About this trial

The goal of this prospective trial is to compare CPR skill and attitudes in lay rescuers. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

* What is the optimal training timing, duration, and frequency for lay rescuers that leads to CPR skill retention? * What is the impact of CPR manikin type (high-fidelity, inflatable, nontraditional objects) on skill retention? * How do specific features of training modality -- such as contextualization, gamification, and emotional engagement -- impact skill proficiency, knowledge retention, and attitudes about CPR?

Participants will

* Answer pre-training questionnaires * Participate in CPR training * Participate in CPR skills testing * Answer post-training questionnaires

Researchers will compare different methods of training, different frequencies of training, and different manikin types.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

CPR Skill Retention

High-quality CPR as measured by compression rate (per minute), depth (inches), and correct hand placement. High-quality CPR is defined as correct rate (100-120/min) AND \>70% of compressions at appropriate depth (2-2.4inches) with appropriate hand placement.

Time frame
1-4 years

Secondary outcomes

1

CPR Attitudes

Participant confidence and intention to perform CPR, measured using Likert-scale items and validated engagement questionnaires.

Time frame
1-4 years
2

CPR Knowledge Retention

Percentage of correct answers on a standardized multiple-choice test assessing CPR knowledge and AED use.

Time frame
1-4 years
3

Emotional Profile

Emotional responses captured by the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), measuring affective realism and readiness.

Time frame
1-4 years
4

Learner Engagement

Subjective engagement and perceived relevance of CPR training, measured via Likert scales and the Narrative Engagement Scale.

Time frame
1-4 years

Other outcomes

1

Training Feature Effects (Contextualization, Gamification, Emotional Impact)

Exploratory outcome assessing how specific training design elements influence CPR skills, knowledge, and self-efficacy through mediation and regression analyses.

Time frame
1-4 years
