Background
Health promoting schools (HPS) prioritize the health of students and community. One important target of HPS is noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), including prevention of heart attacks, due to their burden on healthcare.
Objective
This study assesses the effectiveness of an educational intervention to promote knowledge of signs and symptoms, beliefs and attitudes towards heart attack, and promote knowledge of Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
Methods
The intervention consisted of a 6-minute educational video between a pre-and post-survey. Among other questions, the survey included the Calgary Charter on Health literacy scale, the acute coronary syndrome response index questionnaire, and items assessing knowledge of CPR.
Results
A total of 401 high school students participated (58.9% females). Few students had adequate baseline knowledge of heart attack symptoms (22%) and CPR (7%). The sample showed moderate level of health literacy (12 ± 2.7). Chest pain was the most identified symptom (95%) while abdominal pain was the least identified (14.25%). The intervention significantly increased knowledge, beliefs and attitudes towards heart attack, and knowledge of CPR (p < 0.001). Following the intervention, 83.2% of students demonstrated sufficient knowledge of heart attack symptoms, and 45% exhibited adequate knowledge of CPR. Variables predictive of better attitude, in other words higher confidence in recognizing and reacting to symptoms of heart attack, included having higher health literacy and prior knowledge of risk factors (p < 0.05). Needing help reading medical instructions sometimes predicted worse belief in their capacity to act if they experienced or witnessed a heart attack [score (p < 0.05)]. It was also predictive of worse attitude towards heart attack (OR = 0.18).
Conclusion
High school students in Lebanon lack appropriate knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs toward heart attack, and lack CPR qualifications. Scale up of this educational initiative, along with training of teachers and school personnel, can be used as part of a holistic HPS program aimed at raising awareness of heart attack and first responder preparedness.
... Ada sekitar 544.000 kematian henti jantung mendadak di China setiap tahun (lebih dari 1500 setiap hari), sekitar 70% diantaranya terjadi di luar rumah sakit. Tetapi, taraf kelangsungan hidup pasca-OHCA di Cina lebih rendah dari 1%,yang jauh lebih rendah daripada di Amerika Serikat kurang lebih (12%) [4]. Sedangkan di Indonesia sendiri berdasarkan Data Riset Kesehatan Dasar (Riskesdas) Tahun 2018, angka insiden penyakit jantung semakin meningkat dari tahun ke tahun dengan prevalensi penyakit jantung di Indonesia sebanyak 1,5%. ...
Background: Basic life support is an emergency action that can be done by ordinary people to free the airway, help to breathe and maintain blood circulation without using aids. Knowledge of basic life support (BLS) is a knowledge and skill because if you only know the theory without doing training or practice, then the motivation to help becomes lacking and mentally untrained when dealing with real events. Purpose: To determine the level of knowledge of students and staff of Madrasah Aliyah Al-Azhar Asy Syarif Islamic Boarding School Deli Serdang about BLS. Method: The design used in this study is a cross-sectional method. Data collection was in the form of a questionnaire containing questions about BLS training. Questionnaire collection was carried out twice, namely the pretest which was carried out before the BLS material and training were given by the instructor and the posttest which was carried out after the BLS material and training were given. Results: Respondents' post-test scores obtained fewer values, 5 respondents (4.24%) had enough values, and 113 respondents (95.76%) had good scores. It was found that respondents got quite a good score after training on BLS. Conclusion: Based on the level of knowledge of students and staff at MA Al-Azhar Asy Syarif Islamic Boarding School Deli Serdang about BLS, it is included in the good category.

This study aims to identify high school students' willingness to provide essential life support to victims of cardiac arrest outside the hospital. The research method used in this study is a descriptive survey. The results showed that more students reported a willingness to perform CPR to friends (89.58%), closest family members (81.25%), and relatives (77.08%) than other victims. The two main reasons respondents did not want to do CPR were fear of endangering the victim (68.75%) and fear of legal problems (43.75%). As many as 89.29% of female respondents and 90% of male respondents want to do CPR. In conclusion, respondents are willing to act in CPR on OHCA and wish to learn about it. The positive attitude shown by respondents can be a driving force for creating education and training strategies that can increase knowledge, skills, and willingness to act on CPR among high school students.
