Abstract
Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases increase mortality and disability, decrease quality of life, and impose heavy costs along with many social problems. When a heart attack occurs, performing life-saving first aid is considered the only effective action until the emergency medical team arrives. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of teaching basic life-saving measures for adults on the knowledge and performance of general education learners in Sabzevar city in 2023.
Materials and Methods: This semi-experimental research was conducted by sampling 125 citizens of Sabzevar using a stratified random method. The awareness and performance of the participants were measured before, immediately after, and two months after the training using a questionnaire and a researcher's checklist based on the latest guidelines from the American Heart Association.
Results: The results of the research showed a significant relationship between the level of awareness and the performance of the participants in public education, before and after the intervention. The average knowledge and performance scores of the research samples decreased slightly two months after the intervention, which was statistically significant (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Despite a significant decrease in awareness scores two months post-intervention compared to post-intervention awareness scores, teaching basic life support measures for adults can positively affect the awareness and performance of general education learners. Periodic repetition of the training is recommended.
