Construction and validity of educational technology for adolescents on cardiac resuscitation

Abstract

Objective

To construct and validate a comic book for adolescents about cardiac resuscitation.

Methods

This is a methodological study with a quantitative approach carried out in three phases: 1) integrative review; 2) identification of learning needs (through a cross-sectional survey with 84 adolescents); and 3) construction and validity of storyboard made under considerations of the Theory of Meaningful Learning. The story obeyed the six steps of comic artist Mccloud, and was validated by 23 judges who judged the comic book using the Educational Content Validation Instrument in Health. The Content Validity Index and the binomial test were used to verify whether the proportion of agreement was statistically equal to or greater than 80%.

Results

The integrative review justified the need to construct educational technologies on Basic Life Support. The 84 adolescents indicated the need to learn about the first three links of care in a cardiac arrest. The technology brought, in the narrative of character Dara, instructions to apply Basic Life Support only with the hands in victims of cardiac arrest. In validity, 17 (seventeen) of the 18 (eighteen) items assessed received the maximum score, and the overall assessment of the technology obtained a value of 0.99.

Conclusion

The judges considered the comic book type educational technology valid for teaching cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Introduction

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performed by lay people increases survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). However, the overall prevalence of bystander resuscitation training and attitude is low.( 11. American Heart Association (AHA). Destaques das diretrizes de RCP e ACE de 2020 da American Heart Association. Dallas, Texas: AHA; 2020 [cited 2022 June 20].

, 22. Birkun A, Gautam A, Trunkwala F. Global prevalence of cardiopulmonary resuscitation training among the general public: a scoping review. Clin Exp Emerg Med. 2021;8(4):255-67. )To expand the CPR offer, international and national guidelines recommend that adolescents aged 12 years and older be trained to perform high-quality CPR.( 33. Cheng A, Magid DJ, Auerbach M, Bhanji F, Bigham BL, Blewer AL, et al. Part 6: Resuscitation Education Science: 2020 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care. Circulation. 2020;142(16_suppl_2):S551-79.

Lack of knowledge and skill about Basic Life Support (BLS) are obstacles to performing CPR.( 55. Yeow MW, Ng JY, Nguyen VH, Quan AD, Le QT, Nguyen TN, et al. Knowledge and attitudes of Vietnamese high school students towards cardiopulmonary resuscitation: results from a pilot student-led cross-country bystander training workshop. Proceedings Singapore Healthcare. 2021;30(4):302–8. )However, this can be overcome by promoting BLS learning in the school setting.( 66. Tony AC, Carbogim FC, Motta DS, Santos KB, Dias AA, Paiva AC. Teaching Basic Life Support to schoolchildren: quasi-experimental study. Rev Lat Am Enfermagem. 2020;28:e3340. )It turns out that in Brazil, unlike other countries, teaching this subject is not mandatory.( 77. Martínez-Isasi S, García-Suárez M, De La Peña Rodríguez MA, Gómez-Salgado J, Fernández N, Méndez-Martínez C, et al. Basic life support training programme in schools by school nurses. Medicine (Baltimore). 2021;100(13):e24819. )Training in the basics of first aid is only compulsory for teachers and employees of public and private schools.( 88. Brasil. Presidência da República. Secretaria-Geral. Lei n. 13.722, de 4 de outubro de 2018.

)

BLS includes recognizing cardiac arrest, calling the emergency service, performing CPR, and using an automated external defibrillator (AED).( 33. Cheng A, Magid DJ, Auerbach M, Bhanji F, Bigham BL, Blewer AL, et al. Part 6: Resuscitation Education Science: 2020 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care. Circulation. 2020;142(16_suppl_2):S551-79. Review. )Among the educational technologies capable of facilitating teaching BLS, the video mentioned in the largest number of publications.( 99. Galindo-Neto NM, Alexandre AC, Barros LM, Sá GG, Carvalho KM, Caetano JA. Creation and validation of an educational video for deaf people about cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Rev Lat Am Enfermagem. 2019;27:e3130. )However, a randomized controlled trial (RCT) showed that elementary school students who studied cardiac resuscitation using still images achieved significantly higher percentages of chest compressions with correct hand placement than those who learned with video educational technology.( 1010. Iserbyt P, Charlier N, Mols L. Learning basic life support (BLS) with tablet PCs in reciprocal learning at school: are videos superior to pictures? A randomized controlled trial. Resuscitation. 2014;85(6):809-13. )Furthermore, when considering the audience’s different needs and interests that demand training, the America Heart Association (AHA) suggests the increase of technologies.( 11. American Heart Association (AHA). Destaques das diretrizes de RCP e ACE de 2020 da American Heart Association. Dallas, Texas: AHA; 2020 [cited 2022 June 20].

