“…42 Regardless of teaching method, CPR training increased participant confidence, perceived competency, and willingness to help. 43 Merely testing skills leads to a higher retention of knowledge; thus, incorporating testing into simple training programs may be useful. 44 The reported rates of CPR and AED instruction suggest that alternative strategies are needed to ensure that all schools are compliant with the legislated curriculum and more students are learning CPR and AED skills.…”

Objectives: Bystander resuscitation efforts, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and use of an automatic external defibrillator (AED), save lives in cardiac arrest cases. School training in CPR and AED use may increase the currently low community rates of bystander resuscitation. The study objective was to determine the rates of CPR and AED training in Toronto secondary schools and to identify barriers to training and training techniques. Methods: This prospective study consisted of telephone interviews conducted with key school staff knowledgeable about CPR and AED teaching. An encrypted Web-based tool with prespecified variables and built-in logic was employed to standardize data collection. Results: Of 268 schools contacted, 93% were available for interview and 83% consented to participate. Students and staff were trained in CPR in 51% and 80% of schools, respectively. Private schools had the lowest training rate (39%). Six percent of schools provided AED training to students and 47% provided AED training to staff. Forty-eight percent of schools had at least one AED installed, but 25% were unaware if their AED was registered with emergency services dispatch. Cost (17%), perceived need (11%), and school population size (10%) were common barriers to student training. Frequently employed training techniques were interactive (32%), didactic instruction (30%) and printed material (16%). Conclusions: CPR training rates for staff and students were moderate overall and lowest in private schools, whereas training rates in AED use were poor in all schools. Identified barriers to training include cost and student population size (perceived to be too small to be cost-effective or too large to be implemented). Future studies should assess the application of convenient and cost-effective teaching alternatives not presently in use. RÉ SUMÉObjectifs: Les manoeuvres de ré animation effectué es par les té moins, telles que la ré animation cardiorespiratoire (RCR) et l'utilisation du dé fibrillateur externe automatique (DEA), peuvent sauver la vie dans les cas d'arrê t cardiaque. Enseigner, dans les é coles, la RCR et l'utilisation du DEA peut augmenter les faibles taux de ré animation effectué e par les té moins, enregistré s au moment de l'é tude dans les collectivité s. L'é tude visait à dé terminer les taux de formation sur la RCR et l'utilisation du DEA dans les é coles secondaires à Toronto et à cerner les obstacles à la formation et aux techniques de formation. Mé thode: Il s'agit d'une é tude prospective, qui consistait en des entrevues té lé phoniques et qui a é té mené e parmi des membres importants du personnel, bien au fait de la formation sur la RCR et l'utilisation du DEA. Nous avons utilisé un outil Web, encodé , comportant des variables pré dé terminé es et doté d'une fonction logique inté gré e pour uniformiser la collecte de donné es. Ré sultats: Sur 268 é coles avec lesquelles nous avons communiqué , 93% ont fait é cho à la demande d'entrevue et 83% ont accepté d'y participer. Les é lè ves et ...

“…In a preliminary study that evaluated a web-based self-training program for BLS there was no significant correlation between the time spent using the program and the quality of performance 23. A study24 that examined attitude changes (competence, confidence and willingness to perform CPR) as a function of different CPR training modalities found that the control group, who were merely tested and not trained, had similar attitude changes to those of the trained groups. They conclude that the mere exposure to CPR testing can induce a positive attitude and it may be this same phenomenon that we see in our study, where the group who did not use the training kit still had an improved CPR performance.…”

“…33 Studies exploring advances in computer and multimedia technologies support alternatives to traditional approaches to training. [34][35][36][37] Finn, however, warns against the adoption of new approaches without evaluation as new innovations are not always associated with improvements in learning outcomes. 38,39 …”
