Exploration of 'generational' peer-led CPR training in the Australian community using blended learning approaches: a pilot randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

A pilot randomised controlled trial to assess the feasibility and relative effectiveness of a community CPR train-the-trainer model using either a traditional face-to-face or blended learning approach (video supported face-to-face training with the provision of a multimodal 'CPR lesson card' containing visual prompts and a QR linked training video). A 'generational' recruitment strategy was used to evaluate knowledge degradation across a series of peer-led training episodes.

Methods

Participants (n = 155) were community volunteers aged 18-85 years with no recent CPR training. Groups were randomised to either face-to-face (control) or blended training (intervention) groups. The first participant in each stream (Generation one) received professional training and sub
