Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to assess variations in chest compression depth among Korean elementary school students based on grade, physical characteristics, and strength. Methods: The study involved 140 children in the third to sixth grades from elementary schools. Before providing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) education, we assessed height, weight, BMI, grip strength, and back strength. Subsequently, CPR education was administered, followed by individual measurements of compression depth. The factors related to compression depths was analyzed using t-test, ANOVA and multivariable regression. Results: The mean compression depth was consistently lower than the guideline standard across all grades, indicating grade-dependent differences (p = 0.000). Moreover, height, weight, BMI, grip strength and back strength increased, exhibited significant increases with grade (p = 0.000). In multivariable regression analysis, it was observed that as grade increased, chest compression depth increased by 0.701 cm (p = 0.000). Conclusion: School grade significantly influenced achieving the proper chest compressions depth, no notable correlation found for physical factors. Thus, a strategy emphasizing the importance of sufficient chest compressions during CPR education, particularly targeting elementary school students, seems necessary to encourage greater effort.

School children brief training to save foreign body airway obstruction. Eur J Pediatr 2023; 182:5483-5491. [PMID: 37777603 PMCID: PMC10746610 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-023-05202-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2023] [Revised: 08/31/2023] [Accepted: 09/09/2023] [Indexed: 10/02/2023]
Abstract
Foreign body airway obstruction (FBAO) is a relatively common emergency and a potential cause of sudden death both in children and older people; bystander immediate action will determine the victim's outcome. Although many school children's basic life support (BLS) training programs have been implemented in recent years, references to specific training on FBAO are lacking. Therefore, the aim was to assess FBAO-solving knowledge acquisition in 10-13-year-old school children. A quasi-experimental non-controlled simulation study was carried out on 564 ten-to-thirteen-year-old children from 5 schools in Galicia (Spain). Participants received a 60-min training led by their physical education teachers (5 min theory, 15 min demonstration by the teacher, and 30 min hands-on training) on how to help to solve an FBAO event. After the training session, the school children's skills were assessed in a standardized adult's progressive FBAO simulation scenario. The assessment was carried out by proficient researchers utilizing a comprehensive checklist specifically designed to address the variables involved in resolving a FBAO event according with current international guidelines. The assessment of school children's acquired knowledge during the simulated mild FBAO revealed that 62.2% of participants successfully identified the event and promptly encouraged the simulated patient to cough actively. When the obstruction progressed, its severity was recognized by 86.2% and back blows were administered, followed by abdominal thrusts by 90.4%. When the simulated victim became unconscious, 77.1% of children identified the situation and immediately called the emergency medical service and 81.1% initiated chest compressions. No significant differences in performance were detected according to participants' age. Conclusion: A brief focused training contributes to prepare 10-13-year-old school children to perform the recommended FBAO steps in a standardized simulated patient. We consider that FBAO should be included in BLS training programs for school children. What is Known: • Kids Save Lives strategy states that school children should learn basic life support (BLS) skills because of their potential role as first responders. • This BLS training does not include content for resolving a foreign body airway obstruction (FBAO). What is New: • Following a 60-min theoretical-practical training led by physical education teachers, 10-13-year-old school children are able to solve a simulated FBAO situation. • The inclusion of FBAO content in BLS training in schools should be considered.

