Abstract
This is a part of research and development aimed at studying the structure and outcomes of implementing an innovative medical education curriculum platform in secondary schools in Pattani Province. The sample were 2,996 teachers and students from 15 secondary schools. Instruments consisted of content and learning resources modified from course prototype from Chiangmai to be appropriate with cultural context. Data were collected by using a questionnaire on knowledge and skill in basic CPR and AED and observation of participation. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. The research findings revealed: 1) All secondary schools in Pattani Province demonstrated their active participation in applying to learning platform by modifying in seven context-appropriate platforms, which were evaluated by experts and assessed as of good quality (M = 4.43, SD = 0.69). The finding showed that all participated teachers and students demonstrated exceptionally high levels of knowledge in emergency medical care, basic life support, and AED usage (M = 18.74, SD = 1.73). All (100%) met a standard of basic CPR and AED skills and gained extremely high confidence and satisfaction levels in basic life support and AED usage (M = 4.66, SD = 0.63). It is suggested to scale up an emergency medical learning platform to every secondary school.
