PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the willingness of family members to perform the CPR to their loved one with heart disease.
METHODS
226 participants whose family member is hospitalized with heart disease were recruited from two hospitals in Daegu city. Data were collected by using questionnaires which included demographic characteristics, factors including knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy and the willingness to perform CPR.
RESULTS
Participants reported on their level of knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy of CPR at the following levels: 9.16±2.66, 35.55±5.56, and 63.83±19.37 respectively. Only 53% of the participants reported prior CPR training, and 67.7% indicated that they would be willing to perform CPR to their family member with heart disease. Of the participants without prior CPR training, 34% reported that they did not recognize the importance of CPR training. Participants reported attitude (p=.002) and self-efficacy (p=.040) predicted willingness to perform CPR. Age (p < .001), gender (p=.004), educational level (p < .001), occupation (p < .001), prior CPR training (p < .001) were related to willingness to perform CPR.
CONCLUSION
This study findings suggest that it is necessary to develop educational programs for public to improve competent CPR performance.
