ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME
This randomized controlled trial (RCT) aimed to exam the CPR performance, attitude toward to CPR, and intention to perform CPR in three teaching methods, including traditional face-to-face, hybrid, and VR methods. Participants underwent a pre-test before CPR education course and two post-tests after CPR education course. There was 1 month interval between 2 post-tests that were held, comprising an attitude questionnaire, knowledge examination, skill examination, and self-reflective feedback about the length of interval between each renewal session. The attitude questionnaire comprised 12 questions measuring the participants’ attitude toward CPR and intention to perform CPR. The knowledge examination included 15 multiple choice questions on topics ranging from basic cardiac physiology, and acute coronary syndrome to CPR and automated external defibrillator (AED) procedures. The CPR skill examination measured the accuracy of CPR and AED steps and CPR performance, including depth, speed, chest recoil, and discontinue time of chest compressions. To be more accurate and consist measure CPR performance, the present study used a RESUSCI ANNE QCPR ® manikin with motor sensor and combined with its software to collect CPR performance data of each session of chest compression.
