“…The results of the theoretical evaluation applied before the training showed that the participants of the study knew little about the steps of cardiopulmonary resuscitation or how to act if they found a person in CA. These findings were also identified in other investigations, in which the participants had deficient theoretical knowledge about the steps of CPR (10) and, sometimes, even incorrect knowledge (11) . These data are worrisome considering the possibility of these family members witnessing cardiac arrest, since heart diseases continue to be the main cause of this serious event (12) .…”

“…The family members, despite having some previous theoretical knowledge about the stages and actions of care, did not know how to apply them. Notably, early defibrillation performed by a trained layperson has provided an increase in the survival of hundreds of CA victims outside the hospital environment (3) ; however, the percentage of cardiac arrest victims who were defibrillated before the arrival of the pre-hospital team is still very low, less than 5%, since few people are aware of the closets location of AED or how to use the device (10,15) . These data are worrisome and were confirmed in this research: the participants did not even open the bag of the EAD, a self-explanatory device, when the researcher offered the device during the simulated activity performed before training.…”

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a cardiopulmonary resuscitation training in the skill acquisition of family members of heart disease patients. Method: A quasi-experimental study, conducted in a hospital in São Paulo, Brazil. The study participants were one or more relatives of patients with heart disease that were hospitalized at the institution. In the first phase, the participant’s skills and theoretical knowledge on cardiopulmonary resuscitation were evaluated before and immediately after the training. The second phase took place one month after the training, in which the same evaluations were applied. The McNemar’s and Stuart-Maxwell tests were adopted (5% significance level). Results: The theoretical knowledge of family members before and after training increased and a great retention of this knowledge after 30 days of training was observed. Immediately after training, the family members showed significant improvement of skills in the 15 analyzed actions and, after one month of training, they maintained most of the acquired practices on cardiopulmonary resuscitation, except for chest compressions frequency and the time between turning on the defibrillator and delivering the shock. Conclusion: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation training was effective in the acquisition of theoretical and practical knowledge of the family members.

“…Many studies have confirmed the relationship between training and readiness to undertake CPR and the self-evaluation of skills among bystanders [ 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ]. The percentage of individuals who have ever attended a CPR training course varies greatly depending on the country: 34.8–37.6% in China [ 23 , 33 ], 45.7% in Taiwan [ 22 ], 53% in Crimea [ 24 ], 76% in Sweden [ 34 ], 89% in Germany [ 35 ], and 90% in Norway [ 36 ]. This value was 76% in the presented study.…”

Background: There is a potential relationship between the self-confidence and the willingness of bystanders to undertake resuscitation (CPR) and its training. The current guidelines increasingly focus on both the importance of the human factor and the fact that training programs should increase the willingness of bystanders to undertake resuscitation, which may have a direct impact on improving survival in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Aim: The objective of the study was to analyze factors influencing the assessment of own skills crucial in basic life support (BLS) and the willingness to provide CPR to individual victims. Methods: A pre-test and post-test quasi-experimental design was used in this study. The data was collected from 4 December 2019 to 3 October 2020 in workplaces, during instructor-led BLS courses. Each intervention (training) consisted of a theoretical and a practical part. The program was focused both on the skills and the human factor. Results: Comparison of pre-test and post-test data concerning self-confidence scores of the ability to recognize OHCA among 967 participants demonstrated a significant difference (respectively, Me = 2.2, IQR [2–3] vs. Me = 3.4, IQR [3–4]; p = 0.000). Additionally, self-assessment scores for the ability to perform proper chest compressions between pre-test and post-test also differed significantly (respectively Me = 2.3, IQR [2–3] vs. Me = 3.3, IQR [3–4]; p = 0.000). A highly significant difference was found in the likelihood of changing the decision in favor of the willingness to undertake CPR for all types of victims, with the greatest difference found in relation to the willingness to conduct resuscitation on strangers (OR = 7.67, 95% CI 5.01–11.73; p < 0.01). Conclusions: Completing hands-on training has a highly significant, beneficial effect on the readiness to undertake resuscitation for all types of victims, strangers in particular. Training programs should place particular emphasis on developing readiness to undertake resuscitation for both those who have never been trained and those who had their last training more than one year ago.

“…Os resultados da avaliação teórica aplicada antes do treinamento evidenciaram que os participantes do estudo sabiam pouco sobre os passos da ressuscitação cardiopulmonar ou de como agir caso encontrassem uma pessoa em PCR. Esses achados também foram identificados em outras investigações, nas quais os participantes detinham conhecimento teórico deficiente sobre os passos da RCP (10) e, algumas vezes, incorreto (11) . Esses dados são preocupantes diante da possibilidade desses familiares vivenciarem uma parada cardiorrespiratória, uma vez que as cardiopatias continuam sendo a principal causa deste grave evento (12) .…”

“…Os familiares, apesar de terem algum conhecimento teórico prévio sobre as etapas e ações do atendimento, não sabiam como aplicá-las na prática. Ressalta-se que a desfibrilação precoce realizada pelo leigo treinado tem proporcionado o aumento da sobrevida de centenas de vítimas de PCR fora do ambiente hospitalar (3) ; porém, a porcentagem de vítimas de parada cardiorrespiratória desfibriladas antes da chegada da equipe pré-hospitalar ainda é muito baixa, inferior a 5%, uma vez que poucas pessoas têm conhecimento sobre a localização mais próxima do DEA ou de como usar o aparelho (10,15) . Esses dados são preocupantes e foram confirmados nesta pesquisa: os participantes sequer abriram a maleta do DEA, um aparelho autoexplicativo, quando o pesquisador ofereceu o dispositivo durante a atividade simulada realizada antes do treinamento.…”

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar a efetividade de um treinamento sobre ressuscitação cardiopulmonar na aprendizagem de familiares de pacientes cardiopatas. Método: Estudo quase experimental, realizado em hospital de São Paulo, Brasil. Participaram da pesquisa um ou mais familiares de pacientes cardiopatas internados na instituição. Na primeira fase foram avaliados o conhecimento teórico e as habilidades dos participantes sobre a ressuscitação cardiopulmonar antes e imediatamente após o treinamento. A segunda fase aconteceu um mês após o treinamento, com a aplicação das mesmas avaliações. Os testes McNemar e Stuart-Maxwell foram adotados (nível de significância de 5%). Resultados: Houve aumento do conhecimento teórico dos familiares antes e após o treinamento e elevada retenção desse conhecimento após 30 dias da capacitação. Os familiares apresentaram, após o treinamento, melhora significativa das habilidades nas 15 ações analisadas e, após um mês da capacitação, mantiveram a maioria das práticas assimiladas sobre ressuscitação cardiopulmonar, com exceção da frequência das compressões torácicas e do tempo entre ligar o desfibrilador e aplicar o choque. Conclusão: O treinamento sobre ressuscitação cardiopulmonar foi efetivo na aprendizagem teórica e prática dos familiares.