)

Thus, comic books, as an educational technology that uses texts and static images in its narrative, and as an object of historical interest for adolescents, could help them learn BLS. In Brazil and in other countries, comic books have been used for health education.( 1111. Cruz GC, Vasconcelos MG, Maniva SJ, Carvalho RE. Construction and validation of an educational technology on human papillomavirus vaccine for adolescents. Esc Anna Nery. 2019;23(3):1–7. , 1212. Ramanathan K, Antognini D, Combes A, Paden M, Zakhary B, Ogino M, et al. Planning and provision of ECMO services for severe ARDS during the COVID-19 pandemic and other outbreaks of emerging infectious diseases. Lancet Respir Med. 2020;8(5):518-26. Review. )However, until the writing of this research, validated studies with methodological rigor capable of assessing whether or not comic book is valid as an educational technology to teach resuscitation were identified.

It is believed that, due to its low cost, easy reproduction and mass dissemination, comic book may arouse the interest of adolescents in BLS, increase CPR supply and the survival of OHCA victims. Therefore, the creation of this tool intends to contribute to evidence-based practice (EBP) and to empower the lay population on cardiovascular emergencies. Thus, this study aimed to construct and validate a comic book for adolescents about cardiac resuscitation.

Methods

The methodological study of comic book construction and validity was carried out in three phases: in the first moment, an integrative literature review was carried out; then, the learning needs were identified; finally, work was done on storyboard construction, resorting to judges with experience in CPR for validity purposes. A storyboard is a set of sequential drawings used as a guide to tell a story.

The integrative review was carried out between July and October 2019, and written according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.( 1313. Page MJ, McKenzie JE, Bossuyt PM, Boutron I, Hoffmann TC, Mulrow CD, et al. The PRISMA 2020 statement: an updated guideline for reporting systematic reviews. BMJ. 2021;29(372):n71. )The identification of learning needs, through a cross-sectional survey, was carried out between November and December 2019. Comic book storyboard/validity construction took place between January and May 2020.

To establish the research question, the acronym PICo was used: P (population) – adolescents, I (phenomenon of interest) – educational technologies and Co (context) – CPR. Thus, we sought to answer the following question: what evidence is available in the literature on educational technologies related to CPR developed for adolescents’ education?

For this purpose, the Medical Literature and Retrieval System onLine (MEDLINE/PubMed®) via National Library of Medicine, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS) via VHL, Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Web of Science via Core Collection (Clarivate Analytics) and Scopus databases were used. For the search, words present in Descriptors in Health Sciences (DeCS) and in Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and CINAHL titles were selected ( Chart 1 ).

Chart 1
Controlled and uncontrolled descriptors used in the search strategy

In order to identify the target audience’s learning needs, a situational diagnosis was carried out with students from a federal technical school in northeastern Brazil. The institution was chosen because it is a reference in free technical and vocational education, in addition to bringing together students from more than 25 municipalities. During the data collection period, there were 228 adolescents regularly enrolled. After applying the inclusion criteria (being an adolescent aged between 10 and 19 years) and exclusion (having professional training in the health area and/or being expected to evade or drop out of the course during the data collection phase), 84 participants were selected.

The students included filled out a form that was divided into 02 parts. The first had seven questions about the sociodemographic profile. The second contained 23 questions about the first 03 links in the OHCA survival chain.( 1414. American Heart Association (AHA). Suporte Avançado de Vida Cardiovascular: manual do profissional. Texas (EUA): Integracolor; 2016. 190 p. )In items of the 1stlink of care, students mentioned the need to learn about recognizing and activating the emergency medical service. In the 2nd, they pointed out what they needed to know about immediate high-quality CPR. In the 3rdlink, they pointed out the gaps in learning about rapid defibrillation. For each question, there was a four-point Likert-type scale: not important, reasonably important, very important, and extremely important. Participants should choose one and mark it. Form application took place in the school auditorium, and the response time ranged from 15 to 20 minutes.

