- W2923222784 abstract "BackgroundBystanders can initiate a chain of survival in emergency situations by recognising the situation, calling for help, and initiating basic life support (BLS) and first aid. The lay population of Gaza has had little if any access to systematic BLS and CPR training. This study aimed to find out whether medical students could act as instructors to train 3000 lay people in BLS and CPR.MethodsWe selected 82 medical students from Al Azhar University to train as BLS and CPR instructors. Student volunteers who were in their third, fifth, and sixth year of medical school were chosen based on sex (to achieve equal numbers of males and females) and geography (for approximately even geographical distribution). Their training included 12 hours of BLS and CPR skills and 4 hours of didactic instruction, with a view to delivering 1–2 hours of basic training for lay people. Students responded to a written questionnaire with details of their demographics, training experience, motivation, and expectations. Teaching materials and methods were based on the European Resuscitation Council guidelines and followed a similar training model as that at The Arctic University of Norway (UiT). The board of the Faculty of Medicine at Al Azhar University approved the training and the study.Findings82 medical students completed training (mean age 21·7 years [SD 1·25]; 54% [44 of 82] female, 46% [38 of 82] male). Following training, 87% of students (71 of 82) responded to the questionnaire and 76% (62 of 82) took part in training lay people. Of those who completed the questionnaire, five reported having lost family members during Israeli military operations in Gaza (the questionnaire section on demographics included the impact of warfare on the students' lives). Almost two-thirds (54 of 71) had no previous practical first aid training. 49 of 71 (69%) described a sense of belonging and duty to the community as their most important motivation, and 56 of 71 (79%) hoped that their training would contribute to increased capacity and skills in the community's response to emergencies, especially during attacks. 55 training sessions have been completed so far, involving 1222 lay participants, mostly school students (including students at vocational schools) aged 13–20 years (75%; 922 of 1222). 62 student instructors have been active, with a ratio of 5·4 lay trainees to each student instructor. Of the trainees, 45% were male (546 of 1222) and 55 % female (676 of 1222).InterpretationWe have shown that local medical students are willing and capable of being trained as volunteer instructors to teach BLS and CPR, targeting lay people in serious conditions. The effects of such training on local resilience and patient outcomes need further study.FundingThe Palestine Children Relief (PCRF) funded the travel expenses of the trainers and provided medical students with first aid kits." @default.
