Dissemination of CPR video self-instruction materials to secondary trainees: Results from a hospital-based CPR education trial

Abstract

Background Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) video self-instruction (VSI) materials have been promoted as a scalable approach to increase the prevalence of CPR skills among the lay public, in part due to the opportunity for secondary training (i.e., sharing of training materials). However, the motivations for, and barriers to, disseminating VSI materials to secondary trainees is poorly understood. Methods This work represents an ancillary investigation of a prospective hospital-based CPR education trial in which family members of cardiac patients were trained using VSI. Mixed-methods surveys were administered to primary trainees six months after initial enrollment. Surveys were designed to capture motivations for, and barriers to, sharing VSI materials, the number of secondary trainees with whom materials were shared, and the settings, timing, and recipients of trainings. Results Between 07/2012–05/2015, 653 study participants completed a six-month follow-up interview. Of those, 345 reported sharing VSI materials with 1455 secondary trainees. Materials were shared most commonly with family members. In a logistic regression analysis, participants in the oldest quartile (age > 63 years) were less likely to share materials compared to those in the youngest quartile (age ≤ 44 years, OR 0.58, CI 0.37–0.90, p=0.02). Among the 308 participants who did not share their materials, time constraints was the most commonly cited barrier for not sharing. Conclusions VSI materials represent a strategy for secondary dissemination of CPR training, yet older individuals have a lower likelihood of sharing relative to younger individuals. Further work is warranted to remedy perceived barriers to CPR dissemination among the lay public using VSI approaches.

The association of layperson characteristics with the quality of simulated cardiopulmonary resuscitation performance

“…[8] A duration of six-month for follow-up testing has been established as a standard in previous studies. [9][10][11][12] Family members were randomized to receive either video self-instruction (VSI) CPR training (with hands-on CPR skills practice) or video-only CPR training (without hands-on CPR skills practice) as a part of the larger RCT. Subjects then performed an unannounced 6-month CPR skills followup test.…”

“…Subjects were instructed in hands-only CPR and performed follow-up testing between August 2012 through May 2015, as described in a previous study published by our group. [8,12] Subjects were enrolled at their respective hospitals and randomized to a CPR training strategy using the American Heart Association (AHA) Family and Friends VSI Kit (Laerdal Medical, Wappingers Falls, NY) either with practice on an infl atable manikin or without practice on an infl atable manikin (video-only). Subjects did not perform baseline CPR skills testing at the initial enrollment session.…”

Determining the motivations of family members to undertake cardiopulmonary resuscitation training through grounded theory

“…First, the responsibility motivation highlights the consciousness of family members vis-à-vis their perceived duty to save SCD victims. Discussions with families about difficulty in obtaining timely professional service can be used to motivate family members to identify their responsibility (Ikeda et al, 2016). Second, the intention to save a loved one can be used to encourage laypersons to attend CPR training.…”

“…). Discussions with families about difficulty in obtaining timely professional service can be used to motivate family members to identify their responsibility(Ikeda et al, 2016). In this study, perceived responsibility to prepare for a health crisis resulted in learning CPR.Our findings of responsibility motivation can be applied to designing various interventions.…”

Actividades Deportivas Con Soporte Musical: ¿una Nueva Forma De Aprender Reanimación Cardiopulmonar?

“…Este aspecto es particularmente importante en la población de mayor edad, especialmente mujeres mayores de 50 años que constituyen el colectivo con más probabilidades de presenciar una PCR en el domicilio, la localización más frecuente. Por este motivo el desarrollo de nuevos métodos de enseñanza y experiencias alternativas adaptadas a todos los colectivos (16,17,(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27) es de gran importancia.…”
