Abstract
The purpose of the study is to determine the education-related factors those influence the willingness to perform Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). A total of 347 participants were divided into three groups; a 30 min lecture, 30 min of practice and a 30 min attitude education presentation; a 30 min lecture and 60 min of practice and the control group was provided with a 45 min lecture and 45 min of practice. A univariate analysis was conducted using a binominal logistic regression model to identify the educational factors that influenced the willingness to perform CPR. The participants in Experimental Group (EG) 1 showed increased willingness to perform CPR for non-family members (49.6 versus 85.7%, p<0.001). There were statistically significant differences between EG 1 and the Control Group (CG) (p<0.001) as well as between EG 1 and EG 2 (p<0.001) regarding knowledge of CPR between EG 1 and the CG (p<0.001) as well as between EG 2 and the CG (p<0.001) regarding CPR performance and between EG 1 and the CG (p<0.001) as well as between EG 1 and EG 2 (p<0.001) regarding the willingness to perform CPR. The willingness of EG 1 (Odds Ratio (OR): 5.622; p<0.002), EG 2 (OR: 2.801; p<0.001) and the CG (OR: 1.668; p = 0.027) to perform CPR after the completion of the course was a statistically significant predictor. Attitude education presentations during the course of CPR training may increase the willingness of participants to perform CPR.
