Abstract

Background: The lack ability of community to provide first aid to victims who experience cardiac arrest is due to their lack of knowledge and skills. Adolescent to adult age group has good potential to be involved in efforts to provide resuscitation for Out-of-Hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) cases.Purpose: To determine the effect of training adult laypeople in basic life support to enhance knowledge and confidenceMethod: A quasi-experimental study with 1 pre and post-test group with a total sample of 30 members of youth organizations taken with total sampling technique.Results: There was an increase in respondents' knowledge by an average of 58.89 from the initial knowledge with an average score of 30 (poor) to 88.89 (good). The results of statistical calculations using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test with a level of significance (α) 0.05 showed that calculated W value smaller than W table and the p value 0.000 smaller than α 0.05.  There was also an increase in respondents' self-confidence of performing BLS from an average of 43.67 (less confident) to an average of 88.00 (very confident) after BLS training. Calculated W value is smaller than W table and p value 0,000 smaller than α 0.05.Conclusion: BLS training has a significant effect on the knowledge and self-confidence level of respondents. There is an increase in the level of knowledge and confidence of respondents in the age group of adolescents and young adults to perform resuscitation after receiving BLS training.

Abstract

Background: Public Health Center (PHC) is one of the primary healthcare facilities that has an important role in the chain of survival of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients, especially in rural areas. Nurses are an important component of health workers in PHC. Basic Life Support (BLS) knowledgeis the basic component of building a qualified resuscitation.Purpose: To analyze the relationship between demographic characteristics of PHC’s nurses in a rural area and their knowledge about BLS.Method: An observational analytical study with a cross-sectional approach involved 32 PHC nurses with total sampling techniques. The data was analyzed with the Spearman Rho and Fisher Exact test.Results: 32 nurses were involved. Most respondents are male (18/56.25%), have a Diploma educational background (23/71.88%), and non-government employees (24/75%). The average age of respondents was 34.75 years, and the average worked for 9.25 years. The level of knowledge of BLS was mostly more than 56% (25/78.1%). The knowledge average was 74.06+ 8.93 with a median of 75 anda score range of 50-85. Gender, educational background, BLS certificate upgrades, and employment status were not related to the level of knowledge of BLS. Age and length of work variables have a significant correlation with knowledge. Calculated rs was -0.043 with a p-value of 0.008 (α 0.05) for age and rs value of -0.353 with a p-value of 0.024 (α 0.05) for length of work.Conclusion: Gender, educational background, BLS certificate upgrades, and employment status were not related to the level of knowledge of BLS.There is a sufficient and significant relationship between the age and length of workwith knowledge of BLS with the opposite direction of the relationship.The older and longer a nurseworks, the lowerthe nurse’s knowledge of BLS.  Routine BLS training sessions or emergency drills in PHC both online and offline can be some solution in partnership with emergency organizations and nearby referral hospitals.
