Knowledge and Skills on Hands Only Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Using Video vs Lecture Demo Training among Grade 11 Students at ABE International Business College, Senior High School, Caloocan City

Abstract:

Background: Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) has been identified as a single most effective first aid intervention that can be administered to an individual suffering from cardiac arrest. Objective: The study aimed to compare the difference between the Exclusive Video Instruction (EVI) on Hands – Only CPR and Lecture Demonstration (LD) on Hands-Only CPR in terms of its effect on the level of knowledge and skills of Grade 11 students in ABE International Business College, Caloocan City. Methods: This experimental study compared the difference between EVI on hands – only CPR and LD on hands- only CPR in terms of its effect on the level of knowledge and skills of Grade 11 students regarding the correct CPR administration. The respondents were randomly divided into three groups using a random number generator namely: Group A subjected to a LD of Hands-Only CPR, Group B exposed to an EVI of the Hands-Only CPR technique, and Group C, the control group, who were all required to accomplish a 24-item questionnaire about hands-only CPR and complete a return demonstration showing proper hands-only CPR techniques. After the interventions on Group A and B, they were given a post-test questionnaire and a return demonstration of the hands-only CPR. The collected data was compiled, assessed and checked for completeness, and analyzed. A grade of 70% in all 3 parts of the questionnaire, namely the knowledge, skills, and attitude parts, was required to pass. The results of the study were then further evaluated statistically using the chi-square. Results: Gender and age were not confounding factors to the learning and performance of proper hands-only CPR. It is shown in this study that prior training of CPR contributes to divergence in the knowledge and skills of respondents in comparison to those who had no such exposure. Respondents who received EVI had a higher level of knowledge compared to respondents who were exposed to LD. On the other hand, the respondents who received a LD fared better skills than respondents who received EVI only. All three groups showed a positive attitude in learning and performing hands-only CPR and in acquiring further knowledge on the topic in schools. Conclusion: The use of either intervention in disseminating future instructions and trainings on hands-only CPR will yield a similar outcome.
