CPR knowledge, self-efficacy, and actual performance were evaluated at three time points, and generalized estimating equations were used for statistical analysis.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The intervention and control groups exhibited significant improvements over time in CPR knowledge, self-efficacy, overall CPR quality, and quality of compression, including depth, rate, and accuracy. However, a significant interaction effect between the groups and time was observed in the overall CPR quality, with the intervention group demonstrating more improvement than the control group over time.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>This study demonstrated the positive effects of tailored CPR training for older adults with visual impairment, underscoring the importance of developing tailored training that considers disability characteristics. The findings also emphasize that CPR training designed for laypeople can help address educational disparities among individuals with visual impairment.</p>","PeriodicalId":49300,"journal":{"name":"Disability and Health Journal","volume":" ","pages":"101909"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144295193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
