Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify awareness, attitude and perceived competence about cardiopulmonary resuscitation in elementary school students.
Methods: Data were collected from a convenience sample of 616 5th and 6th grade elementary school students in Korea during September and December 2008. A self-questionnaire was used to gather the data. Descriptive statistics, t-test, χ² test, Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple stepwise regression with the SPSS program were used to analyze the data.
Results: Among the items related to elementary school students’ awareness of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, artificial respiration was perceived at the highest rate (91.9%) and was followed by cardiopulmonary resuscitation, chest compression and airway management. The mean score for attitude 3.51, perceived competence 3.47. There was a positive correlation between awareness, attitude and perceived competence. Attitude and awareness were significant predictors and explained 57.5% of perceived competence about cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Conslusion: The results indicate the necessity of developing effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation education programs for elementary school students.
