Evaluation of repetitive learning effectiveness in school age about cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Abstract

A lifesaving introductory course (hereinafter referred to as introductory course) was newly established as a measure to promote the spread of first aid allowance, but there has been no research to investigate its effect on the maintenance of knowledge and technology, and the presentation of appropriate intervals for retraining absent. This time, we examined whether the introductory course attendance at school age would be beneficial if you took the first aid course again later along with the attendance interval. The subjects were first-year junior high school students (296 students) who attended a lifesaving class I, group A (95 students) who had attended an introductory course at the 6th grade, and group B (72 students) who had attended an introductory course at the 5th grade. The group A and B and the group N (129 students) with no history of attendance were divided into 3 groups, and 5 items of cardiopulmonary resuscitation were scored and compared in each group. In group A, the total score and four items of the chest compression technique were higher than the other groups (p<0.05). Introductory course attendance at school age is beneficial for re-enrollment of ordinary lifesaving class I for junior high school students. Furthermore, attendance at 6th grade is highly effective for maintaining knowledge and skills.
