Abstract：Objective To explore the application effectiveness of the Kirkpatrick model in cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR)training for the undergraduate freshmen.Methods In September 2022,all 14 047 undergraduate freshmen of three universities in Xuzhou were selected to conduct a questionnaire survey on CPR knowledge and skills.Subsequently,we provided novel CPR training based on the Kirkpatrick model for all freshmen.A comprehensive assessment,including questionnaire responses and offline practical exams,was conducted in the aspects of reaction,learning,behavior and outcomes.The multivariate linear regression analysis was further performed to examine the relationship between students'scores and their general situations.Results The knowledge and skills scores of CPR was low among undergraduate freshmen in 2022.The pre-training score was only(2.94±0.56)points.After the training,students gave good feedback and evaluation of the classroom,the scores significantly increased after training compared to pre-training(weighted average score 5.16 points vs.2.82 points,P＜0.05).There was a significant improvement in students'beliefs regarding first aid.Multivariate linear regression analysis indicated a linear relationship of students'knowledge and skills module scores with household registration,medical major,relatives'physical conditions and family economic situations(P＜0.05),but there was no statistically significant correlation with gender(P＞0.05).The number of students who can basically master CPR operation reached 84.7％.Conclusions The CPR training based on the Kirkpatrick model assessment is good,but due to the privation of knowledge and skills of the freshmen,continuous and systematic CPR training is still in demand.
