Evaluating the Effects of Popular Music on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Training

PhD, RN Associate Professor

This study aims to analyze short- and long-term effects of musical memory created by using a national popular song on achieving the recommended compression rate and depth and compression-breath rate for nursing students, who received CPR training.

In this study, used a popular Turkish song, entitled, 'More Beautiful Than You' and performed by Duman, to create a musical memory to be used as a mental metronome and analyzed short- and long-term effects of using popular national songs on achieving recommended compression rate and depth and compression-breath rate for nursing students, who received CPR training and performed CPR on high-fidelity simulation mannequins for the first time.

Students in the intervention group practiced CPR with music. Students in the control group practiced CPR with a standard mannequin.

CPR performance of the participants was evaluated just after the CPR training (short-term) and six weeks after the training (long-term).

Detailed Description

Nursing students that agreed to participate received two hours of theoretical lecture on basic life support for healthcare professionals.The training was based on the 2015 American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) and was provided by an emergency medical expert that had an AHA First Aid Trainer certificate.

Following the theoretical lecture, participants were allocated to the intervention and the control groups and performed at least 5 cycles of CPR (1 cycle=2 minute) on a high-fidelity simulation mannequin at the practice laboratory. During the performance, one of the students delivered rescue breath with a bag valve mask (BVM) whereas the other student performed compression. Participants switched positions after each cycle with 120 compressions.Following the training, students in the control group received the standard CPR training whereas the participants in the intervention group listened to the song to be used in CPR and then performed CPR while listening to the song. CPR performance of the participants was evaluated just after the CPR training (short-term) and six weeks after the training (long-term).

Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Intervention
Intervention All students who agreed to participate in the study received theoretical training on Basic Life Support based on the AHA 2015 guidelines from an Emergency Medicine faculty member who holds an AHA First Aid Instructor Certificate for 2 class hours. After the training, the control group students practiced standard CPR, while the intervention group listened to music that would be used during CPR and then performed CPR with music accompaniment.

No Intervention: Control
Control All students who agreed to participate in the study received theoretical training on Basic Life Support based on the AHA 2015 guidelines from an Emergency Medicine faculty member who holds an AHA First Aid Instructor Certificate for 2 class hours. After the theoretical training, the students were divided into intervention and control groups. After the training, the control group students practiced standard CPR, while the intervention group listened to music that would be used during CPR and then performed CPR with music accompaniment.
