Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
All participants will complete a one off, face-to-face group training session in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) using a self-instructional video (SIV) training kit which includes: a reusable, inflatable manikin and an instructional DVD. This will be run as part of the education sessions offered in the cardiac rehabilitation program.
- the training component, using the SIV kit runs for around 30 minutes
- post training research assessments (paper based survey, skill assessment) will then be conducted
- all participants will be given a SIV kit to use, which they can then take home to share with others
- the training session will be facilitated by one of the study investigators (SC) who is also a cardiac nurse and trained CPR instructor

Participants will be contacted one month post training via telephone to assess if they have used the kit once at home to a) review the training themselves or b) share the kit and train others

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
Categorical variables will be described using proportions and compared using the chi-squared statistic. Continuous variables will be presented as mean with standard deviation or median with interquartile range as appropriate. When comparing a continuous outcome over three study time points the Friedman test will be used. Post-hoc testing will then conducted using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test to assess at which time points the significant differences occurred. Effect size was calculated using z scores and dividing z by the square root of the number of cases. Statistical analyses will be performed with SPSS v24 (Armonk, NY: IBM corp) and p values <0.05 will be considered statistically significant.
