Literature indicates that patients who receive cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillator (AED) from bystanders have a greater chance of surviving out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). A few evaluative studies involving CPR/AED education programs for rural adolescents have been initiated. This study aimed to examine the impact of a 50 min education program that combined CPR with AED training in two rural campuses. A quasi-experimental pre-post design was used. The 50 min CPR/AED training and individual performance using a Resusci Anne manikin was implemented with seventh grade students between August and December 2018. A total of 336 participants were included in this study. The findings indicated that the 50 min CPR/AED education program significantly improved participant knowledge of emergency responses ( < 0.001), correct actions at home ( < 0.01) and outside ( < 0.001) during an emergency, and willingness to perform CPR if necessary ( < 0.001). Many participants described that "I felt more confident to perform CPR/AED," and that "It reduces my anxiety and saves the valuable rescue time." The brief education program significantly improved the immediate knowledge of cardiac emergency in participants and empowered them to act as first responders when they witnessed someone experiencing a cardiac arrest. Further studies should consider the study design and explore the effectiveness of such brief programs.
文献表明，接受旁观者心肺复苏（CPR）和自动体外除颤器（AED）的患者在院外心脏骤停（OHCA）中幸存的机会更大。已经启动了一些针对农村青少年 CPR/AED 教育计划的评估研究。本研究旨在检验在两个农村校区将 CPR 与 AED 培训相结合的 50 分钟教育计划的效果。采用准实验前后设计。2018 年 8 月至 12 月期间，对 7 年级学生实施了 50 分钟的 CPR/AED 培训和使用 Resusci Anne 人体模型的个人表现。共有 336 名参与者参加了这项研究。结果表明，50 分钟的 CPR/AED 教育计划显著提高了参与者对紧急情况的反应（<0.001）、在家中（<0.01）和外出时（<0.001）正确行动的知识，以及在必要时进行 CPR 的意愿（<0.001）。许多参与者表示：“我感到更有信心进行 CPR/AED”，并且“这减轻了我的焦虑并节省了宝贵的救援时间。”简短的教育计划显著提高了参与者对心脏紧急情况的即时认识，并使他们有能力在目睹有人经历心脏骤停时充当第一反应者。应进一步研究考虑研究设计，并探讨此类简短计划的有效性。
