Brief summary
The study aims to examine the effectiveness of a video-based CPR lesson plan to aid in classroom CPR video-based training delivered by existing school teachers in the Australian High Schools with a particular focus on students’ self-efficacy and ability to perform compression only CPR. The study will function as a pilot to establish the feasibility of classroom CPR training delivered by existing school teachers in the Australian High Schools. The study uses a prospective, non-randomised cohort design. It is hypothesised that the proposed video based lesson plan will be an effective and acceptable method of teaching school aged children CPR in an Australian practice context.

The study aims to examine the effectiveness of a video-based CPR lesson plan to aid in classroom CPR training delivered by existing school teachers in the Australian High Schools with a particular focus on students’ self-efficacy and ability to perform compression only CPR. What is involved for participants: a one off 45 minute face to face CPR teaching session in a normal classroom setting, delivered by their regular classroom teacher. This session will be taught being a web hosted interactive lesson plan consisting of 6 developed CPR training videos with pauses for practical classroom interaction. This session will be followed within 1 week by a face to face CPR skill assessment delivered in a classroom environment by research staff. The CPR skill assessment will involve a brief simulation based scenario assessment marked against a critical item checklist developed for this trial. A pre and post intervention survey will also be delivered to students. Teacher preparation: teachers delivering the intervention will be provided with face to face training on how to deliver the CPR training session within 4 weeks prior to the scheduled trial delivery. This training will be facilitated by the research staff responsible for developing the training resources. The anticipate duration of this training will be a single 90 minute session.
