The purpose of this research is to determine oriental hospital staffs' education status, their knowledge, overall attitudes and self-confidence in conducting cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and how those factors influence their performance of CPR. This research was conducted from September 1st to 15th in 2014 and involved 104 participants who worked at P Oriental Hospital at Y city, and well-structured surveys were used throughout the research. The collected data underwent descriptive statics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe' test, Pearson correlation coefficients and stepwise multiple regression by the SPSS WIN 19.0 program. The results revealed the staffs' knowledge of CPR (r=.27, p=.007), attitude (r=.42, p=.001), and confidence in conducting cardiopulmonary resuscitation (r=.48, p=.001), which indicates all the factors are positively correlated. In conclusion, as the knowledge of CPR increased, CPR attitude and CPR performance confidence increased. We also found that a positive attitude toward CPR increases CPR performance confidence. Therefore, education in CPR should be included in workplaces. Through education, CPR performance and performance confidence can be reinforced at the time of emergency.

Since most of the first witnesses of cardiac arrest in clinical settings are nurses, the ability to perform CPR is important. The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for developing education that strengthens CPR performance in the future by examining inactive nurses' CPR knowledge, attitude, performance confidence, device discomfort, continued use intention, and educational achievement. The final subjects of this study were 88 inactive nurses residing in B city. The study period was from June 23, 2020 to December 24, 2020. The collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation using SPSS WIN 24.0 program. After obtaining the subject's consent for the study, an inactive nurse who understood the purpose of the study and voluntarily consented to the study participated. To investigate the perception of experience, the subjects watched 360-degree virtual reality contents about CPR in the hospital using HMD. The data of this study were analyzed using SPSS WIN 22.0.program. As a result of this 360-degree study on CPR in the hospital, the average score for the inactive nurses on CPR knowledge was 12.70±3.43, the average score for performance confidence was 6.04±2.45, and the average score for attitude was 4.63±0.80. As a result of experience recognition of 360-degree virtual reality contents for CPR in hospitals, the average score for device discomfort was 4.01±0.94, the average score for continued use intention was 2.07±0.85, and the average score for educational achievement was 2.11±0.79. As a result of correlation analysis, educational achievement and continued use intention were significantly positively correlated (r=.77, p<.001). Based on the results of this study, in order to strengthen the CPR performance capability of inactive nurses in emergency situations, it is necessary to increase CPR knowledge and confidence in performing CPR, and to cultivate a positive attitude toward performing CPR. In addition, it is necessary to implement CPR simulation education based on patient cases by applying content that considers educational achievement and continuous use intention.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of infant CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) immediate remediation[LAB2]. Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent comparison group pre-post test design. Participants were 73 child care teachers in J district in Seoul. The experimental group (35) received immediate remediation with video learning [LAB3]for infant CPR education and the control group (38) received video learning only. We investigated confidence of infant CPR and tested single-rescuer infant CPR performance depending on a checklist (8 items). Data were collected before and right after to evaluate the confidence of infant CPR and before, right after and 2 weeks after the education to evaluate the skill performance and final acceptance. Results: There was a significant increase in confidence of infant CPR in the experimental group and control group. There was a statistically significant difference in the degree of skill performance between groups according to the amount time (F=10.58, p<.001). The degree of skill performance was tested two weeks after the education and immediate remediation was 5.35 times more effective compared to the video image demonstration (B=1.677, p<.001). Conclusion: The findings provide the necessity of immediate remediation education of infant CPR to increase confidence and skill performance ability.

This study aimed to help build a quality control program to improve cardiac arrest treatment via analysis of medical records in a local tertiary general hospital to evaluate factors that influence clinical outcomes of in-hospital cardiac arrest. At first, the medical records of in-hospital cardiac arrest were analyzed, and targeted surveys about functional and structural factors associated with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) were conducted amongst the workforce in charge of cardiac arrest treatment. From January 2012 through June 2013, a total of 486 adult cases of in-hospital cardiac arrests, except for those occurring in the emergency room, were enrolled in this study. Among the patients, those of recovery of spontaneous circulation were 57.8%; 13.8% of patients were discharged alive; 8.9% of patients were discharged without significant neurologic sequela. Despite CPR is usually successful when administered as quickly as possible, in this analysis showed that prompt reaction after initial recognition was significantly lower in nurses compared with doctors. Analysis of survey results showed that confidence in performing CPR was significantly associated with the experience of CPR in doctors, while in nurses educational experience showed a correlation. In order to improve quality of in-hospital CPR system maintaining and increasing confidence of CPR performance is the most important factor. Therefore it can be helpful to develop and apply a phased, customized education program using training simulators as well as personalizing them to increase the personnel's confidence in CPR performance.

Purpose: Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) improves survival. However, there have been few studies on the performance of bystander CPR in Korea. This study was done to identify the reasons for being unwilling to perform CPR, and to investigate the factors associated with performing CPR on a stranger in an emergency situation. Method: The participants in this study were 444 local residents. Data were collected by using self-reported questionnaires from May 1 to June 30, 2010. For data analysis, descriptive statistics and multiple logistic regression were performed using SAS version 9.1. Result: Only 32.2% of respondents reported being willing to perform CPR on a stranger. The major reason for not being willing to perform CPR on a stranger was "have no confidence to perform CPR well". From multiple logistic regression analysis, statistically significant predictors of CPR performance on a stranger were found to be a higher educational level (OR=6.11, 95% CI 1.46-25.52), neighbors with angina pectoris or myocardial infarction (OR=6.65, 95% CI 3.93-11.24), and having confidence of performing CPR (OR=3.02, 95% CI1.78-5.14). Conclusion: CPR education (including automatic external defibrillator) should be offered to family members and neighbors. In addition, the Good Samaritan Law must be given wider publicity at the national level.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and retention period of immediate remediation for infant cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in child care teachers. Methods: This study used a nonequivalent comparison pre- and post-test design to measure knowledge about and confidence in infant CPR and an interrupted time-series design to determine skill performance. The experimental group (n=25) received both immediate remediation and video learning for infant CPR, and the comparison group (n=28) received video learning only. Knowledge and confidence were measured before and after 4 weeks. Their skill performance was tested immediately, and 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks after intervention. Data analysis consisted of ${\chi}^2$ tests, t-tests, paired t-tests, and a generalized linear mixed model. Results: There were significant increases in knowledge and confidence within the experimental group. Skill performance showed a significant difference according to the group factor (F=10.81, p=.002) and measurement time (F=146.80, p<.001). The experimental group maintained significantly higher skill performance than did the comparison group. Conclusion: These findings support the necessity of immediate remediation education for infant CPR to maintain skill performance. In addition, appropriate renewal time and the improvement of training programs for child care teachers are necessary.
