Online published on 13 November, 2019. Abstract Cardiac arrest is a cardiovascular emergency which is the highest cause of death in the world, both in developing and developed countries. The occurrence of Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) is commonly encountered by lay people. Therefore, everyone actually has an important role in increasing the survival rate of cardiac arrest patients, especially in the implementation of CPR. One way to improve the ability of lay people to do CPR is to use the learning method of self-directed video. However, several studies have suggested that the self-directed video media is less effective than ordinary knowledge improvement methods. In this regard, the researcher conducted this study with the aim to identify the effects of selfdirected video on volunteer knowledge in conducting CPR. This study used a queasy experiment design with a pretest-posttest approach. Knowledge was measured at pre-intervention, immediate post-intervention, 1-week post-intervention, and 2-week post-intervention using questionnaires. Data were analyzed using Friedman and Wilcoxon tests. The results showed a change in knowledge between pre-intervention and immediate post-intervention, between pre-intervention and 1-week post-intervention, and between pre intervention and 2-week post-intervention (p=0.001). Thus, self-directed videos are considered able to improve volunteer knowledge in conducting CPR. Top Keywords Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation knowledge, Self-Directed Video, Volunteer. Top |
