Description
Summary:Cardiac disorders are major global death causes, necessitating emergency measures in sudden cardiac arrests. Successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation, performed by medical team members, significantly reduces death rates from cardiac arrest, a growing concern across all age groups. The study evaluates the impact of hands-on basic life support (BLS) training program on final-year students' knowledge of BLS. A pre- and post-test study was conducted among 60 students at Saveetha College of Liberal Arts and Science. A convenient sampling technique was used to select the samples. The demographic variables were collected by using multiple-choice questionnaires. Results showed an effective level of knowledge and skill in BLS, indicating the need for further research. The study concludes that the level of knowledge and skill among final-year students of Saveetha College of Arts and Science was found to be effective in gaining knowledge regarding BLS in the post-test.
