Methods A multi-stage cluster sampling method was used to select 11589 students from 9 schools (4 high schools, 5 vocational high schools) in 6 administrative districts of Guangzhou. Standardized CPR training based on the 2020 AHA Guidelines (1 h theory + 2 h practical operation + one-on-one guidance) was implemented by professional medical teams. Unified questionnaires were used to assess CPR knowledge (full score 10), first aid attitude and rescue willingness before and after training. R 4.3.1 was used for statistical analysis (paired t -test for quantitative data, χ² test for categorical data). Results A total of 6549 valid post-training samples were included, with vocational high school students accounting for 81.8% and girls 63.9%. The total CPR knowledge score increased significantly from 5.73 ± 2.03 to 8.87 ± 1.61 ( P < 0.001). The correct rate of 10 core knowledge points increased by 14.8% − 42.2%, with the increase of “AED usage timing”, “chest compression depth” and “unresponsive choking management” exceeding 40%. The willingness to perform rescue rose from 88.7% to 94.3% ( P < 0.001), while the proportion of training fear increased slightly from 13.7% to 14.6% ( P = 0.100). Subgroup analysis showed that vocational high school students had a higher pre-training knowledge score than high school students (5.85 ± 2.03 vs 5.2 ± 1.94, P < 0.001), and girls had a higher score than boys (5.89 ± 2.00 vs 5.46 ± 2.06, P = 0.03). After training, the knowledge gap between the two school types narrowed from 0.65 to 0.12 points, and there was no significant gender difference in knowledge scores ( P = 0.36). Students with previous CPR training history had significantly higher pre-training knowledge scores than those without (5.92 ± 1.98 vs 5.58 ± 2.05, P < 0.001). Conclusion Hospital-school collaborative standardized CPR training by professional medical teams can significantly improve CPR knowledge and rescue willingness of adolescents, and effectively narrow the ability gap between different school types and genders. It provides a practical intervention path for improving adolescent first aid literacy, improving the community emergency "chain of survival" and enhancing the prognosis of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).

Introduction Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a major global public health challenge with extremely low survival rates worldwide. In China, the annual incidence of OHCA is about 95.7 per 100,000 population, with a 30 - day survival rate of only 1.2%, far lower than that in the United States (10.8%) and European countries (3.1% − 20.4%) [ 1 ]. The survival of OHCA patients highly depends on the rapid activation of the "chain of survival", and bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the core link: every 1-minute delay in CPR reduces the patient’s survival rate by 7% − 10%, and CPR initiated within 4 minutes can increase the survival rate by 3–4 times [ 2 , 3 ]. However, the rate of bystander CPR in China is only 20.3%, and the public utilization rate of automated external defibrillator (AED) is less than 0.1%, which is far from meeting the demand for improving OHCA prognosis [ 4 ]. Adolescents are a potential rescuer group with wide distribution and rapid response in the community, and the systematic cultivation of their CPR ability is of strategic significance for improving the overall first aid level of the population. The European Resuscitation Council (ERC), American Heart Association (AHA) and World Health Organization (WHO) all clearly recommend that CPR training should be incorporated into the regular education system from the age of 12, combined with standardized theoretical and practical training [ 5 , 6 ]. Longitudinal cohort studies have confirmed that the willingness and behavior of rescue after CPR training in adolescence can persist into adulthood, which has a long-term promoting effect on the improvement of community OHCA survival rate [ 7 ]. Existing studies have verified the feasibility of adolescent CPR training: a large-scale training covering more than 330,000 middle school students in the United States showed that the knowledge score increased from 50% to 84% after training [ 8 ]; in Slovenia, the average theoretical knowledge score of 12-15-year-old students increased by 1.48–2.65 points after training [ 9 ]. However, there are obvious gaps in current research: first, the lack of large-sample, multi-center standardized training effect analysis for 15-17-year-old middle and vocational high school students, and most studies focus on college students or single school groups with small sample sizes; second, non-professional teachers often lead adolescent CPR training, resulting in inadequate operation guidance [ 10 ]; third, the problem of skill attenuation is prominent, and the standardized training model and retraining mechanism for middle school students are not yet formed [ 10 ]. Vocational high school students may have different training foundations from high school students due to the focus on practical skills in their courses, but relevant subgroup analysis is rare. Professional medical staff-led training combined with real-time feedback can significantly improve the quality of CPR operation [ 11 ], which is the key to solving the above problems. This study took 15-17-year-old middle and vocational high school students in Guangzhou as the research object, implemented standardized CPR training through the hospital-school collaboration model, and comprehensively evaluated the changes in students’ CPR knowledge, first aid attitude and rescue willingness, in order to provide data support for the construction of a normalized adolescent first aid training system. 