Resuscitation Plus · Added 27 July 2026

Study on: Strengthening workplace emergency preparedness through a university CPR and first aid responder programme: four-year experience. No abstract available for detailed assessment.

Study type

Cross-sectional

Design

Four-year programme evaluation with feedback questionnaire

Participants

84 workplace first aid responder respondents

Main finding

High self-reported confidence in CPR (mean 5.11 ± 1.00) and AED use (5.22 ± 0.98); 23.8% and 35.7% encountered workplace and non-workplace emergencies respectively, and all provided assistance

Caveat

Self-reported perceptions from a single university setting; small sample, no objective performance data

Bottom line

Context only

Learning goal

Build my understanding of how community responder training shapes bystander CPR and defibrillation readiness.
