Abstract
|
|
|
Background: This study was conducted to investigate the actual status of dental hygienists' CPR-related educational experiences and the actual status of dental hygienists' CPR license retention, and to investigate the differences and correlations among CPR-related knowledge, attitudes, and performance abilities.
Methods: An online self-reported questionnaire was filled out by 200 dental hygienists nationwide from May 6 to 29, 2019. The data regarding the sociodemographic characteristics, CPR-related knowledge, attitudes, and performance abilities were collected and analyzed using the chi-square test, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and the Pearson correlation coefficient using IBM SPSS Statistics version 20.0.
Results: Dental hygienists with CPR-related education experience showed high levels of knowledge in the area. Dental hygienists with CPR-related education experiences and dental hygienists with CPR licenses showed high CPR performance abilities. Positive correlations are observed among CPR-related knowledge, attitude, and performance abilities.
Conclusion: As CPR-related education has been found to be of value and importance to dental hygienists, systematic educational programs as well as support for regular education will need to be implemented.
