performing basic and advanced cardiac life support at the scene of a medical emergency. Since life threatening events, such as cardiac arrest, must be responded to within six minutes, the retention of skills becomes a key concern in all urgent cases. The purpose of this study was to assess the existing knowledge of BLS among primary and secondary school teachers in Hebron, Palestine.Methods: After approval from Institute Ethical Committee and informed consent from the participant, the present study was conducted among primary and secondary school teachers. A self-administered questionnaire based on knowledge and attitude of BLS was used to collect data.Results: In general, only 42.5%of school teachers knew about CPR, but 57.5% had no previous information about CPR. Sources of information about CPR included television (26.5%), nurses and Drs (25.8), and the Internet (18.7%). Approximately 53% agreed that CPR training courses should be mandatory. Only 18.1% of teachers didn’t know the contact numbers for emergency services.Conclusions: This study has highlighted a critical issue that a majority of school teachers have limited knowledge about CPR. We recommend the mandatory implementation of CPR and basic life-support training for all school teachers across Palestine, and the need for incorporation of the BLS teaching into the Palestinian schools’ curricula without delay.

“…Approximately 70% to 75% of cases of CA are witnessed by nonmedical people (2). In the case of CA, BLS performed by a trainedcivil first aider can decrease mortality to a large extent (3). In recent years, trainings and seminars have been organized for individuals who are health providers to increase awareness of BLS.…”

“…Teachers in school environment are likely to witness a cardiac case more frequently. Thus, BLS training for teachers can decrease morbidity and mortality rates due to early intervention (1,3,4,6,7). The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of repeated training on teachers' knowledge and skill level (correct hand and head position giving, provide adequate depth of compression and frequency)…”

Aim:The purpose of this study is to research the effect of repeated theoretical and practical up to date basic life support (BLS) training that provides teachers the opportunity to improve knowledge and skill levels. Materials and Methods:This research was a pre-test, post-test, quasi-experimental study. The scope of the study included 65 teachers who participated in theoretical and practical up to date BLS training thirty days apart. A survey form including 19 questions was administered to determine pre-test and post-test theoretical knowledge about BLS. Skill level in BLS was assessed via BLS simulator model in terms of the followings; correct hand positioning, correct head positioning, sufficient depth and frequency of chest compressions.Results: A significant difference was found between pre-test level of knowledge before BLS training and post-test after the second training session (p<0.05). The levels of competence for correct hand positioning (38.2% vs 61.8%; p=0.001), correct head positioning (27.6% vs 72.4%; p=0.006) and adequate compression frequency (35.0% vs 65.0%; p=0.005) increased and excessive compression rate (40.0% vs 60.0%; p=0.005) rose when pre-test and post-test levels were compared. Conclusion:Promoting teachers' up to date BLS knowledge and skills with continuous training is beneficial. Repeated BLS training showed that the ability of the participants to develop adequate compression frequency with correct hand and head positioning was increased.

“…1 Cardiac arrest (CA) is an immediate medical emergency situation that happens outside hospital settings in 70% of the cases and carries a high level of mortality risk. 2 Despite the advancement in preventative and resuscitation medicine, sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) still remains a significant health problem. The SCA can be caused by either cardiac or non-cardiac etiologies, can be witnessed or unwitnessed and can also occur inside or outside a hospital.…”

Background: Early recognition and immediate bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation are critical determinants of survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Presence of qualified teachers who can detect any health problem and can give first aid for emergencies in schools is a very important issue. Objective: It was to assess knowledge and practice of preparatory schools' teachers before and after application of Basic Life Support training program in Sheben Elkom city, Menoufia governorate. Methods: A sample of 300 teachers participated in the study; they were selected by simple random sampling technique. They had completed a pretest through using a questionnaire to assess their knowledge while their practice was assessed through a checklist followed by application of BLS training program for them. Their knowledge and practice were re-evaluated 3 months later by same tools. Results: A sample of 300 teachers had participated in the study; male sex was predominant (79.7%) and middle socioeconomic status constituted (84.3%). Post-test mean knowledge and practice scores (10.11 ± 1.8) & (7.46± 1.4) respectively were higher than pretest mean knowledge and practice scores (2.04 ±2.4) & (3.44 ± 0.85) respectively. There was a highly statistically significant difference in their knowledge and practice scores pre and post BLS training program (p value < 0.001) for each. Conclusion: Current Basic Life Support training program was successful in enhancing knowledge and practice of preparatory school teachers.
