Study design: Clinical Trial
Abstract: Simplification of basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) enables easy production of videos for training, and non-face-to-face training can be provided via internet. The participants of this study were 89 university students who took basic CPR class in 2020. We utilized teaching materials that is a 50-minute teaching material for standard adult CPR, comprised of a 25-minute power point slide show and a 25-minute video. All participants completed self-learning via Google Classroom (Alphabet Inc., Mountain View, USA). The participants took compression-only (C-O) practical examination consisting of 180 chest compressions after 5-minute C-O CPR using Resusci Anne SkillReporter (Laerdal Medical, Stavanger, Norway). The collected data were analyzed at an ⍺=.05 using the SPSS 20.0 for Windows (IBM Inc, New York, USA). Changes in willingness, knowledge, performance, and attitude toward CPR before and after the practical exam were analyzed using t-tests. Willingness to perform CPR increased from 1.78 to 2.02, showing a statistically significant change (p=.040). The knowledge score increased from 3.12 to 3.56 and performance score increased from 2.87 to 3.36. The attitude score increased from 3.39 to 3.69, and all these changes were statistically significant (p<.001; p<.001; p<.001). The practical exam on self-learning of basic CPR was effective on improving willingness, knowledge, performance, and attitudes of non-healthcare providers.