In the third phase, storyboard construction and validity were carried out. The comic book was made up of researchers with experience in BLS and educational health technologies. Moreover, the team had the help of a private designer company in the graphic art elaboration. The storyboard was created considering the learning needs pointed out by adolescents. For each identified demand, educational objectives were drawn up based on Bloom’s Taxonomy. The educational content on CPR, in turn, was based on recommendations extracted from the Brazilian Society of Cardiology and the AHA.( 33. Cheng A, Magid DJ, Auerbach M, Bhanji F, Bigham BL, Blewer AL, et al. Part 6: Resuscitation Education Science: 2020 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care. Circulation. 2020;142(16_suppl_2):S551-79.

Arq Bras Cardiol. 2019;113(3):449–663. )Figure 1 presents the process of creating a comic book.

Storyboard content validity occurred remotely, via email/google docs. To establish the number of judges, a sample calculation was performed based on the formula for a finite population n=(Z1-α/2.S)2/e. In this formula, Z1-α/2 (confidence level) was set at 95%, (S) of 0.17 for standard deviation, and a (e) sampling error of 0.07, totaling 23 judges.( 1515. Diniz CM, Lopes MV, Nunes MM, Menezes AP, Silva VM, Leal LP. A Content Analysis of Clinical Indicators and Etiological Factors of Ineffective Infant Feeding Patterns. J Pediatr Nurs. 2020;52:e70–6. )Judges were recruited through a Brazilian researchers curriculum platform (https://lattes.cnpq.br/), using the subject term “BLS”. A total of 73 (seventy-three) judges were identified in BLS. The first 23 who had a PhD in nursing, with academic and clinical experience and who participated in a research group involving CPR were included. Those who answered the data collection instrument incompletely and/or did not return it within the stipulated time of 30 days were excluded. The judges had the levels of expertise classified according to the criteria stipulated by Benner, Tanner and Chesla, namely: novice (1.0 point), beginner (2.0 points), competent (3.0 points), proficient (4.0 points) and expert (5.0 points),( 1515. Diniz CM, Lopes MV, Nunes MM, Menezes AP, Silva VM, Leal LP. A Content Analysis of Clinical Indicators and Etiological Factors of Ineffective Infant Feeding Patterns. J Pediatr Nurs. 2020;52:e70–6. , 1616. Benner P, Tanner C, Chesla C, Expertise in nursing practice: caring, clinical judgment, and ethics, second edition. New York: Publishing; 2009. 497 p. )as can be seen in Table 1 .

Table 1
Classification of judges’ level of expertise

To validate the comic book, the judges received by email guidelines on how to carry out comic book storyboard validity, two copies of the Informed Consent Form (ICF), a sociodemographic and professional characterization form and the Educational Content Validation Instrument in Health (ECVIH).( 1717. Leite SS, Áfio AC, Carvalho LV, Silva JM, Almeida PC, Pagliuca LM. Construction and validation of an Educational Content Validation Instrument in Health. Rev Bras Enferm. 2018;71(Suppl 4):1635–41. )The latter has 18 items and 3 domains (objective, structure/presentation and relevance) that assess, respectively, purposes, goals or objectives; organization, structure, strategy, coherence and sufficiency; significance, impact, motivation and interest. It is noteworthy that, for each domain, there was a space available for the evaluators to record suggestions, rectifications/ratifications or any other information they deemed necessary. The ECVIH uses a Likert-type scale with scores ranging from zero to two (0 - disagree, 1 - partially agree and 2 - totally agree).( 1717. Leite SS, Áfio AC, Carvalho LV, Silva JM, Almeida PC, Pagliuca LM. Construction and validation of an Educational Content Validation Instrument in Health. Rev Bras Enferm. 2018;71(Suppl 4):1635–41. )It is noted that judges’ forms with considerations and notes on comic book will be available to readers on demand. Sociodemographic and professional data were coded in Microsoft Office Excel 365 spreadsheets. Data were double-entered and inspected for error correction, in addition to being exported and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), version 20.0. A descriptive data analysis was carried out with verification of absolute and relative frequency, median and interquartile range (due to data non-compliance with normality). For this purpose, R, version 3.1.1, was used.

