Abstract
Purpose: This study measured awareness of automated external defibrillators (AED) among students majoring in health-related versus non-health-related fields. Methods: A total of 577 students filled out a questionnaire on awareness of AEDs between June 12 and June 28, 2017. Using SPSS 23.0, data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and t-tests. Results: In response to a question about awareness of AED, 25.0% of students majoring in a health-related and 38.6% of those majoring in a non-health-related field answered on "I have seen or heard" and "I have no idea". In response to a question on perception on AED use, 82.4% of students majoring in a health-related field and 88.1% of those in a non-health-related field reported that they thought perception of AED use was not universal. In terms of experience with education on the use of AED, 30.2% of health-related majors and 49.7% of non-health-related majors had not received any training on the use of AED. The average overall score regarding knowledge about AED was 8.69 for health-related majors, compared to 7.79 for non-health-related majors. Conclusion: In order to improve awareness regarding AED use, education on importance and necessity of AED should be emphasized and implemented consistently by the mass media.