2. Methods 2.1 Study subjects 2.1.1Sampling method and sample size A multi-stage cluster sampling method was adopted from 2023 to 2025 (Fig. 1 ). First, stratified by "high school/vocational high school", 9 schools (4 high schools, 5 vocational high schools) in 6 administrative districts (Tianhe, Yuexiu, Haizhu, Panyu, Baiyun, Nansha) of Guangzhou were randomly selected, and then students were included by class as a cluster (11,589 students in total). Finally, 9525 valid pre-training samples and 6549 valid post-training samples were obtained, with a sample loss rate of 30.6% (main reasons: absent courses, incomplete questionnaire filling, contradictory repeated answers). 2.1.2 Inclusion and exclusion criteria Inclusion criteria 1. 15-17-year-old students in public/private middle schools and vocational high schools in Guangzhou; 2. Voluntarily participate in the study with informed consent signed by guardians; 3. Able to independently complete the pre and post-training questionnaires without cognitive or reading and writing disorders (Fig. 2 ). Exclusion criteria 1. Absent from ≥ 50% of theoretical or practical courses during training; 2. Missing ≥ 3 key items in pre or post-training questionnaires; 3. Contradictory answers to repeated questions (questions on CPR compression position). 2.2 Training team and teacher preparation The core teaching team consisted of 30 medical staff from the Emergency Department of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, including 2 chief physicians, 2 associate chief physicians, 4 attending physicians, 4 physicians, 1 chief nurse, 8 nurse supervisors and 11 nurses, all with more than 5 years of emergency clinical experience or AHA Basic Life Support (BLS) instructor qualification. Two weeks before the training, the teaching team received 16 h of standardized teacher training, including the core points of the 2020 AHA CPR Guidelines, adolescent teaching skills, questionnaire assessment specifications, and a combined theoretical and practical assessment (pass score ≥ 90 points). 2.3 Training content and process A combined "theory + practical operation" model was adopted with a total duration of 3 h, and the specific process is shown in Table 1 . Laerdal Resusci Anne adult CPR manikins were used for skill demonstration and practical operation, with 1 teacher guiding 10 students in each group to ensure one-on-one error correction and feedback. Table 1 Training content and process of standardized CPR Session Duration (min) Core content Theoretical teaching 60 Identification of cardiac arrest, core steps of CPR (C-A-B), key parameters of chest compression, artificial respiration and AED usage, first aid ethics and laws Skill demonstration 30 Standard operation demonstration with adult CPR manikins, emphasizing palm root positioning, arm straightening and chest recoil Student practical operation 60 10 students per group (1 teacher guidance), each student completes 3 sets of complete CPR (30 compressions + 2 breaths) with one-on-one error correction Q&A and summary 30 Answer practical operation questions, sort out core knowledge points and common operation misunderstandings Note: CPR = Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation; AED = Automated External Defibrillator. 2.4 Evaluation tools and indicators 2.4.1 Questionnaire design Referring to the AHA adolescent CPR assessment tool and domestic relevant studies, a unified paper-based pre and post-training questionnaire was designed with the same structure (16 questions in total), including three dimensions: general information (school type, gender, age), attitude and previous training (5 questions: training necessity cognition, training willingness, training fear, rescue willingness, previous CPR training history), and CPR knowledge (11 questions, full score 10). The knowledge questions covered 10 core points such as chest compression speed, compression position, AED usage timing, and unresponsive choking management (repeated questions on compression position were both answered correctly to get 1 point, otherwise the questionnaire was excluded). The questionnaire used in this study was developed by the authors based on a review of the relevant literature and expert consultation. The full English version of the questionnaire is provided in Supplementary Material 1–3. 2.4.2 Evaluation time and quality control Pre-training test: Completed independently by students before the start of theoretical courses, with on-site verification of completeness; Post-training test: Completed independently by students after the end of practical courses without mutual communication. Quality control measures: Uniform distribution and recovery of questionnaires by the research team; double entry of data with EpiData 3.1 and logical verification + manual proofreading; unified teaching language and operation standards by the teaching team to avoid teaching deviation. 2.5 Statistical analysis R 4.3.1 software was used for statistical analysis. Quantitative data (age, total knowledge score) were expressed as mean ± standard deviation ( \(\:\text{x}\text{±}\text{s}\) ), with paired t -test for pre and post-training comparison and independent sample t -test for subgroup comparison. Categorical data (gender composition, attitude/willingness proportion, single question correct rate) were expressed as frequency (percentage), with χ² test for pre and post-training and subgroup comparison. The test level α = 0.05, P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. 3. Results 3.1 Baseline characteristics of the study subjects A total of 9525 valid pre-training samples were included, with an average age of 15.2 ± 0.42 years (range 15–17 years). Among them, 6088 girls (63.9%), 3437 boys (36.1%); 7787 vocational high school students (81.8%), 1738 high school students (18.2%); 4473 students with previous CPR training history (47.0%), 5052 without (53.0%). The proportion of students who thought training was "necessary" was 99.4%, "willing to participate" was 99.1%, "with training fear" was 13.7%, and "willing to perform rescue" was 88.7%. The total pre-training knowledge score was 5.73 ± 2.03 points (Table 2 ).