The Knowledge, Attitudes, and Associated Factors Regarding First Aid Among the General Public in Saudi Arabia. Cureus 2023; 15:e41387. [PMID: 37546102 PMCID: PMC10401308 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.41387] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 06/22/2023] [Indexed: 08/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Accidents may occur at any time and in any location. Unintentional accidents may have life-threatening consequences. Anyone with basic first aid knowledge can assess the situation and intervene to provide proper care. This research aims to assess public knowledge and attitudes toward first aid and its related aspects in Saudi Arabia. METHODS A cross-sectional online survey was conducted between April and May 2023 to investigate first aid knowledge, attitude, and associated factors among the general public of Saudi Arabia. This study's population consisted of Saudi Arabians aged at least 18 who are part of the general community. This research adapted and used a previously developed questionnaire to evaluate the general public's knowledge, attitudes, and other characteristics about first aid in Saudi Arabia. A binary logistic regression analysis was utilized to determine the variables that influence their knowledge and attitude. RESULTS A total of 1135 participants were involved in this study. Almost one-third of the study participants (36.0%) reported that they had received training in first aid. The vast majority of the study participants (94.5%) reported that they had heard of first aid before. The media was the most commonly reported source of information on first aid (37.6%). Choking (63.2%), breathing difficulty (61.7%), and fainting (56.7%) were the most commonly reported indications (injuries or accidents) that need first aid. The mean knowledge score for the study participants was 4.4 (SD: 2.8) out of 8 (55.0%), which represents a moderate level of knowledge of first aid. The mean attitude score for the study participants was 22.5 (SD: 2.7) out of 28 (80.4%), which reflects a positive attitude toward first aid. Binary logistic regression analysis identified that women, those who have a higher education level, medical students, those with a high monthly income (7500 Saudi Arabian rials (SAR) and above), and those who work in the healthcare sector were more likely to be knowledgeable about first aid (p<0.05). Participants aged 31 to 40 years and university students were more likely to have a positive attitude toward first aid (p<0.05). CONCLUSION This research highlights the need to educate the public about first aid and emergency treatment. Even though one-third of participants have received first aid training, ongoing training is necessary. First aid information, especially on social media, is often unreliable. Choking, difficulty breathing, and syncope are typical first aid conditions, and awareness of dealing with choking is needed. Gender, socioeconomic status, and education influenced first aid knowledge and attitudes. Women, medical students, and healthcare workers knew more about first aid. Most participants supported first aid provision. This research strongly suggests improving awareness, providing inexpensive first-aid training, and targeting specific populations to improve first-aid knowledge and attitudes.

Study on the Attitudes and Knowledge of Teachers and Future Teachers about Immediate Health Care Measures at School. Eur J Investig Health Psychol Educ 2022; 12:854-869. [PMID: 35877462 PMCID: PMC9324608 DOI: 10.3390/ejihpe12070062] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2022] [Revised: 07/15/2022] [Accepted: 07/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The level and need for immediate health care measures training for teachers are of growing concern for two main reasons: on the one hand, these contents are part of the school curriculum and, on the other hand, teachers are the first adults to intervene in case of school injury. However, in Spain, first aid (FA) does not appear as obligatory content in the university training of teachers. The aim of the present study was to design and validate a questionnaire on the attitude of pre-school and primary school teachers towards first aid knowledge adapted to the school context and to analyze its psychometric properties. First of all, the psychometric values of the questionnaire were tested: through its validation and reliability. Subsequently, a correlation study was carried out as well as a logistic regression in order to know the knowledge and attitudes of teachers and future teachers about the importance of the Immediate Attention Measures at school. The sample consisted of 392 participants: active teachers (71%) and future teachers (29%, the latter being final year students) of the infant and primary stages from the northern, central and southern areas of Spain. The results show adequate psychometric values, establishing three factors: attitude towards general knowledge in FA and learning methodology; attitude towards wounds and CPR algorithm (most frequent and/or serious events); self-perception of knowledge or skill in FA. Pearson’s correlation test identified significant values (p < 0.01) and positive association between Factors 1 and 2 (r = 0.422) and between 1 and 3 (0.244). The conclusions of the results of the validation process of the questionnaire on the attitude of teachers and future teachers to knowledge for immediate health care measures training are valid and reliable to an acceptable degree. Regression study demonstrates the importance of including first aid training in teachers’ degrees.