Abstract: Background: Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a vital lifesaving procedure that can double or even triple survival rates following cardiac arrest if administered promptly. Despite its importance, awareness and competency levels among laypersons remain low. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a Video-Assisted Teaching Programme (VATP) on improving knowledge regarding CPR among volunteers in selected non-government organizations (NGOs) in Bengaluru. Methods: A pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design was used. Sixty volunteers were selected through convenient sampling. A structured knowledge questionnaire assessed CPR knowledge before and after the intervention. The VATP included audiovisual demonstrations based on the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including paired t-tests and chi-square tests. Results: The mean pre-test knowledge score was 17.8%, which improved significantly to 72.1% in the post-test after the intervention, showing a 54.3% gain in knowledge. The calculated t-value was 24.62 (p<0.001), indicating a statistically significant difference between pre-test and post-test knowledge scores. No significant association was found between pre-test knowledge and demographic variables such as age, gender, family type, and income. Conclusion: The findings revealed that the video-assisted teaching programme was highly effective in enhancing knowledge regarding CPR among volunteers. Integrating visual and interactive learning strategies in community education initiatives can substantially improve preparedness for cardiac emergencies.
