Effects of native language on CPR skills and willingness to intervene in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest after film-based basic life support training: a subgroup analysis of a randomised trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The aim was to investigate whether the students' native language, Swedish as native language (SNL) versus other native language (ONL), affects cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills or willingness to act after film-based training in Swedish.

Setting

13-year-old students in two municipalities.

Design

A subgroup from a previous randomised study was analysed. During 2013 to 2014, a film-based CPR method was evaluated. Practical skills and willingness to act were assessed directly after training and after 6 months. CPR skills were evaluated using a modified Cardiff test.

Participants

A total of 641 students were included in the analysis (SNL, n=499; ONL, n=142).

Primary and secondary outcome measures

Primary endpoint was the total score of the
