Abstract
The concern regarding inability to perform CPR properly was widespread, and few studies, however, have queried bystanders regarding their responses to an actual emergency. This study assessed how often CPR was performed by CPR-trained bystanders and what factors were associated with the performance and nonperformance of CPR by trained bystanders. From a 2,000 sample survey of the National Emergency Medical Center in Korea (2008), it extracted object persons who actually experienced an emergency situation, and examined closely the relationship of CPR education experience and CPR performance in an emergency. 169 completely interviewed, 23(13.6%) had CPR education experience and performed CPR in an actual emergency, 40(23.6%) had CPR education experience but didn't performed, 12 (7.1%) didn't have CPR education experience but performed, and 94(55.6%) neither had CPR education experience nor performed. Specifically, within bystanders who had CPR education experience, those who CPR was performed were different from those who CPR was not on medical emergency-related characteristics such as CPR knowledge(p=0.001), 1339 emergency phone number(p=0.006) and 1339 emergency services(p=0.001). Consequently, to consider social characteristics or an economic condition, various CPR teaching strategies should be prepared to continuously propel.
최근 응급상황에서 일반인의 심폐소생술 수행 능력에 많은 관심이 모아지고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 응급 상황을 경험한 일반인의 심폐소생술 교육 경험과 심폐소생술 수행의 관계를 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 자료는 2008년 중앙응급의료센터에서 2000명 대상의 성인을 조사한 것으로 응급상황을 경험한 최종 169명을 대상으로 전화 설문조사 하였다. 응급 상황에서 심폐소생술 교육을 받고 수행한 사람은 13.6%로 나타났고, 교육을 받았으나 심폐소생술을 시행하지 못한 경우는 23.6%, 심폐소생술 교육 경험이 없는데 수행한 사람은 7.1%, 교육받지 않고 심폐소생술도 시행하지 않은 경우는 55.6%로 나타났다. 특히 교육경험이 있으면서 심폐소생술을 시행한 경우 그렇지 않은 경우에 비해 지식(p=0.001), 1339 번호 인지(p=0.006) 및 이용경험(p=0.001)에서 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 따라서 사회적 특성이나 경제적 조건을 반영한 다양한 심폐소생술 교육 전략이 필요하다 하겠다.
