Still, it was rarely mentioned in the literature, especially in the Malaysian school setting. This study aims to investigate secondary school teachers’ readiness (knowledge, attitude, and willingness) to teach and perform CPR. Through stratified random sampling, 308 secondary school teachers from eleven schools across Petaling Perdana district, Selangor, responded to an online survey. The results showed a low passing rate in CPR knowledge (1.9%), while 84.1% refused to participate in any CPR courses. However, a higher proportion of teachers were willing to teach CPR courses (62.3%). A total of 72.1% of respondents stated that there is no automated external defibrillator (AED) within their school compound. More than half (53.0%) were unwilling to use the AED machine during an emergency. Nevertheless, more than half (65.0%) were willing to st...

Despite the presence of cabin crew who is certified to provide medical care to the passenger, failure to acquire the non-technical skills and low level of knowledge and technical skills retention is reported to be major challenges in developing a highly competent cabin crew in providing effective medical care. Having the ability to design simulations, implement it into teaching, and effectively evaluate simulated performance is starting to become a key role for educators in health care. For most educators, a practical knowledge and skills gap resides between the need for simulation learning and proficiencies in designing and utilising simulation. The purpose of this model was to develop a 'trained educators' from the aviation industry with the knowledge and skills to utilise simulation effectively. The steps involve identification, development, and integration with a follow-up assessment. The implementation of the program yielded a significant improvement on the participants' knowledge, t (129) =-6.27, p < .001 together with a total DASH-SV score of 6.32. The barriers, including difficulties encountered executing the model, are discussed combined with the implication for future application. This model is an effective approach for developing a trained educator in first aid for aviation incorporated with simulation learning. The trained educator will then become a pioneer and train another organisation.

public health method to disseminate knowledge regarding life-saving skills such as CPR. However,
there is a lack of studies examining this crucial area of training in Malaysia. Hence, this study aimed
to investigate student teachers' knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions towards Basic Life Support
training in a public university in Malaysia. An online questionnaire was implemented among finalyear
student teachers spanning seven different majors. Participants were required to answer 40
questions regarding their CPR knowledge, attitudes towards obtaining BLS training, and
perceptions towards performing CPR. A total of 111 student teachers (80.2% female) responded to
the survey. Results indicated that the majority of the participants (98.2%) would like to join a CPR
training if offered. However, most participants reported a lack of information or resources in
obtaining CPR training (82.0%) and had fears of incurring injury (93.7%), being sued (96.4%),
being uncomfortable about bodily fluids (85.6%), or concerns of being infected with a
communicable disease (85.6%) by the individual receiving CPR. Notably, knowledge regarding
CPR was low regardless of CPR training history. Therefore, there is a need for public health
information to be disseminated regarding CPR to dispel fears regarding its practice and provide
future teachers opportunities to obtain BLS training.

For effective resuscitation, retention of CPR knowledge after training is paramount. This study aimed at assessing the retention of CPR knowledge among student teachers at pre-, post-immediate, 8th-, and 14th-week post-training. Method: A quasi-experimental study using non-probability convenience sampling was conducted to select 41 respondents from the Department of Physical and Health Education , Faculty of Education (UiTM). A validated American Heart Association's 2015 Basic Life Support (BLS) multiple choice questions (MCQ) were utilised to measure the retention of knowledge among the participants. Results: This study demonstrated a significant lack of CPR knowledge during pre-test with the mean scores of M=8.02 despite half of the participants had prior knowledge in CPR. Nevertheless, the paired t-test revealed a significant improvement in the post-scores following the intervention at M=16.20, t(40) =-18.56, p < 0.001, and d=3.91. The one-way RM-ANOVA results showed a decline in the retention rate at the 8th week (M=13.06; p < 0.001) and an improvement at the 14th weeks (M= 5.74; p < 0.001). Conclusion: The knowledge of CPR among the student teachers following the intervention program was appropriate, but the deterioration of retention suggested that all student teachers should undergo comprehensive routine CPR courses to avoid the immediate loss of CPR knowledge and skills. The governing bodies in Malaysia should implement CPR training as part of the curriculum for teachers.

Yet, there are limited studies that demonstrate the outcomes of debriefing on simulation-based resuscitation learning in the non-medical community. This mixed-method study examined the effects of debriefing methods (DIAMOND vs Customary) in 2 simulation experiences on 130 cabin crews' resuscitation knowledge, technical & non-technical skills. The quality of debriefing was assessed using a survey followed by analysis through face interview. The findings showed that there was no significant effect on the usage of different debriefing method by both groups on the retention of all variables, F (3,123) = .540, p = .656, partial 2 = .013. The DIAMOND debriefing was showed to be more quality as perceived by the DASH-SV scores, t =-6.244, df = 98, p = <.001. Elements such as Cognitive, Methodology & Psychosocial were reported to promote the retention of knowledge and skills among the participants. Despite not generating a statistically significant difference, this study reports important information about the influence of structured debriefing with additional investigations conducted with improved designs are needed to provide further evidence and perceptual effectiveness of structured debriefing.

