“…However, these studies did not investigate the extent of self-confidence deterioration between single training sessions. Another very recently published study reports sustained self-confidence at 6 months in pupils aged 14–18 years old after a 90 min BLS training, with better preservation among older pupils 21. This fact, as well as the different assessment interval, might explain the discrepancy with the findings in our study of decreased self-confidence after 9 months in pupils aged 10–17 years.…”

“…There is conflicting evidence with respect to gender-specific differences in the learning outcome ‘knowledge’ after BLS education in schools 11 13 15 18 19 21 31. Whereas two studies describe a gender-specific effect of BLS trainings on willingness to perform BLS,13 32 there is another study that did not show such an effect 21. As a result, some selection bias cannot be ruled out, and the generalisability of the data might be limited to a certain degree.…”

IntroductionTo increase the rate of bystander resuscitation, basic life support (BLS) training for schoolchildren is now recommended on a broad level. However, debate continues about the optimal teaching methods. In this study, we investigated the effects of a 90 min BLS training on female pupils’ BLS knowledge and self-confidence and whether learning outcomes were influenced by the instructors’ professional backgrounds or test-enhanced learning.MethodsWe conducted a cluster randomised, longitudinal trial in a girls’ grammar school in Germany from 2013 to 2014. Pupils aged 10–17 years were randomised to receive BLS training conducted by either emergency physicians or medical students. Using a multiple-choice questionnaire and a Likert-type scale, BLS knowledge and self-confidence were investigated before training (t0), 1 week (t1) and 9 months after training (t2). To investigate whether test-enhanced learning influenced learning outcomes, the questionnaire was administered 6 months after the training in half of the classrooms. The data were analysed using linear mixed-effects models.ResultsThe study included 460 schoolchildren. BLS knowledge (mean number of correct answers) increased from 5.86 at t0 to 9.24 at t1 (p<0.001) and self-confidence (mean score on the Likert-type scale) increased from 8.70 at t0 to 11.29 at t1 (p<0.001). After 9 months, knowledge retention was good (8.94 at t2; p=0.080 vs t1), but self-confidence significantly declined from t1 to 9.73 at t2 (p<0.001). Pupils trained by medical students showed a slight but statistically significant greater increase in the knowledge at both t1 and t2, whereas instructors’ background did not influence gain or retention of self-confidence. Retesting resulted in a marginally, non-significantly better retention of knowledge.ConclusionsBLS training led to short-term gains in knowledge and self-confidence. Although knowledge was retained at 9 months after the training session, self-confidence significantly decreased. Interim testing did not appear to impact retention of knowledge or self-confidence. Medical students should be considered as instructors for these courses given their favourable learning outcomes and greater availability.

“…In Germany, research showed that the ability to implement practical CPR interventions among 10-year-olds was the same as among 13-year-olds [15]. However, schoolchildren aged 13 or more have greater theoretical knowledge [15,24,26]. Considering the assessed effectiveness of CPR training in schoolchildren, some advocate the introduction of CPR training between the ages of 10 and 11.…”

Background: The benefits of cardiopulmonary resuscitation training for schoolchildren are well known, but the appropriate age for introducing training is still being discussed. This is a very important issue, since out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is a major public health concern. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of implemented cardiopulmonary resuscitation training on the knowledge and prosocial behavior of children in the last three grades of Slovenian elementary schools, and to identify the experience of training instructors. Methods: A mixed methods research design was employed, using a cohort study with testing before and after training, and focus groups. Research was conducted in 15 Slovenian public elementary schools offering cardiopulmonary resuscitation training. Focus groups included training instructors and developers. Data was collected with a structured questionnaire from April to June 2018 and analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses. The three focus groups were convened in September and October 2018. Content analysis of the discussion transcriptions was conducted. The sample included 764 schoolchildren aged 12.5–14.5 years before cardiopulmonary resuscitation training and 566 schoolchildren after training. Three non-homogeneous focus groups included eight cardiopulmonary resuscitation instructors. Results: Significant progress in knowledge was noted after training implementation, with the greatest progress seen in the youngest age group (mean age 12.5). The greatest increase after the training was seen in confidence (p=0.001), increase in helping behavior was moderate (p=0.003), while the level of internal motivation prior to and after the training remained the same. Analysis of the focus groups yielded two themes: (a) the effects of cardiopulmonary resuscitation training on schoolchildren, and (b) the systemic responsibility of the school system and professional bodies. Conclusions: Significant progress in schoolchildren’s cardiopulmonary resuscitation knowledge after training was established. Early introduction of training is recommended. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation knowledge influences the development of schoolchildren’s prosocial behavior, as it raises awareness of the responsibility to help others and increases self-confidence to provide bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation. We can conclude that early cardiopulmonary resuscitation training for children is crucial. It should be a mandatory part of school curricula in those countries where cardiopulmonary resuscitation is not yet mandatory.

“…2 The 70% events of the cardiac arrest happened out of the hospital (Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest/OHCA) whom the first responder was the common people such as the family members, friends, neighbors, and other people close to them. 4 The life possibility of the people who experienced the cardiac arrest could increase significantly, two to three times, using the cardiopulmonary resuscitation by the people who first found them. This would reduce the brain damage and improve the return of the circulation.…”

Background: The cardiovascular disease was the main cause of death throughout the world. The first aid that should be taken by the first responder or witness was an important part in the chain of survival out of the hospital that could improve the prognosis and avoid the rest of the symptoms. Hence, it is important for common people to know and possess the skill, especially the cardiopulmonary resuscitation, to handle the emergency situation. Schools became the appropriate place to organize the first-aid training because the students were more conditioned in emotional, social and cultural terms.Methods: This study utilized the quasi-experiment method. The total number of subjects was 124 students who studied in Kalibawang 1st State Senior High School, and in Samigaluh 1st State Senior High School, both of them school is located in Kulon Progo district, Indonesia. The subjects were divided into three groups using three different methods, namely lecturing-discussion, poster demonstration, and audio-visual media.Results: The pre-test and post-test results showed that there was a knowledge improvement after the training using the lecturing (p=0.000), poster (p=0.000) and audio-visual methods (p=0.000). The cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills in the lecturing (p=0.000), poster (p=0.000) and audio-visual methods (p=0.000) groups showed the improvement after the first-aid training in school.Conclusions: This study proved that the first-aid training in the school gave effect on the improvement of the knowledge and skill in handling the emergency situation, particularly the cardiac arrest through cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
