Subclaims¶

q3 i? Only one of the 14 included studies reported a lack of significant effect on CPR knowledge and skill retention among adolescents post CPR training. → Zenani 2022 q3 i? The single null study measured self-efficacy for helping in cardiac arrest rather than CPR knowledge directly, and its comparison was not significant (p = 0.135). → Zenani 2022

Evidence¶

Zenani 2022¶

Zenani, N.E., Bello, B., Molekodi, M., & Useh, U., 2022, 'Effectiveness of school-based CPR training among adolescents to enhance knowledge and skills in CPR: A systematic review', Curationis 45(1), a2325. https://doi.org/10.4102/curationis.v45i1.2325

q3 · i? · review · r2

Review synthesis across the 14 included studies. The exception was an RCT whose nine-point standardised checklist measured self-efficacy via a 3-min scenario test; the review reports the study "could not measure a higher self-efficacy for helping in cardiac arrest" compared to control (p = 0.135).

"Only one study (Suss-Havemann et al. 2020) out of the 14 included studies reported a lack of significant effect on CPR knowledge and skill retention among adolescents post CPR training."

• School-based CPR training effectively promotes change in CPR knowledge and skills among adolescents — a broader claim this one bears on
• CPR knowledge and technical skills remained at a sufficient level at 6-month and 1-year follow-ups, with refresher courses recommended — related