The Content Validity Index (CVI) was calculated by applying the Item-level Content Validity Index (I-CVI). The I-CVI was calculated for each of the 18 items, and dealt with the proportion of judges who agreed with a given item. For the overall comic book assessment, the Scale-level Content Validity Index, Average Calculation Method (S-CVI/AVE) was calculated, which represented the average value of I-CVI.( 1818. Polit D, Beck CT. The Content Validity Index: are you sure you know what’s being reported? Critique and recommendations. Res Nurs Health. 2006;29(5):489-97. )The comic book and its respective evaluative items were considered valid when the proportion of experts’ agreement was equal to or greater than 80% in the binomial test, with a significance level of 5%.( 1818. Polit D, Beck CT. The Content Validity Index: are you sure you know what’s being reported? Critique and recommendations. Res Nurs Health. 2006;29(5):489-97. )

In this study, two theoretical-methodological references were used. The first, Ausubel’s Theory of Meaningful Learning, identified learners’ cognitive structure, and made educational technology meaningful to readers. By completing the adapted CPR form, students provided information about the need for BLS learning. Thus, observing the form data, potentially significant instructional material was developed, structured and not arbitrary to learners’ interest.( 1919. Ausubel D. Aquisição e retenção de conhecimentos: uma perspectiva cognitiva. Lisboa: Plátano Edições Técnicas; 2000. 215 p. )The second theoretician consulted was comic artist Mccloud, who points out the six steps for storyboard production: objective and educational content definition; format notation; choice of language; structure; ability; comic surface.( 2020. Mccloud S. Desvendando os quadrinhos. São Paulo: M Books do Brasil; 2005. 217 p. )

The research was approved by the Research Ethics Committee (REC) of the Universidade Federal do Piauí (UFPI), and followed the principles of Resolution 466/12 of the Brazilian National Health Council, under Opinion 3,697,960 ( Certificado de Apresentação para Apreciação Ética - Certificate of Presentation for Ethical Consideration 24422419.6.0000.5214).

Results

During the literature review, four modalities of technologies developed for teaching CPR to the adolescent public were identified: web/online courses, applications, virtual reality and video as the most used technology. Among the highlighted gaps, we mention the use of non-validated technologies, the fragile theoretical basis, the low number of research in the Latin American continent and the few publications in non-medical areas. In the cross-sectional survey, of the 84 (100.0%) adolescents who participated in the situational diagnosis, 56 (66.7%) were female, with a mean age of 16.3 (±1.07), a minimum of 14 and maximum of 19 years. Regarding the learning needs about the 1stlink of care to a OHCA, 79 (93.9%) needed to know about “responsiveness check” of OHCA victims, 76 (90.3%) “when to call for help” and 72 (85.6%) “how to ask for help”. About the learning needs related to the 2ndlink of care to a OHCA (immediate and quality CPR), 67 (79.7%) of adolescents needed to know about “what force should be applied to perform cardiac massage”, and 64 (76.1%) lacked information about “how many compressions should be performed per minute”. In turn, regarding the 3rdlink, 81 (96.4%) of adolescents needed to know “what to do right after shocking the victim”.

The comic book was titled “An Electrifying Day at School”, with 20 pages, 64 strips and 10 characters. Main character is Dara, a black, paraplegic adolescent and daughter of a nurse from the Mobile Emergency Care Service (SAMU-192). Despite having in-depth knowledge of BLS, acquired in conversations with her father, she did not imagine how she would be able to help anyone, due to her physical limitations. In this sense, the comic takes place when Dara witnesses the school doorman, John, showing signs and symptoms of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) followed by OHCA. She guides her friends and teachers to deliver hands-only BLS using non-technical skills (NTS) and her deep theoretical knowledge. The speeches, comic book and plot focused on the actions that must be developed by lay people in the first three links of the service chain. Figure 2 shows some clippings from the comic book.

