Study Design: Basic Design - Single arm Randomization - Non-randomized Blinding - Open -no one is blinded Control - Uncontrolled

Primary Sponsor: Institute - Tokyo Healthcare University

Condition: Condition - None Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Intervention: Interventions/Control_1 - This is a CPR training session for school staff, consisting of practical instruction using a child mannequin with audiovisual feedback devices, as well as a lecture. The entire intervention lasts approximately 50 minutes per session.

During the first practical session, participants perform 90 consecutive chest compressions on a pediatric manikin using an audiovisual feedback device. Participants perform the procedure one at a time. Based on an objective evaluation using a skill reporter, the instructor provides approximately 2 minutes of individual verbal feedback regarding compression location, posture, and technique. While waiting, participants engage in self-study by watching case videos and reviewing materials on AED usage. This session lasts approximately 15 minutes.

General Lecture The instructor delivers a lecture on basic life support. Duration: approximately 5 minutes.

For the second practical session, participants perform 90 chest compressions on a pediatric manikin using an audiovisual feedback device, similar to the first session. Participants perform the procedure while monitoring the quality of their chest compressions in real time via the app screen. To minimize the effects of fatigue, the session is conducted in the same order as the first, and the waiting time is used for self-study.

Eligibility: Age-lower limit - Not applicable Age-upper limit - Not applicable Gender - Male and Female Key inclusion criteria - All staff working at the school Key exclusion criteria - Conditions such as a wrist fracture that are expected to interfere with performing chest compressions.
