| description | Aim: To assess the learning impact of a virtual interactive CPR webinar for seniors through mix-methods quantitative and qualitative survey analysis. Methods: We surveyed 350 webinar attendees. The webinar trained participants in hands-only CPR technique and AED use. Survey questions included multiple-choice selection and open-ended responses. Qualitative inductive thematic analysis was conducted on open-ended question responses. Knowledge of CPR was measured on a 3-point scale (very little knowledge, some knowledge, a lot of knowledge). Proportions were compared pre and post seminar using a z-test. Results: 231 respondents ≥ 65 years participated in the survey (response rate 66.0 %). There was a significant increase in self-reported knowledge of CPR pre and post webinar (very little knowledge 33.9 % to 1.8 % P < 0.00001, some knowledge 54.2 % to 12.1 % P < 0.0001, a lot of knowledge 11.9 % to 86.1 % P < 0.0001). We found 5 main themes on participant feedback: Positive affective comments, learning, constructive criticism, the desire to share information and comments on CPR ability. We identified 4 main themes related to further questions: Performing CPR in different circumstances, risks of CPR, information sharing, and prevention of death from myocardial infarction. Following the webinar, 89.9 % of respondents chose that they would be very likely to perform CPR on a friend, family member or colleague. Conclusion: This study highlights the success of virtual CPR webinars for senior citizens in improving self-reported CPR knowledge. This has potential to address barriers to online education for seniors and increase bystander CPR rates. |
