Abstract

|
|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of hands-only CPR education according to the American Heart Association (2015) guideline for undergraduates with severe visual impairment, to provide basic data for expanding the subject of hands-only CPR education among the visually impaired.
Methods: Twenty-one students attending four universities in C Province, aged 19 years or older, were enrolled in this study. These students had severe visual impairment and no other disabilities and have never received hands-only CPR education. This study data were collected from December 1, 2017 to January 11, 2018. The accuracy of the participants’technique was measured using Brayden Pro CPR manikin. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 24.0.
Results: Hands-only CPR education was effective in increasing confidence and accuracy of chest compression among undergraduates with severe visual impairment.
Conclusion: These findings suggest that individuals with severe visual impairment should be given more educational opportunities. Additionally, subsequent studies should develop equipment that helps increase accuracy by using video aids with commentary or other auditory components for the visually impaired.
