“…As presented previously, the overall findings show no differences between the film-based methods included in this paper regarding students’ practical skills or willingness to act 11–13. The design of the intervention has been described in detail elsewhere 13 14. Before the study, a letter with information about the study was sent to the students and their guardians.…”

ObjectivesThe aim was to investigate whether the students’ native language, Swedish as native language (SNL) versus other native language (ONL), affects cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills or willingness to act after film-based training in Swedish.Setting13-year-old students in two municipalities.DesignA subgroup from a previous randomised study was analysed. During 2013 to 2014, a film-based CPR method was evaluated. Practical skills and willingness to act were assessed directly after training and after 6 months. CPR skills were evaluated using a modified Cardiff test.ParticipantsA total of 641 students were included in the analysis (SNL, n=499; ONL, n=142).Primary and secondary outcome measuresPrimary endpoint was the total score of the modified Cardiff test at 6 months. The secondary endpoints were total score directly after training, individual variables for the test and self-reported willingness to act.ResultsAt the practical test, SNL students scored better than ONL students; directly after training, 67% vs 61% of maximum score, respectively (p<0.001); at 6 months, 61% vs 56% of maximum score (p<0.001). Most students were willing to perform compressions and ventilation on a friend (SNL 85% vs ONL 84%). However, if the victim was a stranger, ONL students were more willing to perform both compressions and ventilation than SNL students (52% vs 38% after training, p<0.001; 42% vs 31% at 6 months, p=0.032). SNL students preferred to initiate chest compressions only.ConclusionsSNL students scored slightly higher in the practical CPR skill test than ONL students. Willingness to act was generally high, however ONL students reported higher willingness to perform both compressions and ventilation if the victim was a stranger. Further research is needed to investigate how CPR educational material should be designed and simplified for optimal learning by students. Different language versions or including feedback in CPR training can be a way to increase learning.Ethics approvalThe study was approved by the Regional Ethical Review Board of Linköping, Sweden (2013/358-31).Trial registration numberNCT03233490; Pre-results.

“…The participants’ education level is directly proportional to the attitude level and practice of CPR, which is consistent with some previous studies. [ 18 19 ] The higher survival rate of the cardiac arrest victims was related to the educational background in another study. [ 20 ]…”

Objective: It has been proved that bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) saves lives and it is important to rise the willingness of the general population to help cardiac arrest victims. The primary objective of the present study is to assess the levels of the knowledge and attitude toward CPR among the young population who underwent the largest CPR training session in an official attempt to enter the Guinness Book of Records. Methods: Through a cross-sectional design, the study had 2,528 subjects, who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria during the largest CPR training session at the King Abdul-Aziz Sports City Stadium, Makkah city, Saudi Arabia. Results: Descriptive statistics showed that two-thirds (72%) of the subjects were in the age category of less than 20 years. At least 50% of the subjects had a Bachelor’s degree. Overall, the findings of this study suggested a good level of knowledge and attitude against CPR and this is might be attributed to certain factors which are mainly the high level of education, age, and gender factors ( P value < 0.05). Conclusion: Our findings support the need for proper and high-quality training for each member in the community about CPR as well as using social media and online training to highlight the importance of CPR among the young population.

“…For example, in some Scandinavian countries where education of schoolchildren in CPR is mandatory, bystander CPR rates are high [39]. An easy and low-cost strategy consists of CPR training at least two hours a year to students starting at the age of 12, which would allow for the training of a whole new generation and could have a high impact on public health [40], though it would require additional training and education of personnel to teach the technique and direct the courses. Furthermore, starting CPR training at a young age allows these skills to be retained for a lifetime and be easily refreshed [41].…”

Introduction: Early, high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) increases survival rates in cardiac arrest. Although most cases occur at home and are witnessed, CPR is performed in few of these cases. For this reason, teaching CPR is especially important in relatives of patients with high cardiovascular risk. Therefore, the aim of this study was to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Family and Friends CPR course in the theoretical and practical learning of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in relatives of patients with high cardiovascular risk or who have suffered a cardiovascular event. Materials and methods: We carried out an analytical, quasi-experimental, prospective, before-and-after study. We selected 20 participants during outpatient consultation at the Cardiology Department of the Cayetano Heredia Hospital in Lima, Peru. A theoretical knowledge questionnaire and an adult CPR checklist were used to assess the level of theoretical and practical knowledge, respectively. The theoretical knowledge was measured at three points in time (before, immediately after and one month after the intervention) and the practical skills at two points in time (immediately after and a month after the intervention). Results: The level of theoretical knowledge was low (8.64 ± 2.47) before the intervention, achieving a good level of knowledge immediately after (17.33 ± 2.02) and one month later (16.5 ± 1.91). Furthermore, the medians of the level of practical knowledge were 15 immediately after and one month later, showing that they maintained a good level of practical knowledge. Conclusions: The Family and Friends CPR course was effective in the theoretical and practical learning of CPR in the studied population, and was sustained one month after the intervention.
