“…Even so, these ages are considerably later than the earliest age children can be taught first‐aid skills11, 25 and at odds with the age the teachers in the current study considered appropriate for beginning first‐aid training. It would probably be desirable to repeat first‐aid training at several levels to facilitate better skill retention, building up skills step‐by‐step with age‐adjusted learning 9, 11, 25…”

“…Pupils can attain first‐aid skills at an early age, and teachers can provide first‐aid training on level with that provided by medical personnel 10, 11, 12, 13. Programmes to teach schoolchildren have been associated with increased bystander CPR rates, and first aid is recommended for inclusion in school curricula 9, 11, 14, 15, 16…”

BackgroundTo increase knowledge and competence about first aid in the population, first‐aid instruction is included in primary and secondary school curricula. This study aimed to establish how much time is spent on first‐aid training, which first‐aid measures are taught, and which factors prevent teachers from providing the quantity and quality of first‐aid training that they wish to give.MethodsA questionnaire was distributed to teachers in physical education in primary and secondary schools and to teachers in vocational subjects in higher secondary schools.ResultsThe teachers taught a median of two lessons in first aid per year. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was taught by 64% of teachers, free airway and recovery position by 69% and stopping severe bleeding by 51%. Recognising heart attack and stroke was taught by 25% and 23%, respectively. The main factors that the teachers perceived as limiting the amount and quality of first‐aid training were insufficient learning objective specifications in the curriculum, too many other competence aims, lack of CPR mannequins and lack of training as first‐aid instructors.DiscussionNorwegian teachers provide an appreciable amount of first‐aid training to their students. However, several potential life‐saving measures are poorly covered. The curriculum needs to contain first aid but also should specify what first‐aid measures to be taught. First‐aid training of teachers should adequately prepare them to be first‐aid instructors.

“…caring for others and being afraid of oneself). 118,119 Since 2011, the Swedish compulsory school curriculum specifies that CPR skills are core content in grades 7-9. 114 Each school decides how and in what form the education is offered: theoretical or practical, on one occasion or repeatedly.…”

“…It was important that the design of the interventions facilitated implementation, the education was brief enough to fit into one lesson, that the lesson could be given to the whole class at the same time and that training could be provided by teachers at the school (less costly, facilitates scheduling). 80,89,118,155 Instructor-led CPR training (the teacher demonstrates the practical exercises) was not evaluated, partly because previous studies have shown that DVD-based education is as effective as instructor-led education, 91,92,95,156 and partly to ensure standardization of education and thereby reduce the risk that the instructor's characteristics affected the students' learning processes.…”

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Wiederbelebungsunterricht ist nicht in allen Schulen Deutschlands verpflichtend, dieser beschränkt sich trotz niedriger Laienreanimationsrate aktuell auf einzelne, z. T verpflichtende Projekte in unterschiedlichen Bundesländern. Aus diesem Grunde hat das Ministerium für Schule und Bildung Nordrhein-Westfalen per Runderlass im März 2017 das Projekt „Laienreanimation an Schulen in NRW“ initiiert. Fragestellung Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die Evaluation dieses Projekts. Material und Methoden Alle weiterführenden Schulen in Nordrhein-Westfalen wurden zur Teilnahme am Projekt eingeladen. Aus jedem Regierungsbezirk nahmen ärztliche Partner teil, welche Wiederbelebungstrainings mit bereits bestehenden Konzepten zum Lehrer- oder Schülertraining durchführten. Nach einer 3‑jährigen Laufzeit erfolgte die Evaluation anhand von standardisierten Fragebögen für Schuldezernenten, Lehrer und Schüler. Ergebnisse Insgesamt konnten durch das Projekt mehr als 40.000 Schüler aus 249 Schulen in NRW mit 6 unterschiedlichen Konzepten in Wiederbelebung trainiert werden. Fragen bezüglich Wiederbelebungsmaßnahmen konnten durch 85 % der Schüler richtig beantwortet werden. Die Schüler fühlen sich insgesamt sicher in Wiederbelebungsmaßnahmen. Der Investitionsbedarf für alle Schulen liegt bei einmalig zwischen 4 und 6,5 Mio. € sowie rund 340.000 € in jedem Haushaltsjahr. Diskussion Eine gesetzliche Verpflichtung und Finanzierung von Wiederbelebungstrainings sind unerlässlich für eine flächendeckende Durchführung. Alle durchgeführten Konzepte sind effektiv, dementsprechend kann jede Schule ein auf ihre Bedürfnisse abgestimmtes Konzept auswählen und dieses bestenfalls gestuft anwenden. Die Schulung von Lehrern sollte gezielt auf Wiederbelebung ausgerichtet sein.
