Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2023, Vol 12, Issue 7
Abstract
Basic Life Support is a crucial skill to effectively minimize morbidity and mortality in the community. Empowering the youth to have awareness and knowledge of Basic Life Support is important to have the majority of the population be able to assist victims of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. A quantitative approach and a descriptive-comparative research design were used in this study to assess the readiness and willingness of the youth population in Quezon City concerning the provision of Basic Life Support. The data was collected through the use of a researcher-made, four-part structured questionnaire. The research locale is three (3) selected barangays in Quezon City in which 385 youth individuals who are within the age cohort of 15 to 24, studying or working, and residing in Quezon City are the respondents. Descriptive and analytic statistics were used to analyze the data. T-tests and ANOVA tests were conducted at the level of significance α = 0.05 with a confidence interval of 95%, wherein p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. The respondents' level of knowledge for the components of Basic Life Support, which are divided into three sections: Recognition of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (mean = 191.1), Provision of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (mean = 175.87), and Utilization of Automated External Defibrillator (mean = 175.8) are all moderate. Moreover, there is a moderate level of self-efficacy among the youth respondents in selected areas in Quezon City (mean = 2.74). In terms of willingness, the respondents are most willing to administer Basic Life Support to their own family and peers and are least willing to immunocompromised individuals. Age, educational attainment, and training are found to have a significant impact on youth readiness to perform Basic Life Support, whereas gender, marital status, and socioeconomic status have no significance. The results of this study are to be used as a basis for a webinar program. Overall, the study emphasizes the importance of addressing youth BLS readiness and willingness through education, training, and continued experience, resulting in improved ability to respond effectively in emergency situations.
