What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
BLS training programBehavioural
BLS training program was in accordance with the 2020 AHA cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines. The BLS training program adopts 4D teaching techniques, namely description (Describe), demonstration (Demo), implementation (Do), feedback (Debriefing).
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Experimental arm | Experimental | Geriatric-specific BLS training program Receives: Behavioral: BLS training program |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Changes to the BLS Knowledge Questionnaire
The BLS knowledge assessment consisted of 10 questions with structured "yes" or "no" answers and was based on expert consensus from the AHA (AHA, 2020). Scores were calculated based on the number of correct answers given, with higher scores indicating a greater understanding of BLS.
Measured: Completion by study, average 60 minutes.
Changes to the BLS attitude Questionnaire
The BLS attitude questionnaire contained five statements with five-point Likert-type scale responses ranging from "strongly agree" to "strongly disagree." Positive attitudinal answers awarded higher scores.
Measured: Completion by study, average 60 minutes.
The observable BLS skill checklist
The observable BLS skill checklist included ten steps related to BLS practices, such as assessing responsiveness, calling for help, and using an AED. The researcher completed the checklist and rated each step on a 2-point scale, with higher scores indicating better BLS practices.
Measured: Completion by study, average 60 minutes.
