Abstract: Background Locations concentrated with High School (HS) students tend to have lower out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survival rates. Mobile applications (apps) have the capability to augment cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skill retention as a low-cost, accessible training method. Methods An iterative process to develop an app to reinforce CPR skills emphasizing hand placement, compression rate, real-time feedback, and recurring tips is described. The app was tested on HS students to measure its impact on quality and comfort of CPR using Likert surveys and skills assessments before and after one month of usage. CPR Score and compression rate were measured using the Laerdal™ Little Anne Manikin QCPR software. Results Fourteen HS students participated in a prospective observational study. It was found that the use of the developed app was associated with improved CPR performance (80.43% v. 87.86%, p=0.01-0.02, 95% CI=2.20-12.66) after one month. Additionally, improvements were demonstrated in compression rate accuracy (21.43% v. 64.29%, p=0.041, 95% CI=0.132-0.725), increased comfort performing CPR (3.86 v. 4.79, p<0.001, 95% CI =0.99-1.00) and comfort performing CPR on strangers (2.71 v. 4.42, p<0.001, 95% CI=1.24-2.19). In addition, for every time the app was used, CPR performance increased by 0.5668% (p=0.0182). Conclusion Findings suggest that mobile apps may have promising implications as augmentative tools for CPR curriculums.

Introduction: No definitive answer has been given to the question ‘who should teach cardiopulmonary resuscitation?’ Healthcare professionals and high school teachers are mostly the trainers, but medical students are increasingly being used for this purpose. Methods: We divided 296 high school students in three groups based on trainer professional level. Medical students, anaesthesia and intensive care residents, and anaesthesia and intensive care specialists provided basic life support training. We tested their theoretical knowledge with the help of a multiple-choice question questionnaire and practical abilities with the help of a medical simulator, recording chest compression frequency as the primary outcome parameter. Results: The study shows comparable results in all groups, with the exception of the chest compression frequency which was higher in the students’ and residents’ groups (students: 134.7/min ± 14.1; residents: 137.9/min ± 15.9; specialists: 126.3/min ± 19.3). Increased rates were not associated with lower depths (39.0 mm ± 8.2, 40.5 mm ± 9.7, and 38.1 mm ± 8.2), so the quality of compressions provided may be seen as equivalent in all the study groups. Conclusion: Our data suggest that medical students may be as effective as anaesthesia and intensive care specialists and residents in cardiopulmonary resuscitation training.

The aim of this research is to reveal the perceptions of 12th gradevet students about their internship activity and occupational skill training by using metaphors. The universe of the research is 12 th grade vocational and technical high school students in Afyon. In analyzing process content analysis, which is one of the quantitive analysis methods, wasused. According to the results students identified internship and occupational skill training with metaphors such as slavery, experience, funandent ertainment, useless and meaningless. Students’ metaphors such as “slave, torture, grave punishment, share cropper and hodman indicate that students have problems in internship training, the working conditions are not good it heyareseen as cheap work-force and they are not valued. Furthermore students’ metaphors such as “artificial respiration, marsh, broken glass, harassment Show that there is an mismatch between students’ need sand firms’ needs. However, students’ metaphors of internship’ spreparing them for work life, more experience, learning of the job and earning moneys how that students have good attitudes towards the jobs they chose by interiorizing them.Extended English abstract is in the end of PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetBu çalışmanın amacı, mesleki ve teknik ortaöğretim kurumlarının 12. sınıfına devam eden öğrencilerin işletmelerdeki staj ve beceri kazanma eğitimi algılarını metaforlar yoluyla ortaya koymaktır. Araştırmanın çalışma evrenini Afyonkarahisar ilinde mesleki ve teknik liselere devam eden 12.sınıf öğrencileri oluşturmaktadır. Verilerin analizinde nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden içerik analiz tekniği kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre; öğrenciler, staj ve beceri eğitimini, kölelik, tecrübe, keyif ve eğlence, gereksiz ve anlamsız gibi metaforlarla tanımlamışlardır. Öğrencilerin de staj/beceri eğitimine ilişkin “köle, işkence, kabir azabı, maraba, amele” gibi metaforları staj eğitiminde sorunlar yaşandığı, çalışma koşullarının uygun olmadığı, ucuz işgücü olarak görüldüğü ve değer verilmediğinin göstergeleri niteliğindedir. Yine staj ve beceri eğitimi alan öğrencilerin “suni solunum, bataklık, kırık bardak, usandırma, patlıcan yoğurma” gibi metaforları, öğrencilerin beklentileri ile işletmelerin beklentileri arasında bir uyumsuzluk olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bununla birlikte, öğrencilerin, staj/beceri eğitim çalışmalarının kişiyi iş yaşamına hazırladığı, tecrübesini arttırdığı, mesleği öğrendiği, para kazandırdığı yönündeki metaforları, staj/beceri eğitimi ile seçmiş olduğu mesleği içselleştirerek olumlu bir tutum içerisinde olduklarını göstermektedir.

Background and Objective: Rational, emotional, and behavioral skills include self-awareness, as well as critical and creative thinking, which assist individuals in acquiring a deeper understanding of their personality, weaknesses, strengths, emotions, values, and identity. The present research aimed to compare the effect of the rational-emotional theory and strict discipline on rational, emotional, and behavioral skills among high school second-grade students. Materials and Methods: The current study was conducted based on a pre and post-test design on three groups, including one control and two test groups. The statistical population consisted of 90 male second-grade high school students in Tehran during 2019-2020. The G*Power software was used to calculate the sample size. A number of 75 second-grade students were recruited for this study via the convenient sampling method. After that, the participants were assigned to three groups of 25 students. A self-made questionnaire of life skills, similar to Saatchi, Kamkar, and Askarian, was employed for data collection. Fifteen experts in curriculum planning confirmed the internal and external validity of the questionnaire. Moreover, its reliability was confirmed, rendering a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.92. The data were analyzed in SPSS software (version 21) using multi-variant analysis of the covariance and Scheffe's Post Hoc test. Results: Based on the results, the rational-emotional method had a more significant effect on students' rational (F=11.56, P<0.001), emotional (F=20.33, P<0.001), and behavioral skills (F=16.67, P<0.001), compared to the strict discipline. Conclusions: It can be concluded that life skill training through rational-emotional theory brings about a marked increase in students' rational, behavioral, and emotional skills. Nevertheless, the strict discipline method revealed no significant association between training students on life skills and increased rational, behavioral, and emotional skills.
