Knowledge retention and safety in decision-making in basic life support maneuvers by professionals in public elementary education after training conducted by academics in the health field

Abstract Body:

Introduction: This abstract addresses the application of Law 13,722/18, “Lei Lucas” (Lucas Law), which requires first aid training for education professionals. Despite its enforcement, its applicability faces limitations in the country. The project is pioneer in ensuring full training coverage in Botucatu (SP)'s public school system, aiming to overcome such challenges, serving as a model for other regions. Objective: analyze effectiveness of pediatric first aid training, evaluating the knowledge acquired and professionals's self-confidence applying the knowledge in real settings. Methodology: Cross-sectional quantitative study with 335 professionals from the public school system. Data collected in May 2025 via a test (34 questions created by the authors) on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Choking Disposal maneuvers and other common pediatric emergencies. Safety self-perception was measured on a 0-10 scale. The exam was applied after the 2024 training sessions to assess knowledge retention. Analysis focused on the correct answers percentage, by multiple linear regression associated factors with SPSS 21 software. Results: The 335 participants had 87.48% accuracy (median 88.23%; SD 8.45), indicating good knowledge retention, regardless of time between training and tests, which took place 5 and 13 months after training. Group characteristics: female (95.2%); teachers (76.4%), assistants (12.2%), administrative staff (3.0%), managers (8.4%). Varied experience length: >20 years (24.5%), 15-19 years (13.4%), 10-15 years (22.4%), 5-9 years (20.0%), <5 years (19.7%). High perceived training investment was observed (mean 8.66). Safety self-perception (mean 6.63); content engagement (mean 6.81); motivation (mean 7.62); performance perception (mean 7.37); participant’s training evaluation (mean 8.11). Performance assessment was without statistical differences (p>0.05) regardless of profession, age, time working in the education field or whether the participant was trained before tests. Accuracy increased an average of 0.80% per point in the motivational test (p=0.004). Therefore greater satisfaction correlated with better performance. Conclusion: The good performance is due to the first aid procedures flowchart clarity adapted to the lay public and training involvement (discussions, review through RCP videos and hands-on training simulation mannequins). The initiative demonstrated the viability of Lucas Law confirming applicability of learning and skill retention.
