Abstract

Abstract

Introduction: Teaching Basic Life Support (BLS) to laypeople is essential in reducing mortality rates of victims of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), with children and adolescents being important targets of this training. Despite its relevance, BLS has not yet been incorporated into school education. Objectives: Analyze prior knowledge and apprehension about BLS after training through Distance Learning, categorizing students immediate evolution. Methods: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study carried out with 268 students between the seventh year of elementary school and the third year of high school in public and private schools. Online meetings were organized, where students answered a questionnaire about BLS and then three video classes were given on this topic. Finally, they immediately responded to a questionnaire. Results: Overall, the average number of correct answers in the post-test was significantly higher compared to the pre-test, being, respectively, 8.13 (95%CI 7.91 to 8.35) and 10.35 (95%CI 10.12 to 10.58), p < 0.001. In relation to evolution, the majority of students achieved positive evolution (50.7%); 28.4% positive evolution with setback; 13.4% no evolution or random response; and only 7.5% negative evolution. Conclusions: After the training, the majority of students showed an increase in their knowledge about BLS, which can be evidenced by the increase in the median number of correct answers and above all by the percentage distribution of the evolution categories.
