The Influence of Mass Basic Life Support Training on The Skills and Attitude in Undertaking Life Support Using the Method of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Airlangga

Abstract

The quality of basic life support training given by medical students to the public, using methods from the Faculty of Medicine, Airlangga University, appears to be effective. There is hope that it will affect the success rates of resuscitation by non-medical personnel. This study uses a quasi-experimental design, with total subjects of 1,378 persons. We compared the level of attitudes using a pre-post test, then linked this to the skill level in performing basic life support after training. The correlation test results show a significant relationship between attitude and skill. Basic life support training for non-medical personnel, using methods from the Faculty of Medicine at Airlangga University, enhances the level of attitude and skill of all participants. 26
