Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Choking Management Education for Caregivers of Infants Under 1 Year: Comparison Between Practical Workshop and Informational Leaflet

Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational workshop versus standard information in improving knowledge and perceived self-efficacy in basic life support. Study Design: randomized crossover clinical trial with two intervention periods and a one-month washout. Methods: * Participants: Parents, caregivers, or legal guardians of infants under 6 months of age attending well-child check-ups at three primary care centers in Cantabria. * Interventions: Participants will be randomly assigned to two sequences: group AB will first receive intervention A (an explained information leaflet) followed by intervention B (a theoretical-practical workshop); group BA will follow the reverse order. * Randomization: Allocation sequence concealed using sequentially numbered, opaque sealed envelopes. * Blinding: Outcome assessors were blinded to group allocation; participants and those delivering the interventions were not. * Implications for practice: Planned implementation of practical workshops in childcare to enhance family responses to life-threatening pediatric emergencies.
