Exploration Of Comprehensive Training In Promoting Cardio-pulmonary Resuscitation Knowledge, Skills And Willingness Of Non-medical Undergraduates

Objective:To discuss the application of comprehensive training in promoting cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) knowledge, skills and willingness of non-medical undergraduates, and to provide basis for CPR education.Method:Total 280 non-medical undergraduates were enrolled from local university, including 174 males and 106 females. Questionnaire and appraisal program were designed to acquire the baseline CPR knowledge, skills and willingness. All undergraduates received comprehensive training (experimental group EG 132) or traditional training (control group CG 148), and were surveyed again after the training. Changes of CPR knowledge, skills and willingness within each group and between two groups, before and after training, were compared.Result:The theory scores of the EG before and after the training were 47.86±4.72 and 87.68±5.63, respectively. The theory scores of the CG before and after the training were 48.39±4.89 and 71.61±5.24 respectively. Theory scores of the two groups after the training were significantly different (P<0.001). Qualified rates of CPR skills of the EG before and after the training were 26.5% and 81.8%, respectively. Qualified rates of CPR skills of the CG before and after the raining were 26.4% and 68.2%, respectively. Levels of skill improvement of the two groups after the training were significantly different (P<0.001). The willingness rates of the EG to perform CPR for others before and after the training were 13.6% and 64.4%, respectively. The willingness rates of the CG to perform CPR for others before and after the training were 14.2% and 46.6%, respectively. The levels of such willingness of the two groups after the training were significantly different (P<0.0001). Differences of CPR knowledge, skills and willingness between the two groups were not significant (P>0.05) before the training.Conclusion:Comprehensive training can enhance CPR knowledge, skills and willingness of non-medical undergraduates, and provide guidance for CPR education among various social groups.
