Effect of an Educational Intervention on CPR Knowledge and Skills in Schoolchildren
A study testing Intervention for Teaching the First Link in the Chain of Survival to 7- and 8-Year-Old Children in people with CPR and Cardiac Arrest (CA), run by Universidad Nacional de Colombia at 1 site in Colombia.

About this study
Official title: Effect of an Educational Intervention on CPR Knowledge and Skills in 7- and 8-Year-Old Schoolchildren: A Non-Randomized Controlled Trial
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a CPR intervention for children aged 7 and 8. Given the high prevalence of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) and the proven benefits of early CPR training, the study seeks to determine whether a structured intervention can improve young children's knowledge and skills in basic life support.
What is the effect of a CPR training intervention on the knowledge and skills of 7- and 8-year-old schoolchildren?
Read more
Cardiac arrest is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Research shows that survival rates increase significantly when CPR is performed promptly by a trained bystander. Countries with early CPR training programs in schools, such as Norway and Denmark, report better survival outcomes. However, in Latin America, CPR education in schools is still in its early stages. Evidence suggests that children can effectively learn and retain CPR knowledge, and they can serve as multipliers by passing their knowledge to family and peers.
Study Design:
This is a non-randomized, double-blind controlled trial with four phases:
Read the detailed description
Intervention Design - Developing an age-appropriate CPR training intervention based on educational and cognitive development theories.
Content Validation - Experts in child education and health professionals will assess the content and delivery methods.
Validation of Assessment Tools - Ensuring reliability in measuring children's CPR knowledge and skills.
Intervention Implementation and Evaluation - The intervention will be conducted in schools, with pre- and post-tests assessing knowledge and skills retention after 3 months.
Expected Outcomes:
Improved knowledge and skill levels in CPR among children who receive the intervention.
Validation of a structured educational approach for teaching CPR to young children.
Contribution to global evidence on CPR education and its potential impact in Bogotá schools.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Intervention for Teaching the First Link in the Chain of Survival to 7- and 8-Year-Old ChildrenOther
Unlike traditional CPR training programs designed primarily for older children or adults, this intervention is uniquely tailored for 7- and 8-year-old schoolchildren. It employs a narrative-based, age-appropriate educational approach that incorporates storytelling, interactive activities, and practical simulation exercises aligned with the cognitive and motor development of young learners. Delivered by school nurses in a classroom setting, the program not only focuses on teaching the first link in the chain of survival but also ensures that its content and methods are rigorously validated by experts. Moreover, the intervention includes a follow-up evaluation at three months to assess the retention of knowledge and skills, distinguishing it from other clinical studies that lack such long-term assessment.
Placebo Intervention - First Aid (Excluding Basic CPR)Other
In the control arm, participants receive a structured first aid educational program that intentionally excludes any training on the first link in the chain of survival. This intervention focuses on general first aid skills-such as wound care, management of minor injuries, and other non-cardiac emergency procedures-ensuring that no content related to recognizing a cardiac emergency or activating the emergency response system is provided. Delivered in a classroom setting by qualified personnel, the program is designed to mirror the overall structure, duration, and engagement level of the CPR intervention without overlapping its core content. Expert validation has been obtained to confirm that the curriculum remains neutral and strictly adheres to general first aid, thereby serving as a robust comparator to isolate the specific effects of CPR training in young schoolchildren.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Intervention Arm | Experimental | This group of students receives the structured educational program designed to teach the first link in the chain of survival, specifically tailored for their age. The intervention is delivered in the school setting and focuses on enhancing the knowledge and practical CPR skills of 7- and 8-year-old children. Receives: Other: Intervention for Teaching the First Link in the Chain of Survival to 7- and 8-Year-Old Children |
| Control Arm | Placebo comparator | This group does not receive the CPR educational intervention during the study period but will receive a first aid intervention that does not include teaching the first link in the chain of survival. This group serves as a reference to compare and evaluate the effectiveness of the program implemented in the intervention group. Receives: Other: Placebo Intervention - First Aid (Excluding Basic CPR) |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in knowledge and practical skills in basic CPR-specifically, the first link in the chain of survival
The primary outcome measure for this study is the change in knowledge and practical skills in basic CPR-specifically, the first link in the chain of survival-among 7- and 8-year-old schoolchildren. This will be assessed through a structured pre- and post-intervention questionnaire that evaluates theoretical understanding of CPR and an observational checklist used during simulated scenarios to gauge practical skill execution.
Measured: 3 moths

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a CPR intervention for children aged 7 and 8. Given the high prevalence of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) and the proven benefits of early CPR training, the study seeks to determine whether a structured intervention can improve young children's knowledge and skills in basic life support.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Intervention for Teaching the First Link in the Chain of Survival to 7- and 8-Year-Old Children in people with CPR and Cardiac Arrest (CA), run by Universidad Nacional de Colombia at 1 site in Colombia.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Apr 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Colombia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
