Abstract
-
PURPOSE: This study was done to determine the effect of CPR training for lay trainees on their knowledge and attitudes.
METHOD: This was a nonequivalent control group nonsynchronized design. The participants were 60 lay trainees who were conveniently assigned to an experimental or control group. The data were collected from July 1 to September 8, 2004 and analyzed using chi-square-test, t-test and ANCOVA.
RESULTS
The 1st hypothesis, "Posttest CPR knowledge scores for the experimental group will be higher than scores for the control group" was supported (F=59.44, p=0.001). The 2nd hypothesis, "Posttest CPR attitude scores for the experimental group will be higher than scores for the control group" was supported (F=29.94, p=0.001).
CONCLUSION
This CPR training was effective in increasing the levels of knowledge and attitude for the lay CPR trainees.