Twenty-three (100.0%) judges validated the comic book content. The mean age was 41.5 (±8.02) years and the mean job tenure related to BLS was 11.57 years. There was at least one judge from each region of Brazil, with prevalence for the southeast 9 (39.1%) and the northeast 7 (30.4%). All were doctors, and 8 (34.8%) developed a thesis related to BLS. The average of publications involving this theme in the last 5 years was 2 (±2.86) articles. Fifteen judges (65.2%) were advanced beginner, 4 (17.4%), novice, and 4 (17.4%), competent. The items were validated in agreement greater than 95% among the judges. The one that received less approval referred to material adequacy to the teaching-learning process. Even so, this item had an I-CVI of 0.95. All others were assessed with a maximum score for I-CVI agreement = 1. The SCVI/AVE (for overall technology assessment) obtained a value of 0.99 ( Table 2 ).

Discussion

The comic presented guidelines on how to provide BLS for adults in OHCA. To achieve this objective, the strategy was to insert as the main character (Dara) a person with disabilities (PwD) who would act as a regulator. Thus, through NTS, such as situational awareness, leadership, decision-making and communication, she guided which BLS measures should be taken. Studies corroborate that the demonstration of NTS in OHCA scenarios, although essential, is not always addressed.( 2121.

Circulation. 2020;142(16_suppl_1):S222-83. Review. )

Throughout the plot, the comic book contemplated the first three links in OHCA survival chain of the AHA, which teach lay people to perform CPR only with their hands. A study points out that the application of simplified protocols, which dispense with pulse checks and rescue ventilation, makes lay people more likely to help cardiac arrest victims.( 2121. Perkins GD, Graesner JT, Semeraro F, Olasveengen T, Soar J, Lott C, Van de Voorde P, Madar J, Zideman D, Mentzelopoulos S, Bossaert L, Greif R, Monsieurs K, Svavarsdóttir H, Nolan JP; European Resuscitation Council Guideline Collaborators. European Resuscitation Council Guidelines 2021: Executive summary. Resuscitation. 2021;161:1-60. Erratum in: Resuscitation. 2021;163:97-8. )Still in this sense, the authors point out that interventions in prisons have a positive impact on the survival of victims.( 2323. Panchal AR, Bartos JA, Cabañas JG, Donnino MW, Drennan IR, Hirsch KG, et al. Part 3: Adult Basic and Advanced Life Support: 2020 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care. Circulation. 2020;142(16_suppl_2):S366–468. , 2424. Klein TA, Tadi P. EMS Scene Safety. [Updated 2022 May 8]. In: StatPearls. Treasure Island (FL): StatPearls Publishing; 2022 [cited 2022 Jun 20]. Available from: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK557615/#
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK55...
)

The educational content of the 1stlink brought instructions on how to maintain a safe setting to perform CPR. Publications by the Brazilian Society of Cardiology, AHA and the European Society of Resuscitation reinforce the need for scene safety.( 44. Bernoche C, Timerman S, Polastri TF, Giannetti NS, Siqueira AW, Piscopo A, et al. Atualização da Diretriz de Ressuscitação Cardiopulmonar e Cuidados Cardiovasculares de Emergência da Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia - 2019. Arq Bras Cardiol. 2019;113(3):449–663. , 2323. Panchal AR, Bartos JA, Cabañas JG, Donnino MW, Drennan IR, Hirsch KG, et al. Part 3: Adult Basic and Advanced Life Support: 2020 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care. Circulation. 2020;142(16_suppl_2):S366–468. , 2424. Klein TA, Tadi P. EMS Scene Safety. [Updated 2022 May 8]. In: StatPearls. Treasure Island (FL): StatPearls Publishing; 2022 [cited 2022 Jun 20]. Available from: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK557615/#
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK55...
)However, when considering that OHCA situations are accompanied by intense emotion, and that the team’s experience, values and skills (uncommon characteristics in adolescents) can interfere with decision-making. In this sense, it is possible that safety can be forgotten, and, acting on impulse, inattention to the scene can turn the rescuer into a second victim.( 2525. Anto-Ocrah M, Maxwell N, Cushman J, Acheampong E, Kodam RS, Homan C, et al. Public knowledge and attitudes towards bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in Ghana, West Africa. Int J Emerg Med. 2020;13(29):1-12. )

The correct way to identify a cardiorespiratory arrest, when to trigger it and what to ask the EMS were also taught in the comic book. It is worth noting that the way to identify and treat a OHCA varies depending on the rescuer’s education level, age and equipment available for care. For laypeople, studies agree that it is not necessary to check the central pulse: responsiveness should be checked by touching the victim’s shoulder, calling him out loud. In the event of more than one rescuer at the scene, another person must be delegated to ask for the AED and activate the Emergency Medical Service (EMS).( 44.