... A previous research indicated that the overall CPR qualification rate of senior high school students in Shanghai is 7.7%. [26] Moreover, people between 31 and 50 years of age and with a graduate degree or above are more knowledgeable about CPR. [27] These findings are basically in line with the present survey results. ...
Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the current knowledge levels on cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated external defibrillators of Chinese citizens. Methods: A face-to-face questionnaire survey on the knowledge of and attitudes toward the use of CPR and AEDs during an OHCA event was conducted in three high-traffic train stations in Hangzhou and Taizhou, China. The survey included questions on previous experience with CPR, recognition of cardiac arrest, CPR-related concerns, and AED knowledge. Results: A total of 6268 participants were surveyed about their knowledge of and attitudes toward the use of CPR and AEDs. A total of 5981 valid questionnaires, including 3008 from female respondents (50.2%) and 2973 from male respondents (49.8%), were retrieved. The participants were geographically distributed as follows: 18.5% from western China, 19.5% from central China, and 77.0% from eastern China. The educational level, regular residence, and sex of the respondents, as well as legislative policies, were relevant to the knowledge of and attitudes toward the use of CPR and AEDs for OHCA events. The results showed that men were more active than women in terms of CPR training and implementation, as well as had more knowledge and used AEDs more often. More people in eastern and central China had witnessed CPR performance, would pay for CPR training, and would be willing to perform CPR if there was a related legislative policy. Moreover, educational level was crucial to the knowledge of and attitudes toward the use of CPR and AEDs during OHCA events. Conclusions: Chinese citizens lack CPR and AED knowledge and training compared with people in developed countries. We recommend that the state should increase public awareness of CPR and AEDs in China. Mass education, policy implementation, specialized training, and legislative action should be carried out.
Objectives:
This study's purpose was to assess the attitudes and willingness of middle school students to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and to use automated external defibrillator (AED) in emergencies, and to evaluate the overall effects of first aid training.
Results:
Middle school students demonstrated a high willingness to learn CPR (95.87%) and AED (77.90%). However, the rate of CPR (9.87%) and AED (3.51%) training was relatively low. These trainings could improve their confidence while facing emergencies. Their main concerns were "Lack of first aid knowledge", "Lack of confidence in rescue skills" and "Fear of hurting the patient".
Conclusions:
Chinese middle school students are willing to learn CPR and AED skills, but relative trainings are insufficient and should be reinforced.
Background
Prompt, effective CPR greatly increases the chances of survival in out-of-hospital c ardiac arrest. However, it is often not provided, even by people who have previously undertaken training. Psychological and behavioural factors are likely to be important in relation to CPR initiation by lay-people but have not yet been systematically identified.
Methods
Aim: to identify the psychological and behavioural factors associated with CPR initiation amongst lay-people.
Design: Systematic review
Data sources: Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycInfo and Google Scholar.
Study eligibility criteria: Primary studies reporting psychological or behavioural factors and data on CPR initiation involving lay-people published (inception to 31 Dec 2021).
Study appraisal and synthesis methods: Potential studies were screened independently by two reviewers. Study characteristics, psychological and behavioural factors associated with CPR initiation were extracted from included studies, categorised by study type and synthesised narratively.
Results
One hundred and five studies (150,820 participants) comprising various designs, populations and of mostly weak quality were identified. The strongest and most ecologically valid studies identified factors associated with CPR initiation: the overwhelming emotion of the situation , perceptions of capability , uncertainty about when CPR is appropriate , feeling unprepared and fear of doing harm . Current evidence comprises mainly atheoretical cross-sectional surveys using unvalidated measures with relatively little formal testing of relationships between proposed variables and CPR initiation.
Conclusions
Preparing people to manage strong emotions and increasing their perceptions of capability are likely important foci for interventions aiming to increase CPR initiation. The literature in this area would benefit from more robust study designs.
