“…Our findings also indicate it is necessary to ensure that those who are responsible for conducting CPR training, for instance teachers, are qualified, feel competent to train students, and have access to good training material. This is supported by previous studies reporting teachers generally do not feel competent to train students . A recent qualitative study of Danish teachers found that teachers generally believe extraordinary skills are required to train students in CPR .…”

BackgroundSchool cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training has become mandatory in many countries, but whether legislation has translated into implementation of CPR training is largely unknown. We assessed CPR training of students following 8 years of legislative mandates in Denmark.Methods and ResultsA nationwide cross‐sectional survey of Danish school leadership (n=1240) and ninth‐grade homeroom teachers (n=1381) was carried out for school year 2013‐2014. Qualitative interviews and the Theory of Planned Behavior were used to construct the survey. Logistic regression models were employed to identify factors associated with completed CPR training. Information from 63.1% of eligible schools was collected: 49.3% (n=611) of leadership and 48.2% (n=665) of teachers responded. According to teachers, 28.4% (95% CI 25.0% to 32.0%) and 10.3% (95% CI 8.1% to 12.8%) of eligible classes had completed CPR and automated external defibrillator training, respectively. Among leadership, 60.2% (95% CI 56.2% to 64.1%) reported CPR training had occurred during the 3 years prior to the survey. Factors associated with completed CPR training included believing other schools were conducting training (odds ratio [OR] 9.68 [95% CI 4.65‐20.1]), awareness of mandating legislation (OR 4.19 [95% CI 2.65‐6.62]), presence of a school CPR training coordinator (OR 3.01 [95% CI 1.84‐4.92]), teacher feeling competent to conduct training (OR 2.78 [95% CI 1.74‐4.45]), and having easy access to training material (OR 2.08 [95% CI 1.57‐2.76]).ConclusionsDespite mandating legislation, school CPR training has not been successfully implemented. Completed CPR training was associated with believing other schools were conducting training, awareness of mandating legislation, presence of a school CPR training coordinator, teachers teacher feeling competent to conduct training, and having easy access to training material. Facilitating these factors may increase rates of school CPR training.

“…Similar findings were described among primary school teachers [6,7]. Mpotos et al [8] tested 4273 school teachers and found that 69% felt inadequate to perform CPR correctly and 73%, being aware of their inadequacy, felt the need of specific training.…”

“…The PICO question can be formulated as follows: Is first aid education (related to one of the above topics) (Intervention) an effective intervention in children (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18) years) (Population) to improve first aid knowledge, first aid skills and/or first aid attitudes (Outcome) compared to no first aid training (Comparison)? In addition, we searched for evidence about the helping behaviour of children.…”

“…However, for teachers http it is not always clear at what age children can learn the different aspects of resuscitation, AED use and/or other aspects regarding first aid, and teachers often feel uncomfortable in teaching this matter. 4,5 In addition, it is not clear what is part of "performing first aid" and we strongly advocate that the first aid curriculum is defined more broadly than CPR training alone. Therefore, the aim of this project was to develop evidence-based an educational pathway to enable first aid to be integrated into primary and secondary education, by defining the goals to be achieved for knowledge, skills and attitudes.…”
