简要总结
Background: Cardiorespiratory arrest (CPA) occurs when there is a cessation of cardiac mechanical activity, typically diagnosed by the absence of consciousness, pulse, and breathing. Actions taken in response to CPA include recognizing the condition and promptly notifying emergency medical services, initiating Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) maneuvers, and employing an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). Survival rates are directly influenced by the time elapsed between CPA onset and the initiation of CPR maneuvers, as well as the quality of these interventions
Hypotheses: Online education in CPR maneuvers is an effective and efficient tool for training individuals from the general population on how to respond to cardiac arrests
Objectives: The primary aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of online CPR and AED training within the general population of the province of Tarragona. Specific objectives include: 1) evaluating participants' theoretical and practical CPR skills in the short and medium term following online training, and 2) exploring the experiences of individuals who have completed the online training and simulation sessions using qualitative methodology.
Methodology:This study will unfold in several phases: 1) Online CPR-AED training and assessment of theoretical knowledge acquisition; 2) Evaluation of acquired practical CPR skills (know-how) within a simulation environment, conducted on a subset of the population completing phase 1;3)Analysis of the experiences of a subset of individuals who have participated in the preceding two phases, employing qualitative methodology
Variables and determinations:The primary response variable for phase 1 will be the difference in scores obtained from the online questionnaire between the final (post-training) and initial (pre-training) assessments.
In phase 2, the main variable will be the pass/fail categorization of scores in the simulation. This evaluation will be conducted by two members of the Advanced Clinical Simulation Unit at Joan XXII Hospital using a predefined checklist. Throughout the various phases of the study, socio-demographic data and course performance data will be taken into account
Expected results: The research team for this study aims to ascertain the efficacy and effectiveness of online CPR-AED training within the general population. Furthermore, the study aims to provide evidence regarding the optimal duration and frequency for repeating such training.
Applicability and Relevance: This proposal advocates for a significant and innovative project, given the dearth of literature on this topic. While there are existing indications and studies on CPR-AED training among specific populations such as students and healthcare professionals, the presented proposal seeks to broaden the scope of training to encompass the general population.
详细描述
Study Development:
The recruitment period spans from June 2024 to June 2025. Individuals meeting the selection criteria will have access to the online training. Upon registration, they will be notified of the study's existence, and if they consent, their data may be analyzed in phase 1. Participants will also be informed about phase 2 and asked for their interest in participating. Those interested will need to provide contact information (telephone and/or email).
For phase 2, a random sample will be drawn from individuals expressing interest in the simulation. All participants in this phase will receive an information sheet and will be required to sign an informed consent form.
Phase 1: Online CPR and AED Training and Evaluation of Theoretical Skills
Participants will be administered a questionnaire on CPR-AED knowledge before and after completing the online training. This questionnaire, tailored specifically for the course, adheres to the recommendations of the Spanish Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Council. It comprises five questions in various formats (e.g., multiple-choice, sequencing actions). To obtain the training certificate, participants must answer all five questions correctly, with unlimited attempts permitted. The primary response variable for this phase will be the difference between the final score (on the first attempt) and the initial score. Additionally, the number of attempts made until achieving the maximum score (5) will be recorded as a variable

结局指标
主要结局
Difference between pre and post training scores in ad hoc designed scale
时间窗: 12 months
The scale used to measure the acquisition of knowledge through online theoretical training has been designed ad hoc for the present study, following the recommendations of the Spanish Council of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. It consists of 5 items. The scoring ranges from 0 to 5, with higher scores indicating greater knowledge.
Percentage of participants that reach or exceed 10 out of 12 on the checklist
时间窗: 14 months
Percentage of participants that pass the CPR-AED evaluation in a simulated environment. (phase 2)
次要结局
- Odds ratios (with 95% CI) for adjustment variables(24 months)
- Scores on the standard satisfaction questionnaire commonly used by the Catalan Health Institute to evaluate training activities(12 months)
