Evaluation of the effectiveness of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automatic ex-ternal defibrillator training for freshmen in a normal university in Fujian
Objective To understand the awareness of first aid knowledge of freshmen in Fujian Normal University before and after cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automatic external defibrillator(AED)traditional mode training,evaluate the training effect,and provide ideas to carry out first aid education for students in normal colleges.Methods A total of 533 fresh-men of grade 2023 received traditional training of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and AED related knowledge(offline theoretical knowledge teaching+practical operation demonstration)by emergency doctors who passed the first aid training and obtained the first aid certificate.The students were assessed before and after the training,and the assessment results were analyzed.Re-sults The multivariate logistic analysis of the awareness rate of cardiopulmonary resuscitation related knowledge before training showed that the awareness rate of cardiopulmonary resuscitation of freshmen with postgraduate education was lower than that of undergraduates(P=0.01,OR=0.29),and the awareness rate of boys was lower than that of girls(P=0.008,OR=0.42).The awareness rate of cardiopulmonary resuscitation related knowledge of freshmen after training was 52.9%,higher than that before training(16.1%),and the awareness rate of AED related knowledge of freshmen after training was 84.2%,higher than that before training(31.9%),with statistically significant differences(all P<0.01).Conclusion The effect of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and traditional mode of AED training for normal university students is obvious.In order to better popularize the public first aid skills among college students,colleges and universities can explore various forms and rich content of first aid skills training based on the characteristics of different types of students and the traditional model training.
