To identify the most effective genre of music for facilitating the acquisition of proper chest compression tempo during CPR training.
Efficacy
Average chest compression rate (compressions per minute), average compression depth (millimeters) and compression release rate (%) while recalling each song during a 1-minute CPR simulation using a training manikin
Interventional
Single arm
Non-randomized
Open -no one is blinded
Uncontrolled
Numbered container method
1
Educational,Counseling,Training
| Maneuver |
Participants will listen to each selected song for 30 seconds using earphones.
After listening, they will perform chest compressions on a training manikin for 1 minute while recalling the rhythm of the song.
To block external sounds and visual cues, the task will be conducted in an isolated room with participants wearing earplugs.
Each chest compression session will last for 1 minute, followed by a 3 minute rest.
Each participant will perform chest compressions for 1 minute per session, repeated 4 times in total, once for each song.

Results: All participants (n=18) were female with no prior chest compression experience. ANOVA showed no significant differences among music conditions in compression rate, depth, or recoil. Subjectively, "Usagi to Kame" was easiest for maintaining tempo, while "Habit" was the most difficult.
Conclusion: Music aids tempo learning, but genre has no significant effect; ease depends on beat clarity and rhythm alignment.