Selected airline instructors were asked to attend a Train-The-Trainer course and then use the knowledge to test their airline cabin crews who were divided into 2 different groups (n=65) using different debriefing methods (customary vs DIAMOND) at both the baseline and at 6 weeks post-intervention on resuscitation knowledge and technical and non-technical skills through a MCQ test, TSTC, and CETAM. There were no significant differences in terms of the different debriefing methods on the improvement of all variables except for technical skills in both groups, F(3,123) =0.540, P=0.656, and partial eta squared=0.013 despite retention for all variables. This module is an effective approach to develop trainers for simulated resuscitation training and was proven to be effective in improving the knowledge and skills of cabin crew in Malaysia.

Previous studies have empirically tested the efficacy of the DIAMOND-structured debriefing model and found significant improvement and retention of the cabin crews' knowledge and skills. This study was aimed to explore the elements of the DIAMOND-structured debriefing model that have been known to promote the acquisition and retention of knowledge and skills in basic life support (BLS). Methods: A qualitative study was conducted with a random sample of 16 individual cabin crew members who participated in an in-depth interview with 13 open-ended questions for 45-60 minutes. The interviews were transcribed and independently analysed using inductive thematic analysis. Results: The codes which have emerged during data analysis were clustered into three themes: (1) Cognitive, with three sub-themes: engagement, learning environment, and ability to reflect; (2) Methodology, with three sub-themes: concept of debriefing, techniques of questioning, and additional elements; as well as (3) Psychosocial, with five sub-themes: attitude, self-awareness, relationships, self-confidence, and work culture. Several suggestions have emerged, such as the implementation of the model. Conclusion: The DIAMOND-structured debriefing model was a method to reduce cognitive load, which in turn allowed individuals to organise their knowledge, reflect individually and collectively, as well as structure their ideas. It has showed that the elements has a positive impact on the cabin crews' acquisition and retention of knowledge and skills which will improve the performance and patient safety

These skills are typically acquired through simulation training, which emerged as an effective way to complement clinical training. Non-technical skills frequently use high-fidelity simulation followed by a facilitated discussion known as debriefing. Debriefing by a skilled facilitator is thought to be essential for effective learning through reflective processes. Unfortunately, evidence to support the elements which contributes towards the effectiveness of debriefing remains sparse. We review the studies where elements of debriefing that have been manipulated and its effectiveness on the acquisition of non-technical skills among healthcare professionals through eight publications across four different databases. Non-technical skills performance improved after manipulated debriefing such as multimedia debrief, self-led debrief or no debrief. Besides, there was no added performance when video recording was added to facilitator-led debriefing. The application of learning theory on specific elements together with the application of selected debriefing models is highly encouraging for effective debriefing.

(3) Instrument testing through pilot study on five recorded simulated case scenarios involving four different elements of nontechnical skills (teamwork, communication, decision making & situation awareness) which were demonstrated in a medical emergency (acute myocardial infarction) (4) Obtaining the internal consistency & inter-rater reliability of the instrument. Results: Through expert review, selected items had been found to have an excellent total content validity index of 1.00. A single mean of both raters yielded a good internal consistency of 0.77. Strong correlations of both ratings from raters in each video ranging from 0.69 to 0.93 (p < .05). There was a good inter-rater reliability (ICC 0.68) and a good agreement (Kappa 0.62 – 0.81) among raters. Conclusion: The CETAM was found to be a reliable and valid instrument and should be beneficial for the measurement of NTS, nevertheless further evaluation is required to fully determined its properties before reaching definitive conclusion.

These skills are typically acquired through simulation training which has emerged as an effective way to complement clinical training. Effective simulation requires structure and effective debriefing methods to enhance its learning outcome. In previous literature, evidence of the effectiveness of healthcare simulation was available but studies evaluating debriefing method(s) remain sparse. In this paper, the effectiveness of debriefing methods in eight studies on the acquisition of nontechnical skills among healthcare professionals is reviewed. Articles published from 1 st January 2016 across three different databases were referred to. The results of the review show a statistically significant improvement in the performance of nontechnical and technical skills across different professionals through various methods of debriefing. Nontechnical skills such as teamwork, effective communication, decision-making, and situational awareness have improved significantly. In addition, integration of realism in simulation learning has begun to emerge as an effective technique of providing a real world experience. However, there was lack of detailed information on the length and type of debriefing conducted in the studies. These methods clearly require further research since the key to successful simulation learning is through debriefing which is the heart of simulation. ABSTRAK Kepentingan kemahiran bukan teknikal bagi golongan profesional di dalam bidang penjagaan kesihatan telah berkembang dengan pesat dan mula mendapat pengiktirafan sebagai salah satu elemen kritikal yang menyumbang terhadap peningkatan keselamatan pesakit. Kemahiran ini yang seringkali dikuasai menerusi pembelajaran berasaskan simulasi, kini telah berkembang sebagai salah satu kaedah tambahan yang berkesan serta pelengkap kepada latihan klinikal. Simulasi yang berkesan memerlukan ulasan berstruktur bagi memastikan objektif pembelajaran dapat dicapai. Di dalam tinjauan literatur yang lepas, keberkesanan ulasan di dalam pembelajaran simulasi bagi bidang penjagaan kesihatan telah dibuktikan dengan jelas, namun begitu masih terdapat kelompangan dari sudut kaedah ulasan yang dilaksanakan. Artikel ini mengulas tentang keberkesanan kaedah ulasan terhadap penguasaan kemahiran bukan teknikal dalam kalangan profesional bagi bidang penjagaan kesihatan menerusi lapan artikel yang diterbitkan bermula dari 1 Januari 2016 dengan menggunakan tiga pangkalan data yang berbeza.
