Gamified CPR Training for Cardiac Arrest
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The goal of this prospective trial is to compare CPR skill and attitudes in lay rescuers. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:* What is the optimal training timing, duration, and frequency for lay rescuers that leads to CPR skill retention?* What is the impact of CPR manikin type (high-fidelity, inflatable, nontraditional objects) on skill retention?* How do specific features of training modality -- such as contextualization, gamification, and emotional engagement -- impact skill proficiency, knowledge retention, and attitudes about CPR?Participants will* Answer pre-training questionnaires* Participate in CPR training* Participate in CPR skills testing* Answer post-training questionnairesResearchers will compare different methods of training, different frequencies of training, and different manikin types.
Do I have to stop taking my current medications for this trial?
The trial protocol does not specify whether participants need to stop taking their current medications. However, since the trial involves CPR training for students, it is unlikely that medication changes are required.
Is Gamified CPR Training safe for humans?
How is Gamified CPR Training different from other CPR training methods?
What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment Gamified CPR Training for Cardiac Arrest?
Research shows that using a 3D CPR game significantly improves CPR skill retention compared to traditional methods, and gamification in CPR training leads to better learning outcomes in students. These findings suggest that gamified CPR training can effectively enhance CPR skills and knowledge retention.145910

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This clinical trial is for 8th and 9th grade students enrolled in Health Class at participating schools. It's not for those who've had previous CPR training (though they can still learn CPR), or if the student or parent opts out, or if there's a physical injury preventing them from performing CPR.Inclusion Criteria