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To quantitatively assess the learning capacity of school children aged between 8-12 years in basic life support (theory and practice) after a feasible school training programme. MATERIAL AND METHODS Quasi-experimental study with a convenience sample of 567 pupils in 3rd and 5th year of Primary Education, and first year of Compulsory Secondary Education, from 3 public schools in Galicia. They received 2h (one theoretical and another practical) of basic life support training by their Physical Education teachers, as part of the school program. The children were evaluated by a theoretical test and a practical skill test that measured the quality of chest compressions, and assessed the performance of the basic life support sequence. RESULTS The level of knowledge increased with respect to the baseline, and was higher in the higher grades (P < .001). The complete basic life support sequence was carried out by 16.5% of pupils in the 3rd year of Primary Education, 54.4% of pupils in the 5th year of Primary Education, and 28.5% of pupils in the 1st year of Secondary Education (P = .030). The following compression quality parameters improved significantly with age: continuity of compressions (P < .001), percentage of compressions performed at correct depth (P = .002), and median depth (P < .001), while the percentage of compressions with correct decompression decreased significantly (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Although their anthropometric characteristics may not allow them to achieve the ideal quality of this manoeuvre, a 2h theoretical and practical training programme, taught by Physical Education teachers, helps to improve the ability of children younger than 13 years old to recognise the emergency, start the chain of survival, and initiate chest compressions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness of 4-month rolling-refreshers and annual retraining in basic life support (BLS) on a sample of schoolchildren. DESIGN Prospective longitudinal trial. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Four hundred and seventy-two schoolchildren (8-12 years old). INTERVENTIONS Schoolchildren were instructed in BLS and then split into the following three groups: control group (CG), standard group (SG) and rolling-refresher group (RRG). Their BLS skills were assessed within 1 week (T1) and 2 years later (T2). Moreover, CG did not receive any additional training; SG received one 50 min retraining session 1 year later; RRG participated in very brief (5 min) rolling-refreshers that were carried out every 4 months. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOMES Hands-on skills of BLS sequence and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. RESULTS BLS sequence performance was similar in all groups at T1, but SG and RRG followed the steps of the protocol in more proportion than CG at T2. When compared at T2, RRG showed higher proficiency than SG in checking safety, checking response, opening the airway and alerting emergency medical services. In addition, although the mean resuscitation quality was low in all groups, RRG participants reached a higher percentage of global quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CG: 16.4±24.1; SG: 25.3±28.8; RRG: 29.9%±29.4%), with a higher percentage of correct chest compressions by depth (CG: 3.9±11.8; SG: 10.8±22.7; RRG: 15.5±26.1 mm). CONCLUSIONS In 8-to-12-year-old schoolchildren, although annual 50 min retraining sessions help to maintain BLS performance, 4-month very brief rolling-refreshers were shown to be even more effective. Thus, we recommend implementing baseline BLS training at schools, with subsequently brief rolling-refreshers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Changes in infant morbidity require adaptations to preserve their proper development and academic performance. The objective of this study was to know the perceived needs of teachers, pediatricians and pediatric nurses regarding the training of schools to deal with emergences related to chronic pathology and accidents. METHOD Cross-sectional study using an ad hoc validated questionnaire on digital support (Google Forms) that included sociodemographic variables and a structured survey that collected information on chronic pathology, health care and safety in case of emergency in the school. RESULTS Data from 266 questionnaires (134 teachers, 132 pediatricians and pediatric nurses) were analyzed. 73.9% of the teachers stated that they have had students with chronic pathology during the last year and 45.5% confirmed the existence of protocols for their assistance, although 68.7% did not receive specific training for their care. 25% of pediatricians and nurses stated that the parents of children with chronic disease always notify the schools and 17.4% stated that they knew about the existence of specific protocols. 