Bystander Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Background: Hong Kong rates of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation are very low by international standards. Several Hong Kong secondary schools have begun incorporating cardiopulmonary resuscitation training into their curriculums for teachers and students. Objective: This study aimed to explore secondary school cardiopulmonary resuscitation programs and better understand school principals’ attitudes toward cardiopulmonary resuscitation training. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was sent to all Hong Kong secondary school principals (public and private, except for special education schools) between December 2017 and March 2018. A self-administered questionnaire of 20 items focusing on school characteristics, details of any in-school cardiopulmonary resuscitation materials or training, attitudes toward teaching cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and any barriers or ways to promote school cardiopulmonary resuscitation training was given to all school principals in the territory. This study was approved by the Survey and Behavioural Research Ethics committee of the Chinese University of Hong Kong on September 13, 2017. Results: Out of the 506 schools contacted, 110 completed surveys were returned (21.7%). Cardiopulmonary resuscitation training was offered in 33.6% (37/110), while 92.7% (102/110) had an automatic external defibrillator. A majority (69.1% (76/110)) agreed or strongly agreed that cardiopulmonary resuscitation training should be compulsory for secondary school students. In schools where cardiopulmonary resuscitation was taught, most cardiopulmonary resuscitation students were aged 15–17 years, and most courses ran for < 5 h. Increased funding could encourage more schools to offer cardiopulmonary resuscitation training to students in the future. Conclusion: One-third (33.6%) of Hong Kong secondary schools offer cardiopulmonary resuscitation training. Increased funding may support school-based cardiopulmonary resuscitation instruction and improve rates of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the future.

Background: Similar to many Asian cities, there is no statutory provision for the determination of the duty borne by bystander first aiders when assisting victims in Hong Kong. Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the views of a Good Samaritan Law by first-aid learners in Hong Kong. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among first-aid course participants from the two largest training providers in Hong Kong using a self-administered questionnaire. Results: In total, 1223 questionnaires were completed and returned. Only 12.1% (147/1211) of participants have ever heard of Good Samaritan Law. After a short description of Good Samaritan Law was provided, 71.4% (848/1188) agreed or strongly agreed on a Likert-type scale that a Good Samaritan Law is necessary; 95.2% (1148/1223) support the enactment of a Good Samaritan Law in Hong Kong. Conclusion: The majority of first-aid learners in Hong Kong supported the enactment of Good Samaritan Law. Overcoming the fear of litigation and improving bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation rate is a priority for improving survival rates from sudden cardiac arrest in Hong Kong.

ABSTRACT Background Secondary schools are an important setting for preventing obesity in adolescence. Headteachers and chairs of governors are identified in national guidance as crucial stakeholders for school-based preventative action. Despite this, their views remain unexplored and unrepresented. Methods A sequential mixed method study was conducted. Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with a purposive sample of 22 secondary school headteachers and chairs of governors in England. Data were thematically analysed and informed the development of a descriptive cross-sectional survey, completed by 127 participants from the same population. Results Unhealthy dietary and sedentary behaviours were viewed as a more significant problem than adolescent obesity. Obesity was perceived as complex and multi-causal, and a range of stakeholders were deemed to have responsibility for its prevention, most notably parents. Support was identified for the role of secondary schools, although this was not an explicit priority and extensive internal and external barriers exist, which hinder preventative action. Conclusions Whilst secondary school settings in England remain an important setting for the prevention of adolescent obesity, it is crucial for policy makers and public health professionals to recognize the factors affecting school leaders’ ability and willingness to contribute to this agenda.

Background: Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation can improve the survival rate of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Teaching cardiopulmonary resuscitation in schools by teachers is one of the ways to increase the number of bystanders who can perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Nevertheless, there have been no studies on the readiness of teachers in Hong Kong to teach cardiopulmonary resuscitation in their schools. Objective: To assess whether secondary school teachers are prepared to teach their students cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Methods: This was a questionnaire survey. Teachers from 22 local secondary schools were recruited. The questionnaires were designed with questions covering their knowledge about cardiopulmonary resuscitation and attitudes towards teaching their students cardiopulmonary resuscitation. A knowledge score and attitude score were calculated. Result: 557 teachers completed the questionnaires. Most had never witnessed a cardiac arrest and over half of them had never been trained cardiopulmonary resuscitation or use of an automated defibrillator. About 25% of them answered all questions on knowledge wrong. Only 25% supported teaching cardiopulmonayr resuscitation in schools and 32% were willing to teach it. Legal liability was a major concern. Conclusion: Local teachers’ readiness for teaching students cardiopulmonary resuscitation in secondary schools is likely poor. More efforts are required to raise their knowledge level on cardiopulmonary resuscitation and instill a positive attitude towards cardiopulmonary resuscitation education in schools.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. OnBehalf Cardiopulmonar resuscitation working group of the Spanish Society of Cardiology Background First aid teaching is mandatory in Spanish schools, but there is a variability in how training is performed within different regions of the country. We aimed to study the degree of implementation of school cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training in Spain. Methods A nationwide cross-sectional survey was carried out from February to December 2019. A self-administered questionnaire was carried out aimed at school children. The association between school children characteristics (sex, age and previous CPR education training) and  CPR knowledge was evaluated. Results A total of 5892 valid school children surveys were collected. Regarding to school children, mean age was 14.67 years and  36,2% of them had received CPR training, with similar distribution by sex and with an increase in higher courses (28.7% &lt;13 years, 33.9% 13-16 years, 54.9% &gt;16 years; p = 0.002). At older all CPR  knowledge improves, except the telephone emergency  number. Comparing school children who had or not received previous CPR training, there was no difference in correctly identifying the emergency telephone number (p = 0.169) or OHCA (p = 0.05), but school children (32.4% vs 29%, p = 0.005) who have not received the training better recognize the telephone number. Conclusions the implementation of CPR training  programs is insufficient in spanish schools and they also do not work to remember the emergency number. Urgent action is required to improve the first link of the survival-chain by disseminating the emergency telephone number.

Knowledge And Attitude

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Pakistan has one of the most elevated death rates from road traffic accidents with an estimated 146,000 people died and 2.8 million injured per year. In number of emergency conditions, CPR is a significant life-sparing methodology in response to sudden heart failure accompanied by resuscitation, and fast defibrillation. Therefore, this study aims to explore the knowledge and attitude of rehab sciences students towards bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation. METHODOLOGY A cross-sectional survey conducted on 136 physiotherapy students recruited via convenience sampling technique. A self-administered questionnaire including questions regarding knowledge and attitude towards bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation were distributed via email or Google Docs to record participants’ responses. RESULTS A total number of 136 responses received from distributed questionnaires from participants with mean age of 22.34±3.92 with 109 (79.2%) females and 27 (19.9%) males. It was revealed that (83.1%) majority of students have understating regarding CPR whereas (62.7%) has taken the course due to mandatory work or graduation requirement (58.2%) while the main source of attained knowledge was teaching by medical personnel in school/university. Moreover, (84.3%) students had a positive attitude to learn and perform CPR training. CONCLUSION It was concluded that that majority of students have understanding regarding CPR and had a positive attitude to learn and perform the technique. However, the knowledge was found to be average therefore an accreditation program is recommended for an undergraduate curriculum. Moreover, further studies are recommended to be conduct in future to evaluate the knowledge gaps in medical education.