The comic book contemplated the correct way to perform resuscitation and how to request the AED (2ndand 3rdlink of care to OHCA). Researchers from Hungary identified that adolescents not exposed to educational processes have low knowledge about activating the EMS, immediate CPR and AED use.( 2626. Nofzinger JR, Kakish E, Bahhur NO, Ryno J, Pillai M, DeBelly J, et al. Effectiveness of Hands-Only Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Teaching on Lay Bystander Attitudes Toward Future Resuscitation. Spartan Med Res J. 2019;4(1):8749. )In this perspective, scientists from Ghana and Brazil also identified that not all respondents trigger the EMS in cases of OHCA, and that 64.7% do not know the amount of compressions that should be done.( 2525. Anto-Ocrah M, Maxwell N, Cushman J, Acheampong E, Kodam RS, Homan C, et al. Public knowledge and attitudes towards bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in Ghana, West Africa. Int J Emerg Med. 2020;13(29):1-12. , 2727. Carvalho LR, Ferreira RB, Rios MA, Fonseca ED, Guimarães CF. Fatores associados ao conhecimento de pessoas leigas sobre suporte básico de vida. Enfermería actual en Costa Rica. 2020;18(38):1-12. )

In the educational content validity, 17 of the 18 items assessed had a maximum I-CVI. As for the objectives, purposes, goals or purposes, there was agreement that comic book contemplated the proposed theme (I-CVI = 1), was suitable for the teaching-learning process (I-CVI = 0.95), clarified doubts, provided reflection on the subject and encouraged behavior change (I-CVI = 1). These data are slightly higher than those found in a study that built and validated an educational video on CPR, a fact that suggests that comic books are a potential educational tool for CPR. However, unlike the video, its effectiveness has not yet been assessed.( 99. Galindo-Neto NM, Alexandre AC, Barros LM, Sá GG, Carvalho KM, Caetano JA. Creation and validation of an educational video for deaf people about cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Rev Lat Am Enfermagem. 2019;27:e3130. )

Aspects related to adequate, appropriate and interactive language, as well as factors related to the relevance of information and theme, logical sequence of ideas and text size, were validated by the 23 judges with the highest score. A study carried out in Canada pointed out that language barriers in health care lead to a lack of communication between professionals and the lay public, reducing the quality of health care delivery and patient safety.( 2828. Moissac D, Bowen S. Impact of language barriers on quality of care and patient safety for official language minority francophones in Canada. J Patient Exp. 2019;6(1):24–32. )

The judges considered the comic relevant, meaningful and motivating. There was maximum agreement that the narrative encourages learning, contributes to knowledge in the area and arouses interest in the subject. These conclusions reinforce the European and American Resuscitation Councils’ hypothesis that non-vertical studies, which consider the opinion of the target audience and adopt educational theories for the technology basis and construction, can optimize the interest and motivation to perform CPR.( 33. Cheng A, Magid DJ, Auerbach M, Bhanji F, Bigham BL, Blewer AL, et al. Part 6: Resuscitation Education Science: 2020 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care. Circulation. 2020;142(16_suppl_2):S551-79. Review. , 2323. Panchal AR, Bartos JA, Cabañas JG, Donnino MW, Drennan IR, Hirsch KG, et al. Part 3: Adult Basic and Advanced Life Support: 2020 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care. Circulation. 2020;142(16_suppl_2):S366–468. )

Among the limitations of this study, mention is made of the fact that the effectiveness of the comic book was not assessed and the fact that the cross-sectional survey was carried out with students from only one school. Even with the educational content validated by judges with expertise in BLS, further studies are needed to identify the real impacts on theoretical, practical and motivational knowledge on the part of comic book readers.

Conclusion

The comic book was considered valid, according to judges in CPR, regarding the educational content on BLS.
