Background: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a critical life-saving procedure performed on individuals who are
unresponsive, not breathing normally, and lack a pulse. Its primary goal is to manually maintain brain function until more
advanced medical interventions can be applied to restore blood circulation and breathing in cases of cardiac arrest. CPR
involves combining rescue breathing (mouth-to-mouth) with chest compressions, typically at a depth of 5 centimeters and
a rate of 100 compressions per minute. This method aims to artificially circulate blood to the heart and brain to delay tissue
damage and provide a brief window for successful resuscitation without permanent brain injury. CPR is continued until
circulation returns or until the person is declared deceased or emergency. The American Heart Association uses the acronym
C-A-B to help remember the correct sequence for performing CPR. The first step, Compressions, involves pushing hard and
fast on the person’s chest. This step is crucial for CPR. To perform compressions correctly, use your hands to push down firmly
and quickly on the chest. Rescue breathing, which can be done via mouth-to-mouth or mouth-to-nose if the mouth is injured
or inaccessible, is also recommended. For better protection, using a bag-mask device with a high-efficiency particulate air
(HEPA) filter is advised for rescue breaths.
Objective
1. To assess the knowledge before and after administration of video assisted teaching programme regarding knowledge on
adult cardiopulmonary resuscitation among school teachers of selected schools of Kheda district.
2. To assess the practice before and after administration of video assisted teaching programme regarding knowledge on
adult cardiopulmonary resuscitation among school teachers of selected schools of Kheda district.
3. To find out the associtation of pre-test knowledge and practice score of school teacher on adult cardio-pulmonary
resuscitation with their selected demographic variable.
4. To evaluate the effectiveness of video assisted teaching programme on knowledge regarding adult cardiopulmonary
resuscitation among school teachers of selected schools of Kheda district.
5. To evaluate the practice regarding adult cardiopulmonary resuscitation after administration of video assisted teaching
programme among school teachers of selected schools of Kheda district.
Methodology: The quasi experimental research design is used for this study. The study was conducted on 60 school teachers
from selected schools of Kheda district by non-randomize sampling technique. A knowledge questionnaire tool and practice
checklist was used for data collection.
Results: In this study total 60 samples in result experimental pretest knowledge score inadequate 18 (60%), moderate 12
(40%), and adequate 0 (0%) and posttest knowledge score is good 8(26.5%), adequate 22(73.3%) inadequate 0 (0%). Pretest
practice score poor 5(16.7%), average 25 (83.3%) and good 0 (0%). Posttest practice score average 13(43.3%), good 17(56.7%)
and poor 0(0%). Control group pretest knowledge score inadequate 29(96.7%), moderate 3(3.3%), & posttest knowledge
score 26(86.7%), moderate 3(10%), adequate 22(73.3%). Pretest practice score good 8(26.7%), average 22(73.3%) and
posttest practice score poor 3(10%), average 25(83.3%), good 2 (6.7%).
Conclusion: The result of present study to show that video assisted teaching programme on adult CPR has positive impact,
school teachers have good knowledge and poor practice. the study highlights the disparity between knowledge and practice
regarding adult CPR among school teachers. Although the majority adequate knowledge and poor practice. This emphasizes
the need for targeted educational interventions to improve understanding toward adult CPR.
