Abstract
Background: Cardiac arrest mostly happens in out hospital setting. Bystander CPR improves survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.In 2018 BSMI Jakarta Raya started the Mosque lifesaver training as basic life support training for laypersons’ in Indonesia, optimizing mosques as the center of community activities. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of “mosque lifesaver training” for the laypersons’ knowledge and willingness to perform basic life support.Methods: There are 247 people from twelve mosques that participated in this research. The participants were given fifteen multiple-choice preposttest questioners in basic life support knowledge, one full day two-direction training, one-by-one practicing in small group for adult and pediatric CPR (Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation), and CPR skill test. Data was collected and statistically analyzed with SPSS 24 Software by IBM.Results and discussion: From 247 participants, 32 were excluded due to lack of data. For rest of 215 participants, 32.1% was housewife, mean value of age was 39.1 ± 0.9 SD years, educational background was bachelor in 44.7% participants. Mean value of pre-test and post-test were 28.70 ± 16.8 SD and 55.73 ± 19.30 SD, respectively. The post-test result has significant correlation of profession (p=0.003), but no significant correlation of age (p=0.08) and educational background (0.51). Marginal homogeneity test for pre and post test data brought p<0.001 significance. Before the training, only 57.2% participants had willingness to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation. After the training, 91.2% participants have willingness to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation if witness sudden cardiac arrest of unknown people.Conclusion: Participants who enrolled the training were predominantly by housewife, productive age with bachelor educational background. Mosque lifesaver training show significant improvement in laypersons’ knowledge and willingness to perform basic life support.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 05 No. 02 April’21 Page: 202-206
Highlights
Cardiac arrest mostly happens in out hospital setting
Demographic characteristics show despite having various educational experience, previous training and age, single-day basic life support training has significant impact in improving knowledge in lay rescuers in Indonesia
This singleday basic life support training method provides an opportunity to be developed as a standard teaching method to be applied in Indonesia
Summary
For out-of-hospital cardiac arrest victims, the key determinants of survival are the timely performance of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation for those in ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia. A minority of cardiac arrest victims receive potentially lifesaving bystander CPR, indicating room for improvement from a systems and educational point of view 1. Individuals with CPR training are more likely to deliver the lifesaving intervention to cardiac arrest victims. To maximizing the number of people with CPR training in a community, in 2018 BSMI Jakarta Raya started the Mosque lifesaver training as basic life support training for laypersons’ in Indonesia. Methods BSMI Jakarta Raya collaborated with mosque organizer conducted one day Mosque Lifesaver Training for the participants of twelve mosque in Indonesia. Almost all participants had never trained about Basic Life Support (BLS) before (97.7%)
