Develop Recommendations for Change Based on Evidence

 

The research suggests a pressing need to increase public education and awareness of CPR. While extensive literature highlights the prevalence of OHCA, there is a notable gap in research focusing on how education can improve bystander participation in CPR. Addressing this gap through targeted educational initiatives could significantly improve survival rates during cardiac emergencies.

Steps 11-14: Action Plan The implementation phase will involve a month of preparation followed by three months of data collection. A structured timeline will be developed to keep the project on track, with surveys and interview questions designed to guide participant responses. Recruitment efforts will include online advertisements and outreach to local schools. Participants will be randomly selected to ensure a representative sample.

Steps 15-16: Evaluating Outcomes and Reporting Outcomes The project’s success will be measured by the level of participation and willingness to perform CPR among the study’s participants. Data will be analyzed quantitatively, and findings will be communicated to stakeholders through meetings and reports. Additionally, the research will be submitted for publication in peer-reviewed journals.

Step 17: Identify Next Steps To scale the project, investment in marketing and education will be necessary. Initially, the project will focus on perfecting a single-site model before expanding to larger operations. The long-term goal is to establish a non-profit organization dedicated to increasing public awareness and education on CPR.

Step 18: Disseminate Findings Findings will be shared internally through presentations and emails. Externally, the research will be submitted for peer review and publication in reputable journals such as those by the American Nurses Association (ANA) or the American Heart Association (AHA). To further increase exposure, a virtual interview on Reddit’s Ask Me Anything platform will be hosted.
Conclusion
Cardiac disease remains a significant public health concern, with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest representing a critical area where bystander CPR can make a life-saving difference. Current data from the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation indicates that approximately 356,000 Americans experience OHCA annually, highlighting the importance of bystander intervention (Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation, 2014). Utilizing the JHNEBP model, this proposal seeks to compare outcomes between bystander CPR and no bystander CPR, emphasizing the need for increased public education and awareness. By effectively translating the latest research into practice, healthcare professionals can improve patient outcomes and reduce mortality rates associated with cardiac events.