The correct rate of all 10 core knowledge points increased significantly after training, with an increase range of 14.8% − 42.2% (Fig. 3 B-L). The correct rate of "unresponsive choking management method" increased the most (35.5% → 77.7%), and the increase of "AED usage timing", "chest compression depth" and "compression position" exceeded 40% (Table 4 ).

The proportion of "willing to perform rescue" in girls (65.4%) was slightly higher than that in boys (34.6%) after training, with no statistical significance (χ² = 3.8, P = 0.052). 4. Discussion This study confirmed that hospital-school collaborative standardized CPR training by professional medical teams can significantly improve the CPR knowledge mastery and rescue willingness of 15-17-year-old adolescents in Guangzhou, and effectively narrow the first aid ability gap between different school types and genders, which has important public health significance for optimizing the community emergency "chain of survival" and improving the OHCA prognosis. 4.1 The "three-dimensional empowerment" effect of standardized training The training realizes the collaborative improvement of students’ knowledge, skills and psychology: in terms of knowledge, the core points with low baseline cognition (AED usage, choking management, compression position) achieved the most significant improvement, which is due to the combination of targeted theoretical explanation and one-on-one practical operation guidance in the training, making up for the deficiency of adolescent’s fragmented first aid knowledge acquisition in daily life; in terms of psychology, the rescue willingness increased by 5.6 percentage points while the training fear did not increase significantly, indicating that the standardized practical operation reduced students’ fear of actual rescue and enhanced their self-efficacy in first aid. This is consistent with the conclusion of Riggs et al [ 11 ] that professional medical staff-led training can improve the psychological acceptance of CPR for adolescents. 4.2 The cumulative effect of previous training history and the necessity of retraining Students with previous CPR training history had significantly higher pre-training knowledge scores and more significant post-training improvement, which confirmed the cumulative effect of CPR training: the initial training lays the foundation of knowledge and skills, and the standardized re-training realizes the consolidation and improvement of abilities. Combined with the existing research that adolescent CPR skills begin to attenuate 3 months after training without retraining [ 10 ], it is suggested that a regular retraining mechanism (such as annual re-training) should be established in the follow-up to maintain the long-term effectiveness of training. 4.3 The balanced improvement effect of subgroup differences and the enlightenment of inclusive training The pre-training knowledge gap between different school types and genders is closely related to their educational background and learning characteristics: vocational high school students have more opportunities to contact practical skills related to first aid due to the practice-oriented curriculum, so their pre-training scores are higher; girls have advantages in theoretical knowledge learning due to their attention to details [ 7 ]. After training, the gap is significantly narrowed, which is the core value of the standardized and inclusive training model in this study: the unified teaching content and one-on-one guidance make up for the deficiency of high school students in practical operation and boys in theoretical knowledge, realizing the balanced improvement of different groups. For school type differences, the follow-up training can adopt the mode of "universal content + personalized focus": strengthen the practical scene simulation for high school students, and increase the first aid scene expansion combined with professional courses for vocational high school students (such as ward first aid simulation for nursing major). For gender differences, give play to the complementary advantages of genders: strengthen the guidance of compression position accuracy for boys, and increase the chest compression strength training for girls with the help of elastic bands, so as to realize the maximization of training effect. 4.4 The promotion value of hospital-school collaboration model The hospital-school collaboration model solves the core problems of adolescent first aid training such as non-professional teachers and inadequate operation guidance: professional medical teams ensure the standardization of training content and operation, and schools provide the carrier and coverage of training, forming a win-win pattern of "medical resource sinking and school quality education improvement". The 3-hour training model (1 h theory + 2 h practical) in this study is highly compatible with the middle school curriculum arrangement, and is suitable for large-scale promotion in adolescents. At the same time, the 94.3% post-training rescue willingness means that students will become the "seed group" of community first aid, and realize the radiation and dissemination of first aid knowledge from "students to families and communities", which is of great significance for improving the overall first aid level of the population. 4.5 Study limitations This study has certain limitations: first, the sample is limited to urban schools in Guangzhou, and the popularization of the training model in rural and central and western regions needs to be verified by multi-center studies; second, the study lacks a control group, and the potential impact of social first aid publicity cannot be excluded; third, only the short-term effect of training is evaluated, and the long-term retention of CPR knowledge and skills needs to be further tracked by follow-up surveys; fourth, the evaluation indicators are mainly subjective questionnaires, and the combination of objective operation indicators (such as compression depth and speed compliance rate) can make the evaluation more comprehensive. 5. Conclusion Hospital-school collaborative standardized CPR training implemented by professional medical teams can significantly improve the CPR knowledge mastery and rescue willingness of 15-17-year-old middle and vocational high school students, effectively narrow the first aid ability gap between different school types and genders, and verify the feasibility and popularization of this model. This model provides a practical intervention path for improving adolescent first aid literacy, perfecting the community emergency "chain of survival" and improving the prognosis of OHCA. In the future, it is necessary to build a normalized adolescent first aid training system relying on policy support, improve the long-term effectiveness of training through the establishment of a regular retraining mechanism, and expand the coverage of training to rural and remote areas, so as to provide a solid support for improving the national first aid ability and the level of public health emergency response.

