Cardiac Arrest Circulatory Clinical Trial
Official title:
Improving Education of Community Chain of Survival Through Innovative Teaching, Implementing Teamwork Skills, and Survey on Attitude and Willingness: A Pilot Study
"High-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)" and "early defibrillation" are the most
important parts of "the chain of survival", and they are highly associated with the survival
rate and life quality of patients with cardiac arrest. It needs the witness to perform
bystander CPR and use the automated external defibrillator (AED) if CPR and defibrillation
are expected to be performed earlier. Nevertheless, few patients with cardiac arrest received
bystander CPR in Taiwan. It might be caused by some reasons. First, traditional training
programs were inefficient and ineffective in the retention of skills and thus students were
not confident in their CPR skills after receiving training programs. Second, the current
training module focused on personal skill training only and lacked teamwork skills training.
It led to poor performance of the students in actual resuscitation scene, where on-scene
resuscitators were usually more than one. Third, the current training contents did not
improve the attitudes and willingness of performing bystander CPR and it caused people who
had received training program did not resuscitate the patients finally. To improve the
above-mentioned problem, a three-year research project will be implemented. The aims of the
project are the following:
1. to explore the effect of different teaching contents and hand-on practice feedback
methods on the students' performance of chest compressing, ventilating and using AED in
the CPR and AED training courses.
2. to analyze the current situation of teamwork when CPR and AED were performed, to build
up the collaborating module accordingly and evaluate the effect of the new module on the
students' performance of chest compressing, ventilating and using AED after the module
is introduced into the training course.
3. to understand the factors affecting the motivations and willingness of people to learn
and practice CPR and AED by utilizing questionnaires, and then to evaluate the effect of
the creative program, which was modified according to the results of the questionnaires,
on the motivations and willingness of people to learn and practice CPR and AED.
The investigators expect to design a more efficient resuscitation skill training course by
implementing the research project and further to improve the motivations and willingness of
people to learn and practice CPR and AED in the future.