35.6% collaborated in training related to specific pathology or emergencies in schools, with a greater predominance of primary health care (P<.001). 50.7% of the pediatricians and 79.7% of the nurses stated as a medium-high priority the need to have a school nurse in the centers. CONCLUSIONS The health care of students with chronic diseases in schools can be improved for teachers, pediatricians and pediatric nurses, considering the figure of school nurse as the main improvement measure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to compare traditional basic life support (BLS) education with specific and innovative educative didactic material that has been previously designed and validated. METHODS Fifteen classes of schoolchildren aged 5 to 8 years (n = 237) were randomly assigned to 4 groups in which different didactic and complementary materials were used: (1) the Rescube tool with a cuddly toy (n = 61), (2) the Endless Book tool with a cuddly toy (n = 74), (3) traditional teaching with a cuddly toy (n = 46), and (4) traditional teaching with a manikin (n = 55). The BLS sequence was assessed at baseline (T0). After that, children took part in a one-hour theory and practice session in their assigned training modality. BLS sequence was assessed again within one week (T1) and after one month (T2). RESULTS The 4 modalities were successful in improving children's skills when comparing T0 with both T1 and T2 (P < .05). At T2, more schoolchildren remembered the complete BLS sequence after using the Rescube (75%) compared with the number of schoolchildren who remember the complete BLS sequence after using the Endless Book (53%), a manikin (42%), or a cuddly toy (13%) (P < .05). A higher proportion of participants who used the Rescube correctly performed all the BLS steps analyzed compared with those who used only the manikin or a cuddly toy during the learning phase. The Endless Book was also more effective except for learning to check consciousness and breathing. CONCLUSION Better BLS learning and knowledge retention outcomes were achieved by using our specific and adapted didactic materials (Rescube and Endless Book). These new educational tools have the potential to substantially support BLS school education programs.

Teaching First Aid to Prospective Teachers as a Way to Promote Child Healthcare. Healthcare (Basel) 2021; 9:healthcare9040367. [PMID: 33806034 PMCID: PMC8064469 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare9040367] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2021] [Revised: 03/20/2021] [Accepted: 03/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
This article aimed to analyze, through a qualitative study (i.e., semi-structured interview), the opinions and knowledge of fourth-year future teachers at a Spanish public university (University of Granada) regarding training and the need for first aid (FA) at school. With a sample of 70 subjects in their last year of training, our conclusion is that although they are aware of the importance of first aid for their professional development, there is no such training in their careers, and thus they have great difficulty understanding how to react to emergency situations on the job.

Study in 8-12 year-old schoolchildren]. An Pediatr (Barc) 2020; 96:S1695-4033(20)30436-7. [PMID: 33162361 DOI: 10.1016/j.anpedi.2020.09.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2020] [Revised: 08/28/2020] [Accepted: 09/27/2020] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To quantitatively assess the learning capacity of school children aged between 8-12 years in basic life support (theory and practice) after a feasible school training programme. MATERIAL AND METHODS Quasi-experimental study with a convenience sample of 567 pupils in 3rd, 5th and 1st year of Primary Education, and Compulsory Secondary Education, respectively, from 3 public schools in Galicia. They received 2h (one theoretical and another practical) of basic life support training by their Physical Education teachers, as part of the school program. The children were evaluated by a theoretical test and a practical skill test that measured the quality of chest compressions, and assessed the performance of the basic life support sequence. RESULTS The level of knowledge increased with respect to the baseline, and was higher in the higher grades (P<.001). The complete basic life support sequence was carried out by 16.5% of pupils in the 3rd year of Primary Education, 54.4% of pupils in the 5th year of Primary Education, and 28.5% of pupils in the 1st year of Secondary Education (P=.030). The following compression quality parameters improved significantly with age: continuity of compressions (P<.001), percentage of compressions performed at correct depth (P=.002), and median depth (P<.001), while the percentage of compressions with correct decompression decreased significantly (P<.001). CONCLUSIONS Although their anthropometric characteristics may not allow them to achieve the ideal quality of this manoeuvre, a 2-h theoretical and practical training programme, taught by Physical Education teachers, helps to improve the ability of children younger than 13 years-old to recognise the emergency, start the chain of survival, and initiate chest compressions.
