Effect of Cardiac Arrest Management Training on the Ability of Ordinary People to Perform High-Quality Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation

Abstract

Background: The rate of cardiac arrest outside hospitals remains high in Indonesia. Performing Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is advised as an emergency procedure to save a person’s life. However, lack of ordinary people is able to do CPR. Therefore, cardiac arrest management training is considered important to form a bystander in the community.Objective: This study aimed to determine if there is an effect of cardiac arrest management training on the ability of ordinary people to perform high-quality CPR.Methods: This study used one-group pretest-posttest design method with a total sample of 35 participants. Observation sheet based on American Heart Association was used to measure the ability to perform CPR. Paired-t test was used for data analysis.Results: There was a significant effect of the cardiac arrest management training on the ability to perform high-quality CPR (p<.001), with an increase of the mean value from 19.62 (SD=5.50) before intervention to 37.91 (SD=1.29) after intervention.Conclusion: The cardiac arrest management training at the community level is considered effective in increasing the ability to perform high-quality CPR. The findings of this study can be used as input for community nurses to provide pre-hospital management training specifically on cardiac emergency management training continually for ordinary people in order to help improve good prognosis and reduce mortality risk of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

“…Perubahan keterampilan setelah pelaksanaan edukasi dan pelatihan menjadi poin penting untuk mengukur keberhasilan dari suatu edukasi atau pelatihan yang dilakukan. Penelitian-penelitian sebelumnya juga menjelaskan hal yang serupa, bahwasannya efek yang dimunculkan dari pelatihan BHD pada masyarakat adalah perubahan keterampilan, selain perubahan pengetahuan dan sikap (Chien et al, 2020;Nurvitasari et al, 2020;Yunanto et al, 2017). Proses edukasi dan pelatihan yang melibatkan demonstrasi ternyata dapat memudahkan peserta untuk dapat melakukan review secara langsung terhadap tindakan yang dilakukan.…”
