the programme, 107 participants filled the evaluation’s form. We evaluated the answers of 44 questions about each part of the programme according to age, gender and speciality. Results: Self-confidence in the filling of EDC independently was reported in 84.17% of participants; 96.2% of participants declared the effectiveness of HybridLabTM training; 90.65% were satisfied with video materials and tests, 84.1% with simulated situations and 86.00% with algorithms. According to age, there were differences in the usefulness of the programme (p = 0.03), increased enthusiasm for filling EDC (p = 0.01) and learning without mistakes (p = 0.02). Women, more than men, understood information in the Internet database (p = 0.049). Nurses declared lesser possibility of asking the instructor than doctors (p = 0.04). There were no other differences between age, gender and speciality. Conclusion: The HybridLabTM learning programme ensures standardized, high-quality training for large and different groups of staff. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.resuscitation.2016.07.113 AP066 Greek teachers’ awareness and practices regarding first aid Kyriaki Kalogerakou, Sophia Zyga, Paola Rohas-Hil, Panagiotis Andriopoulos, Panagiotis Prezerakos, Maria Tsironi ∗ University of Peloponnese, Sparti, Greece Purpose: An accident is defined as any instantaneous event causing physical or mental harm or life loss that cannot be foreseen. Regarding children’s accidents, parents and teachers are the usual witnesses and education in first aid is crucial. The aim of this study was to investigate awareness, attitudes and practices of high school teachers related to basic first-aid practices and factors affecting the willing of knowledge. Methods: Data were obtained from 145 teachers in 25 high schools in Peloponnese, Southern Greece using a self-administered anonymous questionnaire for sociodemographic properties, level of knowledge related with first-aid practices and teachers’ willing for first aid education. The preparation of the questionnaire was designed to be simple and understandable citing specific questions in order to minimize the likelihood of confusion. Results: 145 questionnaires were answered (RR 58%). 97 responders were female (66.9%). Average age of the sample was 44 ± 7.8 years. The great majority of teachers (66%) were willing to administer first aid, but only 21.15% of responders felt adequate to implement first aid; 42% of teachers referred to a lack of equipment. Only 45 (31%) have attended first aid seminars (27.5% of men and 17% of women). Among teachers that have provided first aid, practice was considered poor and moderate in 6% and 32%, respectively; but in cases where seminars have been followed up, 89% considered their response excellent to satisfactory. Of great importance is teachers’ willingness for education in first aid techniques (95.17%). Conclusions: Teachers’ training in first aid is poor. Since teachers are often the first individuals to witness and handle situations requiring first aid, such seminars and courses should be included in continuing education programs. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.resuscitation.2016.07.114

Aims: The primary outcome was evaluation of the influence of the CPR course on the level of CPR knowledge of paramedical staff and on neurological outcome of all in-hospital successfully resuscitated patients. Secondary outcomes were the factors with influence on knowledge. We analysed all successful resuscitations during the years 2006–2015 including evaluation of their neurological outcome. Material and methods: 408 paramedical staff members took part on a voluntary basis in this research; 217 successfully resuscitated patients during 2006–2015 were included in this retrospective analysis. Quantitative research was conducted by a questionnaire administered by us for determining the level of CPR knowledge of paramedical staff and retrospective analysis of all successfully resuscitated patients during 2006–2015. Results: Factors with confirmed influence on the level of knowledge of CPR are: the undertaking of CPR course, duration from last CPR course, type of department where the respondent works and participating in real CPR. No relationship was observed in age, length of professional experience and education level. We observed 72 successful CPRs in the period 2006–2010 with 26.39% CPC 1,2 at ICU discharge were observed. After the CPR course implementation, 145 successful CPRs in the period 2011–2015 with 35.17% CPC 1,2 at ICU discharge were noted. We found statistically significant correlation between age, ROSC, type of initial rhythm, place of CPR and neurological outcome. Conclusion: Knowledge of CPR of paramedical staff is at a very good level. After implementation of the CPR course, the number of successful CPRs increased and better neurological outcome was observed. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.resuscitation.2016.07.115 AP068 Addressing clinician burnout: How can we build resilience in tomorrow’s health professionals? Amy Seymour-Walsh Flinders University, Adelaide, Australia Purpose: The clinical impact of burnout is known to threaten patient care,1 but the personal impact is much more difficult to measure. In Victoria, Australia, employment as a paramedic/ambulance clinician has been found to correlate to a four-fold higher suicide rate than the average population.2 Both educational and health service organisations have a responsibility to equip and encourage student clinicians and staff to address this issue. We set out to determine the extent and effects of burnout in pre-hospital clinical medicine, and to identify what strategies exist to manage this problem. Methods: We conducted a literature review to identify evidence relating to burnout and chronic stress in pre-hospital clinicians. Results: Although there is an increasing prevalence of studies relating to burnout in medical practice, very few address the unique context and pressures of ambulance practice.
