Abstract:
PURPOSE: CPR Anytime(R), a self-instructional video program, has gained popularity amongst CPR instructors for training non-healthcare providers. This instructional kit enables second-tier instruction. The purpose of this study is to determine the status of second-tier instruction CPR by CPR Anytime(R) trainees. METHODS: Questionnaires were sent to 606 CPR Anytime(R) trainees from 12 BLS training sites. The training period was from October 2006 to July 2007. Questionnaires included provider's basic information, post-course self exercise, amount of second-tier instruction, and multiplier status. RESULTS: The response rate of the questionnaire was 53.6%(325). The mean age was 20.4+/-10.3 years old. The professions of respondents were as follows: students (76.3%), office workers(13.2%), teachers(4.4%), and service providers(1.9%). The post-course self exercise rate was 49% with three fourths of those completing the exercises using both the DVD and MiniAnne(R). Second-tier instruction tools use rates(48%) were as follows: DVD and manikin(35%), manikin only(9%), verbal only(2%), and DVD only(1%). The total multiplier effect was 1.77(575/ 325) with the multiplier effect of teachers significantly higher than others. CONCLUSION: This study found that 48% of CPR Anytime(R) providers perform second-tier instruction to family and friends. Amongst them, the total multiplier effect was 1.77 (575/325).
