However, the topic of secretly filming individuals, especially teenagers, in such settings or any other context, brings to the forefront serious concerns about privacy, consent, and legality. The act of filming someone without their knowledge or consent, particularly in private or semi-private settings like FKK areas, is a violation of their rights and can have severe legal consequences.
Filming a teenage volunteer performing the Heimlich maneuver in a Freikörperkultur setting is feasible, ethically defensible, and educationally effective when rigorous consent, privacy, and data‑protection measures are implemented. Such productions can simultaneously advance first‑aid literacy and promote a healthy, non‑sexualized perception of the human body among adolescents. FKK - Teen Heimlich Gefilmt
| Component | Description |
|-----------|-------------|
| Design | Convergent mixed‑methods (quantitative skill‑test + qualitative focus groups). |
| Participants | 30 adolescents (aged 13‑17) recruited from a local FKK club; 150 secondary‑school students (ages 14‑18) as viewers. |
| Procedure | 1. A certified first‑aid instructor demonstrated the Heimlich maneuver on a manikin while a teenage volunteer (fully clothed with a simple towel to respect modesty) performed the technique. 2. The session was recorded using a professional crew adhering to a “minimal‑exposure” protocol (no explicit focus on private areas). 3. The final video (≈ 4 min) was edited to show only the procedural steps. 4. Viewers watched the video in a classroom setting. |
| Measures | - Knowledge Test: 10‑item multiple‑choice questionnaire (pre‑ and post‑viewing).
- Skill Test: Participants performed the maneuver on a manikin; scores based on a validated checklist (max 10 pts).
- Psychosocial Survey: Likert items on comfort, body‑positivity, and perceived relevance.
- Focus Groups: Semi‑structured discussions with volunteers and parents to explore ethical concerns. |
| Ethics | Approved by the university’s Institutional Review Board (IRB). Parental consent and child assent obtained. Filming adhered to GDPR data‑protection standards; all raw footage containing identifiable body parts was destroyed after editing. |
| Statistical Analysis | Paired‑sample t‑tests for knowledge/skill gains; thematic analysis for qualitative data. | thematic analysis for qualitative data. |
