Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillator (AED) education for school teachers by questionnaire survey including the knowledge, self-efficacy and skills of CPR and AED after basic life support (BLS) education.
Methods : The subjects were school teachers who participated in BLS education from 24 Nov. to 1 Dec. 2012. They completed the self-reported questionnaire based on BLS skill checklist.
Results : There was a statistically significant increase in the knowledge(p <.001), self-efficacy (p <.001)and skills(p <.001) of CPR and AED after BLS education. The correlation existed conspicuously between knowledge versus self-efficacy(r =.409, r =.387), knowledge versus skill(r =.442, r =.084), and self-efficacy versus skills (r =-.148, r =.047) of CPR and AED before and after BLS education.
Conclusion : After BLS education, most of the participants found the program was easy and useful to perform. Participants had the willingness to do CPR and AED and wanted to teach BLS to others. It is necessary to provide BLS education for school teachers by systematic approach.
