Purpose : This study is descriptive correlation research aimed to examine knowledge and performance ability of cardiopulmonary resuscitation of student attending the college and provide basic materials in developing cardiopulmonary resuscitation program. Methods : Data collection was conducted with the 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade college students sampled randomly by giving them questionnaire from Sep. 1 to 4, 2008. It used the research instrument used by Choi Hyang Ok(2006) and revised and complemented by the researcher and 200 data excluding questionnaire showing unfaithful responses were used for analysis. Data collected were verified with technical statistics using SPSS/PC(version 12.0), t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficient. Results : The results of this study are as follows. 1. Subjects' knowledge score of cardiopulmonary resuscitation was average .40(out of 1) and their performance ability score was average 2.39. 2. In the knowledge of cardiopulmonary resuscitation according to subjects' general characteristics, score was higher between over thirty and below twenty in age and in male subjects by sex and there were statistically significant differences(t=3.069, p=.029). 3. In the knowledge of cardiopulmonary resuscitation related to subjects' cardiopulmonary resuscitation, there were statistically significant differences in such variables as 'have you ever heard about cardiopulmonary resuscitation' (t=3.685, p=.000), 'presence or absence of education of cardiopulmonary resuscitation'(t=3.764, p=.000) and 'experience of observing cardiopulmonary resuscitation'(t=4.747, p=.000). In the performance ability of cardiopulmonary resuscitation by subjects, there were also statistically significant differences in such variables as 'have you ever heard about cardiopulmonary resuscitation' (t=2.269, p=.024), 'presence or absence of education of cardiopulmonary resuscitation' (t=3.541, p=.000) and 'experience of observing cardiopulmonary resuscitation' (t=8.118, p=,000). 4. Relation between the knowledge and the performance ability of cardiopulmonary resuscitation showed positive correlations as the more knowledge, the higher performance ability(r=.570, p=.000). Conclusion : Consequently, it was found that the knowledge and the performance ability of cardiopulmonary resuscitation by subjects were below the average and their levels of knowledge and performance ability were varied. Therefore, if 1 : 1 education with theory and practice considering knowledge and performance ability of each student in performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation education with college students is conducted, more lives can be saved by applying cardiopulmonary resuscitation not to be embarrassed when they encounter cardiac arrest case and contribute to the increase of survival of cardiac arrest patients.

We propose a effectiveness of the assistant pad during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and provide basic data for high quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The subjects of the study were 28 students in the emergency department who completed the BLS Health Care-Provider under the experimental study by the randomized crossover design. Data were analyzed by using SPSS 20.0 Version. The results of this study showed that chest compressions using assistant pads decreased pain and fatigue than normal chest compressions, and the depth of chest compressions was deeper than normal depth. The results of this study shows that the use of assistant pads between the one hand and the other hand during cardiopulmonary resuscitation may increase accuracy and depth were improved. Therefore intensive indicator also improved. However, with regard to the use of assistant pads, further studies will be needed to identify the potential for clinical use.

Background : Despite favorable effects of guidelines on patient care, guidelines often fail to achieve their objectives. Poorly implemented medical practice guidelines can produce only weak effects on the process of health care delivery. Therefore, we performed this study to investigate barriers related development of clinical practice guidelines. Methods : Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was selected as a target problem. Self questionnaires about management of cardiopulmonary resuscitation were developed by a researcher with advisory 8 experts. The questionnaires were designed as a unstructured methods. The data were collected from March 1 to May 31, 1999. A total 50 death case admitted inpatient to Inha University Hospital were subjected to evaluate the development and application of clinical practice guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The data were examined by frequency, t-test with SPSS. Result : The article reviewed several common barriers that might limit successful implementation of guidelines in clinical practice, as illustrated by evaluating recommendations for cardiopulmonary resuscitation clinical practice guidelines. Some major problems with guidelines were characterized as follows (1) ethical problem : euthanasia, (2) occurrence on various emergency event and setting, (3) non-medical problems (4) unreliable of medical record etc. Conclusion : Careful analysis of guideline attributes, anticipated effect on medical care, and organizational factors revealed several barriers to successful guideline implementation that should be addressed in the design of future guideline-based interventions.

Purpose: This study was undertaken to examine the effects regarding reeducation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation on persistence of nursing students' knowledge, performance, and self-efficacy. Methods: The research design for this study was a repeated experimental design featuring 35 female nursing students. Participants were educated using the standardized cardiopulmonary resuscitation protocol from the American Heart Association. Three months after the initial education, participants received reeducation about cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Knowledge and self-efficacy were measured before the initial education. Knowledge, performance, and self-efficacy were measured immediately after the initial education, 3 months later, and 6 months later. Collected data were analyzed using PASW Statistics 18.0. Results: Knowledge and self-efficacy significantly increased immediately after the initial education; knowledge, performance, and self-efficacy significantly decreased 3 months afterwards. No further decrease occurred until 3 months after reeducation. Conclusion: These results suggest that the duration between initial education and reeducation was insufficient, although the effects of cardiopulmonary resuscitation education were maintained 3 months after reeducation.

