BACKGROUND A rapid emergency care intervention can prevent the cardiac arrest from resulting in death. In order for Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) to have any real significance for the survival of the patient, it requires an educational effort educating the large masses of people of whom the youth is an important part. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a two-hour education intervention for youth regarding their self-confidence in performing Adult Basic Life Support (BLS). METHODS A quantitative approach where data consist of a pre- and post-rating of seven statements by 50 participants during an intervention by means of BLS theoretical and practical education. RESULTS The two-hour training resulted in a significant improvement in the participants' self-confidence in identifying a cardiac arrest (pre 51, post 90), to perform compressions (pre 65, post 91) and ventilations (pre 64, post 86) and use a defibrillator (pre 61, post 81). In addition, to have the self-confidence to be able to perform, and to actually perform, first aid to a person suffering from a traumatic event was significantly improved (pre 54, post 89). CONCLUSION By providing youth with short education sessions in CPR, their self-confidence can be improved. This can lead to an increased will and ability to identify a cardiac arrest and to begin compressions and ventilations. This also includes having the confidence using a defibrillator. Short education sessions in first aid can also lead to increased self-confidence, resulting in young people considering themselves able to perform first aid to a person suffering from a traumatic event. This, in turn, results in young people perceiveing themselves as willing to commence an intervention during a traumatic event. In summary, when the youth believe in their own knowledge, they will dare to intervene.

加强自信心是改善院前青年外行基本生活支持的一步。

背景技术快速的紧急护理干预可以防止心脏骤停导致死亡。为了使心肺复苏（CPR）对患者的生存具有任何真正的意义，需要进行大量的教育，以教育广大人口，而青年是其中的重要组成部分。这项研究的目的是调查对青少年进行为时两小时的教育干预对他们在执行成人基本生活支持（BLS）中的自信心的影响。方法一种定量方法，其中数据由BLS理论和实践教育干预期间的50名参与者在进行七个陈述之前和之后的评级组成。结果经过两个小时的培训，参与者在确定心脏骤停时的自信心有了显着提高（51前，90后），进行压缩（前65，后91）和通气（前64，后86）并使用除纤颤器（前61，后81）。此外，为了能够自信地执行和实际履行对遭受创伤事件的人的急救措施，其自信得到了显着改善（54级，89级）。结论通过为年轻人提供心肺复苏术的短期培训，可以提高他们的自信心。这会导致识别心脏骤停并开始压迫和通气的意愿和能力增强。这还包括使用除颤器来放心。在急救中进行短期教育也可以增强自信心，导致年轻人认为自己能够对遭受创伤事件的人进行急救。反过来，导致年轻人认为自己愿意在创伤事件中进行干预。总而言之，当青年相信自己的知识时，他们将敢于干预。
