“…3 Unfortunately, bystander CPR rates have remained low over the past decade, rarely exceeding 20%. 2,4 Various attempts have been made in the past to improve bystander CPR rates, including • the organization of mass CPR training events [5][6][7][8][9][10] • CPR training of family members of patients suffering from heart disease [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] • promotional CPR videos 19,[23][24][25] • CPR training of high school students. 24,[26][27][28][29] None of these initiatives have succeeded in significantly improving bystander CPR or survival rates for out-ofhospital cardiac arrest.…”

Objectives: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a crucial yet weak link in the chain of survival for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. We sought to understand the determinants of bystander CPR and the factors associated with successful training. Methods: For this systematic review, we searched 11 electronic databases, 1 trial registry and 9 scientific websites. We performed hand searches and contacted 6 content experts. We reviewed without restriction all communications pertaining to who should learn CPR, what should be taught, when to repeat training, where to give CPR instructions and why people lack the motivation to learn and perform CPR. We used standardized forms to review papers for inclusion, quality and data extraction. We grouped publications by category and classified recommendations using a standardized classification system that was based on level of evidence. Results: We reviewed 2409 articles and selected 411 for complete evaluation. We included 252 of the 411 papers in this systematic review. Differences in their study design precluded a meta-analysis. We classified 22 recommendations; those with the highest scores were 1) 9-1-1 dispatchassisted CPR instructions, 2) teaching CPR to family members of cardiac patients, 3) Braslow's selftraining video, 4) maximizing time spent using manikins and 5) teaching the concepts of ambiguity and diffusion of responsibility. Recommendations not supported by evidence include mass training events, pulse taking prior to CPR by laymen and CPR using chest compressions alone. Conclusion:We evaluated and classified the potential impact of interventions that have been proposed to improve bystander CPR rates. Our results may help communities design interventions to improve their bystander CPR rates. RÉSUMÉ Objectifs : La réanimation cardio-respiratoire (RCR) est un maillon essentiel, quoique faible, de la chaîne de survie lors de la survenue d'un arrêt cardiaque hors de l'hôpital. Nous avons cherché à comprendre les déterminants du taux de passants pouvant administrer la RCR et les facteurs liés à une formation efficace. Méthodes : Dans le cadre de cette revue systématique, nous avons analysé 11 bases de données électroniques, un registre d'essais cliniques et neuf sites Web scientifiques. Nous avons réalisé des recherches manuelles et communiqué avec six experts du contenu. Nous avons examiné sans restriction toutes les communications portant sur les questions suivantes : qui devrait apprendre la RCR, ce qu'on devrait enseigner, QUAND la formation devrait être renouvelée, où les cours de

ÖZETAmaç: Bu çalışma, Ankara ili Akyurt ilçesinde bulunan bir mobilya fabrikası çalışanlarının mevcut ilk yardım bilgi düzeylerini saptamak ve verilen ilk yardım eğitimi sonrasında ölçülen bilgi düzeylerini önceki durumla karşılaştırmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Eğitim durumu ve daha önce ilk yardım eğitimi alınıp alınmadığı gibi ilk yardım bilgi düzeyini etkileyebileceği düşünülen faktörler de çalışma kapsamında araştırılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma 61 kişiye yönelik olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Katılımcıların ilk yardım bilgi seviyelerini ölçmek için anket yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Katılımcıların mevcut durumlarını belirlemek için yüz yüze görüşme yoluyla gerçekleştirilen öntest akabinde ilk yardım konusunda teorik bir eğitim verilmiş ve sonrasında söz konusu test yinelenmiştir. Katılımcılar için 100 üzerinden ilk yardım bilgi puanları hesaplanmış ve karşılaştırmalar bu puanlar kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Öntest sonucu katılımcıların puan ortalaması 54,1 iken, sontest sonucu puan ortalaması 69,9 olarak gerçekleşmiştir. Verilen eğitimin bir diğer etkisi de ilk yardım bilgi seviyesindeki artışın genele yansımış olmasıdır. Nitekim bilgi puanı için öntest sonucunda 338,46 olarak belirlenen varyans, sontestten sonra yaklaşık %67'lik bir azalış göstererek 112,32'ye düşmüştür. Keza 84 olan dağılım aralığı 52'ye inmiştir. Sonuçlar: Çalışma sonucunda, ilk yardım eğitiminin katılımcıların bilgi seviyelerini önemli derecede arttırdığı ve eğitim düzeyinden ve daha önceki kurslardan kaynaklanan katılımcılar arası bilgi farklılıklarını ortadan kaldırdığı belirlenmiştir. ABSTRACTObjectives: This study was conducted to determine the current level of first aid knowledge of the workers and compare it to the level that measured after a training given at a furniture manufacturing factory located in Akyurt district of Ankara province. In the study, educational status and the state of being received a first aid course previously were also analyzed considering the possible effects on first aid knowledge level. Material and Method: 61 employees were covered in the study. Survey methodology was used in order to measure the level of first aid knowledge. Firstly, to view the current status, the participants were applied pre-test with a questionnaire by face to face interview, than they trained on first aid subject, and post-test was applied with the same questionnaire. Participants' first aid knowledge scores were calculated as of 100 points and comparisons were made using these scores. Results: While the mean score of participants was 54.1 according to the pretest, after posttest the mean score of participants was raised to 69.9. Another effect of the given training was the widespread increase in the level of first aid knowledge. Thus the variance of pre-test fell from 338.46 to 112.32 in the post-test with a decrease of about 67%. Likewise, the range dropped to 52 from 84 in terms of first aid knowledge scores. Conclusion: As a result, the participants' knowledge of first aid significantly increased after the training and it is...

“…Individually, these strategies can only offer limited results, and should be adopted concurrently. Mass CPR training events can successfully teach CPR to a large number of people at a time, [12][13][14] but have a tendency to reach younger participants less likely to live with a potential cardiac arrest victim. 15,16 Family members of patients with known cardiovascular disease can learn and benefit from CPR training, 17,18 but only 50% of OOHCA victims have known cardiovascular disease before the event.…”
