About this study
This study aims to evaluate the change in attitudes and knowledge about basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR-B) in football professionals following a training intervention and to examine its correlation with sociodemographic variables.
The study consists of two phases. The first phase involves an observational cross-sectional study to assess the level of attitude and knowledge in cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The second phase includes an educational intervention consisting of a training and practical session on CPR-B, with a pre-post intra-subject control. The questionnaire was completed by football professionals from the Spanish first division and their coaches, with N=206 in the first phase and N=70 30 days after the training intervention in the second phase.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
PCR TrainningOther
A two-hour training intervention was conducted by a CPR-B instructor. The first 30 minutes were dedicated to explaining how to recognize a cardiopulmonary arrest, the correct technique for chest compressions, ventilations, and AED use. The remaining 90 minutes were for practical application of the intervention. This was conducted with five CPR-B training torsos (Little Anne QCPR training mannequin, Laerdal) and a simulated AED for CPR training (AED Practi-Trainer - Bilingual, WNL). Both theoretical and practical training were provided by a basic life support instructor from the Spanish Society of Intensive Care Medicine and Coronary Units (SEMICYUC), instructing participants under the 2021 European Resuscitation Council (ERC) recommendations.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Evaluate the change in attitudes and knowledge about CPR-B
The goal is to evaluate the change in attitudes and knowledge about CPR-B in football professionals following a training intervention and to examine its correlation with sociodemographic variables. Validated questionnaires were used to assess the attitude towards helping others in CPR-B for both lay first responders and healthcare professionals(19) and those by Chein and Oteir to assess CPR-B knowledge(20-21). Additionally, some questions about CPR knowledge, based on the CPR knowledge questionnaire by Pivač and his team(19), were added and validated by an expert committee to check their relevance. The resulting questionnaire, comprising 48 items, was analyzed before and after the intervention, and statistical analysis was conducted on the sociodemographic variables (gender, education level, role of participants).
Measured: One month
