INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE IN A RESEARCH STUDY
Greetings and Salam Sejahtera! 😊
My name is Dr. Faisza Abdul Aziz, an Emergency Physician from Hospital Sultanah Aminah Johor Bahru, Malaysia. I am currently conducting a research study as part of an initiative to strengthen emergency preparedness and improve community response to cardiac emergencies in Malaysia.
You are warmly invited to participate in the following research study:
###
"Knowledge, Awareness, Perceptions, and Willingness to Perform Bystander Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Among Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) Johor Students: A Cross-Sectional Study."
---
## ❤️
Why Is This Study Important?
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) can happen to
anyone, at any time, and anywhere.
When cardiac arrest occurs,
every second counts. Immediate
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) performed by a bystander before the arrival of emergency medical services (EMS) can
double or even quadruple a person's chance of survival.
Despite its proven benefits, the rate of bystander CPR in Malaysia remains relatively low. Limited knowledge, lack of confidence, and low public awareness are among the key barriers preventing people from taking action during emergencies.
This study aims to assess the
knowledge, awareness, perceptions, and willingness of UTM Johor students to perform bystander CPR. The findings will contribute to strengthening CPR education programmes, improving emergency preparedness within university communities, and supporting national efforts to increase bystander CPR participation and save more lives.
💡
Just 5 minutes of your time today could help shape future CPR education and contribute to saving lives tomorrow.
