Background: Early, high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) increases survival in cardiac arrest. Although most cases occur at home and are witnessed, CPR is performed in few cases. For this reason, teaching CPR is important and especially in relatives of patients with high cardiovascular risk. Objective: To demonstrate the effectiveness of the Family and Friends CPR course in the theoretical and practical learning of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in relatives of patients with high cardiovascular risk or who have suffered a cardiovascular event. Methods: We carried out an analytical, quasi-experimental, prospective, before-and-after study. A theoretical knowledge questionnaire and an adult CPR checklist were used to assess the level of theoretical and practical knowledge, respectively. The theoretical knowledge was measured in three moments (before, immediately after and one month later) and the practical skills in two moments (immediately after and a month later). Results: The level of theoretical knowledge was low (8.64 +/- 2.47) before the intervention, achieving a good level of knowledge immediately after (17.33 +/- 2.02) and one month later (16.5 +/- 1.91). Furthermore, the medians of the level of practical knowledge were 15 immediately after and one month later, showing that they maintained a good level of practical knowledge. Conclusions: The Family and Friends CPR course was effective in the theoretical and practical learning of CPR in the studied population, and was maintained one month after the intervention.