Introduction","content":"\u003cp\u003eOut-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a major global public health challenge with extremely low survival rates worldwide. In China, the annual incidence of OHCA is about 95.7 per 100,000 population, with a 30 - day survival rate of only 1.2%, far lower than that in the United States (10.8%) and European countries (3.1% \u0026minus;\u0026thinsp;20.4%) [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR1\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1\u003c/span\u003e]. The survival of OHCA patients highly depends on the rapid activation of the \"chain of survival\", and bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the core link: every 1-minute delay in CPR reduces the patient\u0026rsquo;s survival rate by 7% \u0026minus;\u0026thinsp;10%, and CPR initiated within 4 minutes can increase the survival rate by 3\u0026ndash;4 times [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR2\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR3\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e]. However, the rate of bystander CPR in China is only 20.3%, and the public utilization rate of automated external defibrillator (AED) is less than 0.1%, which is far from meeting the demand for improving OHCA prognosis [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR4\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAdolescents are a potential rescuer group with wide distribution and rapid response in the community, and the systematic cultivation of their CPR ability is of strategic significance for improving the overall first aid level of the population. The European Resuscitation Council (ERC), American Heart Association (AHA) and World Health Organization (WHO) all clearly recommend that CPR training should be incorporated into the regular education system from the age of 12, combined with standardized theoretical and practical training [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR5\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e5\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR6\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e6\u003c/span\u003e]. Longitudinal cohort studies have confirmed that the willingness and behavior of rescue after CPR training in adolescence can persist into adulthood, which has a long-term promoting effect on the improvement of community OHCA survival rate [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR7\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e7\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExisting studies have verified the feasibility of adolescent CPR training: a large-scale training covering more than 330,000 middle school students in the United States showed that the knowledge score increased from 50% to 84% after training [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR8\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e8\u003c/span\u003e]; in Slovenia, the average theoretical knowledge score of 12-15-year-old students increased by 1.48\u0026ndash;2.65 points after training [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR9\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e9\u003c/span\u003e]. However, there are obvious gaps in current research: first, the lack of large-sample, multi-center standardized training effect analysis for 15-17-year-old middle and vocational high school students, and most studies focus on college students or single school groups with small sample sizes; second, non-professional teachers often lead adolescent CPR training, resulting in inadequate operation guidance [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR10\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e10\u003c/span\u003e]; third, the problem of skill attenuation is prominent, and the standardized training model and retraining mechanism for middle school students are not yet formed [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR10\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e10\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVocational high school students may have different training foundations from high school students due to the focus on practical skills in their courses, but relevant subgroup analysis is rare. Professional medical staff-led training combined with real-time feedback can significantly improve the quality of CPR operation [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR11\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e11\u003c/span\u003e], which is the key to solving the above problems. This study took 15-17-year-old middle and vocational high school students in Guangzhou as the research object, implemented standardized CPR training through the hospital-school collaboration model, and comprehensively evaluated the changes in students\u0026rsquo; CPR knowledge, first aid attitude and rescue willingness, in order to provide data support for the construction of a normalized adolescent first aid training system.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"2.

The knowledge questions covered 10 core points such as chest compression speed, compression position, AED usage timing, and unresponsive choking management (repeated questions on compression position were both answered correctly to get 1 point, otherwise the questionnaire was excluded).

The 3-hour training model (1 h theory\u0026thinsp;+\u0026thinsp;2 h practical) in this study is highly compatible with the middle school curriculum arrangement, and is suitable for large-scale promotion in adolescents.
