Objective: To assess the Nigerian primary and secondary school teachers' knowledge and attitude towards cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Methodology: A questionnaire-based cross-sectional study of Post NCE Sandwich students (primary and secondary school teachers) involving 322 -213(71%) females and 87(29%) males aged 22-60 years from 14 out of the 36 States of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Originally, 325 copies of the questionnaire were distributed, giving a response rate of 92%. The data was analyzed using both descriptive and non-parametric statistics with statistical significance set at P < 0.05. Results: 64.29% gave wrong answers to questions on CPR knowledge with rejection of the null hypothesis on their CPR knowledge, meaning that the participants significantly had poor knowledge of CPR (P <.05) while 79.9% showed positive attitude towards CPR with the null hypothesis on their attitude towards CPR (meaning that the teachers significantly wanted CPR teaching and training in Nigerian schools, P< .05).

“…Similarly, in a study carried out in Nigeria, the performance of high school children in CPR was positively impacted where the pre-training CPR skills were virtually zero and post-training gain in CPR skills was of 92.0%. [ 13 ] In another study carried out involving high school students in South India, the pre-training CPR skills score was 2.6 and the post-training CPR skills score was 12.44, the difference of which ended up being statistically significant. [ 14 ] This again displayed good knowledge retention by the students.…”

The understanding and recall of school children in Mumbai in compression only life support cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Background and Aims: Out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Increased bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is observed in regions where school CPR training has been mandatory and led to reduced mortality by OHCA. We would like to explore the feasibility of teaching compression only life support (COLS) CPR to Indian school children through the following objectives determining their understanding of theoretical knowledge after a training session in the Indian Society of Anaesthesiologists' (ISA) COLS protocol and reviewing the information recall three months later. Methods: The participants of this quasi-experimental study were 132 school children, aged 12 to 15. The children were all below the age of 18 and consent was obtained vicariously through the principals of the schools and assent from the students in the form of willingness to answer the multiple-choice questionnaires. The study sample comprised of participants who responded to both questionnaires, immediately post-training session and three months later. Their responses were compiled in Excel and analysed using the paired t -test and R programming language. Results: None of the children had any previous knowledge on COLS. A one-hour session in COLS proved sufficient to increase the baseline knowledge with a mean post-training score by 82%. On comparing the two scores obtained, a statistically significant attrition rate was observed ( P < 0.001). Conclusion: The children exhibited good understanding of COLS after a single training session. This makes us believe that more periodic revision, probably by inclusion of COLS in school curricula could be a satisfactory solution towards lowering the attrition in knowledge recall.

“…An earlier Nigerian study showed that while age had statistically significant influence on attitude of some Nigerian students to cardiopulmonary resuscitation, gender did not. 43 In another similar study, 44 it was reported that neither age nor gender had any significant effect on the cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills of some Nigerian students who were trained on bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation.…”

“…In Nigeria, few earlier reports have shown the willingness, ability to learn and retain CPR knowledge and skills by some secondary school students and their desire to have it incorporated in Nigerian school system . [21][22][23] Their enthusiasm can only be sustained and concretized if and when the teachers are adequately trained to become trainers in schools when the Nigerian Government eventually runs with this innovation in line with international expectation. However, the knowledge and attitude of teachers globally have been shown to impact on the effectiveness of CPR programmes in schools.…”

Objective: To assess the impact of age and sex on the bystander CPR Knowledge in a group of Nigerian student teachers. Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental study design was used with the cohort made up of forty one (41) male and forty one (41) female undergraduate students of Physical and Health Education with 40 participants in the 17-20 years age group and 42 participants belonging to the 21-28 years of age bracket were randomly selected from the larger main cohort for analysis of possible impact of age and sex on their pre-training and post-training cardiopulmonary resuscitation knowledge. In addition to the descriptive statistics, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to test the null hypotheses generated with significance level set at P < 0.05. Results: No significant age impact was found on the pre-training and post-training CPR knowledge of the student teachers (P > 0.05). However, there was a positive impact of male gender on post-training CPR knowledge of the participants (P <0.001). Conclusion: Although age could not impact significantly on the cardiopulmonary resuscitation knowledge of the participants, male gender significantly impacted on the post-training cardiopulmonary resuscitation knowledge of the cohort.
