The purpose of this study is to investigate the knowledge and performance ability of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) of physical therapist. A total of 105 physical therapists participated in this study. All participants were responded a self-administered method questionnaire to investigate the knowledge of CPR, and measured on their performance ability of CPR by Braden Pro application. We identified the performance ability of CPR and compared between educated and uneducated group. Among the 7 items on the knowledge of CPR questionnaire, educated group scored higher than uneducated group in Sequence of CPR, Ratio of compression and ventilation, Position of hands for chest compressions, Compression rate of chest and Ventilation volume. However, Depth of chest compressions and Airway maneuver were scored higher in uneducated group. The performance ability of CPR was not significantly different between two groups. However, Compression rate of chest was higher than guideline of CPR in both groups. There were inconsistent results between the knowledge and performance ability of CPR whether educated or not. This study suggests that it needs to provide repeated educations that improve knowledge and performance ability of CPR in physical therapists.

Background and Purpose : Higher grade students in elementary schools are most adequate subjects for first aid training. The purpose of this study was to assess first aid education and needs of higher grade students in elementary schools. Method : The subjects of this study were 183 higher grade students from 8 elementary schools. Data were collected by the questionnaire during the period from March 19 to April 13, 2007. The data were analyzed through frequency, Cronbach's ${\alpha}$, Independent Two samples t-test, One Way ANOVA by SPSS win 12.0. Result : 1. It showed that 78.1%(143 persons) of sujects answered that they learned first aid. 65% of sujects learned in the school(65%). 61.2% of sujects were taught by health teachers. 36.7%(67 person) of subjects was educated using practice with demonstration including lecture. Learned contents were action at emergency(50.8%), CPR(36.6%), splint (33.9%). 2. It showed that 90.2%(165 persons) of subjects answered that first aid and CPR education are necessary. Also 74.9%(137 persons) of subjects answered that will be educated first aid and CPR if opportunities is given. The 53.3%(73 persons) of subjects wanted teaching method using practice with demonstration including lecture. 3. The total mean showed $2.29{\pm}.48$ in needs of first aid education by 3 points Likert scale. Needs of first aid education was ranked Heimlich maneuver($2.41{\pm}.65$), splint and bandaging($2.38{\pm}.59$). Priority of intensive training showed patient assessment(38.0%) and CPR(19.7%) in first, splint and bandging(22.6%), CPR(21.9%) and Heimlich maneuver(21.9%) in second. 4. The needs assessment of first aid education showed statistically significant differences according to teaching method(F = 2.563, p = .025), education necessity yes or no(F = 2.474, p = .015), attending future education yes or no(F = 2.253, p = .026). Conclusion : These results suggest that First aid education for higher grade students in elementary schools must be consisted of most adequate content and method based on current education condition and needs assessment.

Purpose: This study aims to provide essential data for developing educational methods and content, tailored for the prehospital field situation, by analyzing the effects of education regarding the management of cardiac arrest. Methods: This study is a primitive experimental study of 55 new firefighters in C Fire Service Academy. Data were collected from the training which was imparted using the CPR virtual reality simulation program (CBS 2.0) in accordance with COVID-19 quarantine rules and social distancing. Data were analyzed utilizing SPSS version 25.0. Results: After VR simulation training, knowledge about performing CPR (14.85) and self-efficacy (4.12) were significantly high (p<.001). Learning immersion was also high (3.99±0.59), but learning satisfaction was even higher (4.34±0.62). Depending on the recruitment field, firefighters showed higher learning immersion (4.04±0.58 vs 3.68±0.63) and self-efficacy (4.16±0.55 vs 3.91±0.84) than 119 EMTs' but, there was no significant difference between them. In contrast, The quality of performance of CPR by EMT's was significantly higher than that of firefighters (p=.025). Depending on previous simulation experience, there was no significant difference among dependent variables. Conclusion: Virtual reality simulation shows positive results in learning immersion, learning satisfaction, self-efficacy, and performance of CPR. Therefore, we propose that virtual reality simulation training can be a new educational paradigm.

In this study, we tried to find out the difference in confidence in performing Healthy Life on CPR before and after CPR education to middle school volunteers. Through the above statistical analysis process, the following findings were obtained: First, the general characteristics of the respondents who participated in this survey were higher than that of boys, followed by third, first and second graders. Second, junior high school volunteers were shown to have similar confidence (Chonbach's α=.80) and confidence (Chonbach's α=.76) before CPR education, and confidence in the degree of social contribution (Chonbach's α=7.77). Third, the Pearson Rates Correlation was performed to see the correlation between grade, gender, pre-education confidence, post-training confidence, confidence in the application of airway methods, confidence in the patient's breathing, confidence in chest compression, confidence in the use of defibrillators, and post-cardiopulmonary resuscitation education. As a result, it was confirmed that there was a significant correlation between all the spokesmen. In particular, post-training self-confidence was the highest correlation with coping confidence in case of cardiac arrest, followed by chest compressive confidence. Comparing and reviewing these findings and prior studies as shown above, we were able to establish that CPR education has an impact on the confidence performed by gender.
