Abstract :

This literature review explores the effectiveness of online training modules for first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) compared to traditional face-to-face instruction. As the necessity for accessible and flexible training options increases, particularly in resource-limited settings, online platforms have become a promising alternative. This review synthesizes findings from studies conducted over the past decade, focusing on critical aspects such as knowledge retention, skill acquisition, and preparedness for real-life emergencies. Key themes identified include the strengths of online training, such as improved accessibility and the ability to cater to diverse learning styles, as well as limitations, such as concerns over practical skills development and knowledge retention. Innovative instructional methods, including interactive digital formats and blended learning approaches, are also examined for their potential to enhance educational outcomes. Despite the growing body of evidence supporting online training, significant gaps persist in understanding how these modules compare to traditional methods in real-world applications. The review emphasizes the necessity for ongoing research to address these gaps and to inform the development of more effective online training programs that incorporate hands-on practice. Ultimately, this review contributed to the discourse on improving emergency preparedness through effective educational practices in first aid and CPR training. By identifying best practices and areas for further investigation, this work seeks to enhance the overall effectiveness of online training modalities in equipping individuals with essential life-saving skills.
Keywords: online training, first aid, CPR, knowledge retention, emergency preparedness
