Abstract

Introduction: The performance of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) improves survival among cardiac arrest victims. Near-peer teaching of Basic Life Support (BLS) may be an effective way to deliver resuscitation education. This article aims to assess the effectiveness of a student pharmacist-led American Heart Association (AHA) BLS course on high school students' knowledge and skill achievement. Methods: Student pharmacists were trained as AHA instructors and delivered BLS certification courses to high school students. Participants completed pre- and post-assessments adapted from the course learning objectives. Skills performance was evaluated using the AHA's standardized forms. Participants completed questions regarding their perceptions of the pharmacist's role in BLS and confidence in pursuing a career in healthcare. Results: There were 321 participants with the majority in 11th or 12th grade (86.6%) and attending public school (99.1%). After completing the training, the mean percentage of correct assessment responses increased from 41.2% to 89% (p <0.0001). All participants correctly performed BLS skills. Most participants strongly agreed or agreed that the course changed their perspective of the pharmacist's role during BLS (74.8%) and increased their confidence in their decision to pursue future careers in healthcare (61.7%). Conclusion: Student pharmacist-led BLS training, using near-peer delivery, improves high school students' knowledge and skill achievement. This strategy promotes high school students' positive perceptions regarding pharmacists and their role in BLS, as well as their confidence in pursuing careers in healthcare.

学生药剂师主导的高中生基本生命支持培训提高了知识和技能的成就感。
简介:旁观者心肺复苏(CPR)可提高心脏骤停患者的存活率:旁观者进行心肺复苏(CPR)可提高心脏骤停患者的存活率。近距离教授基本生命支持 (BLS) 可能是提供复苏教育的有效方法。本文旨在评估由学生药剂师主导的美国心脏协会 (AHA) BLS 课程对高中生知识和技能掌握程度的影响。方法:学生药剂师接受了美国心脏协会讲师的培训,并为高中生讲授 BLS 认证课程。学员完成根据课程学习目标改编的课前和课后评估。使用 AHA 的标准表格对技能表现进行评估。学员们还填写了有关他们对药剂师在 BLS 中的作用的看法以及对从事医疗保健职业的信心的问题。结果:共有 321 名学员参加了培训,其中大部分为 11 或 12 年级学生(86.6%),就读于公立学校(99.1%)。完成培训后,评估回答的平均正确率从 41.2% 提高到了 89%(p 结论:学生药剂师主导的 BLS 培训对他们的职业发展具有重要意义:以学生药剂师为主导的 BLS 培训采用近似同伴授课的方式,提高了高中生的知识和技能水平。这一策略促进了高中生对药剂师及其在 BLS 中作用的积极看法,并增强了他们从事医疗保健职业的信心。
