Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a simulation-based cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) workshop in improving knowledge, practical skills, attitudes, and self-efficacy among university students at Eastern International University, Vietnam. Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survival rates in Vietnam remain low, partly due to limited bystander CPR and lack of AED use. University students, especially those outside healthcare fields, represent a large and accessible population who could serve as first responders in emergencies.

The workshop is designed according to the NLN Jeffries Simulation Framework and current American Heart Association guidelines. It includes instructor-led demonstrations, hands-on practice using manikins, scenario-based simulations, and structured debriefing. The training focuses on essential CPR steps, AED operation, and teamwork in emergency situations.

This randomized waitlist-controlled trial will assign participants to either an immediate training group or a waitlist control group who will receive the same training after the follow-up phase. Primary outcomes include improvements in CPR skills, measured through a standardized performance checklist. Secondary outcomes include knowledge, self-efficacy, and attitudes toward performing CPR. Assessments will be conducted before, immediately after, and three months after the intervention.

Findings from this study will provide empirical evidence on the impact of simulation-based CPR education for non-healthcare university students in Vietnam. The results could support integrating CPR workshops into university curricula and scaling up community-based emergency response training programs to increase bystander CPR rates and improve OHCA survival.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Simulation-Based CPR Workshop

A 4-hour, in-person simulation-based cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) workshop designed for non-healthcare university students, following American Heart Association 2020 guidelines and the NLN Jeffries Simulation Framework. The training includes: (1) pre-briefing on OHCA and CPR importance; (2) instructor-led demonstration using manikins; (3) guided hands-on practice with real-time feedback; (4) scenario-based simulation with assigned team roles; and (5) structured debriefing for reflection and feedback. Skills practiced include scene safety, assessing responsiveness, high-quality chest compressions, rescue breathing, AED use, and team communication. Trainer-to-student ratio is approximately 1:6.
