Abstract

Purpose: In order to elucidate the effects of BLS (Basic Life Support) education for primary students, we analyzed data collected using a questionnaire on attitude toward CPR. Methods: Students were divided into two groups, the experimental group with BLS education and the control group without BLS education. Data was collected after BLS education for the experimental group. While they were learning BLS, the control group completed the questionnaire. Results: There were significant statistical differences in the total score of students' attitudes. The students in the experimental group indicated a more positive attitude toward CPR than the others. Conclusion: This study showed that BLS education had a positive influence on elementary students' attitudes toward CPR. We expect that the result will contribute to the spread of CPR and the reduction of mortality.
