Brief Summary

Prompt delivery of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a crucial determinant of survival for many victims of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), yet bystander CPR is provided in less than one third of witnessed SCA events. A number of barriers to bystander CPR training have been identified including time and cost of the training course. Since the large majority of arrest events occur in the home environment, studies have suggested that providing CPR training to family members of hospitalized cardiac patients may serve as a useful approach to address an environment in which bystander CPR is frequently not provided. Utilizing an existing in-hospital program to train adult family members, the investigators will assess the skills of those who learn CPR through two different education methods (video-only and video self-instruction (VSI) kit).

Conditions

Cardiovascular Risk Factors; Coronary Disease; Cardiac Arrest

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• CPR Skills Performance and Retention

  To assess skills performance and retention by trainees (family members and friends) taught using a video-only method or video self-instruction kit. To assess whether prompting or reminding subjects (family members and friends) might encourage the subjects to practice their CPR skills and improve skills at time of testing. Subjects skills will be tested at 6 and 12 months period of time.

  6 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Assessing CPR Training Proctors (Nurses or Volunteers)

  At 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months

• Assess prompting to encourage CPR skills retention

  up to 1 year

Study Arms (6)

Video Self-Instruction (VSI) kit

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Individuals will learn CPR using American Heart Association's Video Self-Instruction kit. Main data points being collected at various increments over 12 months are: 1) CPR quality at 6 to 12 months 2) Comfort Level using the skills they learned

Other: CPR Training using the Family and Friends CPR Anytime Video Self Instruction

Video-only

EXPERIMENTAL

Individuals will learn CPR skills using a Video training method. Main data points being collected at various increments over 12 months are: 1) CPR Skills at 6 to 12 months 2) Comfort Level with using CPR

Other: CPR Training using the Family and Friends CPR Anytime Video Self Instruction

Recruitment with Volunteers

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Volunteer subjects will be identified by hospital stakeholders, and they will be given surveys to assess their confidence, attitudes and beliefs towards this program at 3-month integrals.

Other: Implementation of a Hospital-based CPR Training Model

Recruitment with Nurses

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Nurse subjects will be identified by hospital stakeholders, and they will be given surveys to assess their confidence, attitudes and beliefs towards this program at 3-month integrals.

Other: Implementation of a Hospital-based CPR Training Model

Prompting to practice skills

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Individuals will be prompted every two months and encouraged to practice the skills that they learned. Main data points being collected at various increments over 12 months are: 1) Comfort Level with using CPR 2) CPR Skills at 6 to 12 months.

Other: Follow-up prompting to encourage skill retention

No prompting to practice skills

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Individuals will not be prompted to practice skills. Main data points being collected at various increments over 12 months are: 1) Comfort Level with using CPR 2) CPR Skills at 6 to 12 months.

Other: Follow-up prompting to encourage skill retention

Interventions

CPR Training using the Family and Friends CPR Anytime Video Self Instruction OTHER

Subjects will be trained using the American Heart Association's Family and Friends CPR Anytime Program. The subject's will undergo training in-hospital then they will be encouraged to take the training materials home with them to practice CPR with their family members and friends.

Video Self-Instruction (VSI) kit; Video-only

Implementation of a Hospital-based CPR Training Model OTHER

Nurses and Volunteers will be trained in the hospital-based CPR Training Model, and be encouraged to implement the training program in their respective hospitals.

Recruitment with Nurses; Recruitment with Volunteers

Follow-up prompting to encourage skill retention OTHER

Subjects will be contacted every two months and encouraged to practice the skills that they have learned. Means of contact include: a) email b) text blasts c) phone calls d) social media e) mail

No prompting to practice skills; Prompting to practice skills