Purpose: With a view to providing basic data to develop cardiopulmonary resuscitation education suitable for elementary students, the cardiopulmonary resuscitation education was conducted to grasp students' knowledge, skills accuracy and the attitude change before and after the education. Methods: Convenience sampling was made on fourth and fifth graders(total-35 students) of S elementary school located in K city, Chungcheongnam-do, and this was a pre-experiment research designed before and after choosing a single group. In terms of methods, specifically we, researchers ; 1) Handed out questionnaires to students directly to make them fill in firsthand and collected the questionnaires. 2) Utilized PPT materials based on 2005 AHA guideline and DVD materials of AHA, to give students theoretical education of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. We used Anne/SkillReporter$^{(R)}$ torso produced by Leardal Inc, and Little Anne to conduct practical education individually. 3) Asked students to give Anne/SkillReporter$^{(R)}$ torso cardiopulmonary resuscitation five times with the ratio of 30 : 2, and then one of researchers filled in the evaluation sheet individually. 4) Evaluated the accuracy of students' ability to perform the resuscitation based on the record of Anne/SkillReporter$^{(R)}$ integrated printer(which was the objective tool to grasp students' skills accuracy). 5) Gave out questionnaires to make students fill them in and then collected them. after completing the practical evaluation. Results: 1) In case of the attitude about cardiopulmonary resuscitation, Students' confidency rose from 19.28%(before the education) to 93.57(after the education)- which is a positive change. 2) As the result of the education, some elementary students scored 11 points (full score-16 points), up from 5 points before the education, in terms of the knowledge about cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The average point also reached 13.14 points(after the education), jump from 8.37(before the education), which was the rise of 29.8%. 3) When it comes to the practical performance, the skills accuracy was 80.93% on average, and the calculation method was as follows: total items were 16, and each item was marked form 0 to 2 points, meaning the full score was 32 points. The minimum score was 19 points and the maximum was 32($M{\pm}SD=25.90{\pm}2.88$), which was calculated based on percentage. 4) Regarding skills accuracy, respiration accuracy(%)($M{\pm}SD=30.20{\pm}27.16$) was higher than pressure accuracy(%) ($M{\pm}SD=15.34{\pm}25.27$). Conclusion: The result showed that students' attitude on cardiopulmonary resuscitation changed positively. and meaningful difference(p = .00) existed in the change of students' knowledge. In terms of skills accuracy. chest compression and airway control showed high accuracy, but the result of Anne/SkillReporter$^{(R)}$ performance showed that the accuracy of chest compression was lower than that of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

The purpose of this study was to increase accuracy in performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation through comparing accuracy between chest compression and artificial respiration depending on position, gender, and weight of a victim given conducting cardiopulmonary resuscitation. This study randomly sampled 72 college students in G Province (36 in the experimental group and 36 in the control group) to conduct a research from November 5 to 19, 2009. The collected data were analyzed by using an SPSS WIN 12.0 Version program. Since the results showed that most regions got more effective artificial respiration and chest compression on the right side than on the left side, it is necessary to apply cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the right side in terms of how to implement and instruct cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the future. However, it seems that continuous researches are necessary to see if cardiopulmonary resuscitation is more effective on the right side in terms of the survival rate in an actual emergency.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to check up the status of 119 emergency control centers usage. Therefore, the status of use of 119 emergency control centers and the incidence of pre-hospital cardiac arrest patients were investigated. Methods: The emergency activity daily reports and first aid diaries of 119 emergency control centers from January to December 2018 were reviewed. For more accurate status analysis, Among the first aid guidance received in the emergency rescue standard system, the cardiopulmonary resuscitation guide log was reviewed. Results: In 2018, the total usage of the 119 emergency control centers was 1,358,356 calls, hospital guidance werethe most commom (n=629,676, 46.4%), followed by first aid (n=428,027, 31.5%), disease consultation (n=170,238, 12.5%), medical oversight (n=111,188, 8.2%), and interhospital transfer (n=5,052, 0.4%). Regarding the user number per 1,000 persons, Jeju was the greatest at 48.0, whereas Changwon was the lowest at 13.0. A total number of dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation was 12.181. The time from report to chest compression were 156.2±80.8 seconds for those with previous cardiopulmonary resuscitation training and 168.0±79.3 seconds for those without such training (p<.05). Conclusion: The ratio of first aid instructions, including dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation, among total usage of the 119 emergency control centers increased. Therefore, additional efforts are required to improve the quality and expertise of information provided through the 119 emergency control centers.
