Abstract

Background

The incidence of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in China is high, yet the treatment rate remains low. Research on the current state of the public's awareness of and willingness to provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in Hubei Province is scarcer.

Objectives

The objective of this research was to explore the general public's knowledge, confidence, and willingness to perform CPR in Hubei Province, China.

Methods

In this descriptive study we used convenience sampling to select 1, 849 permanent residents of Hubei Province as survey respondents. A self-designed questionnaire included four sections: demographic information, knowledge about CPR, confidence in skill implementation, willingness to implement it, factors that may influence CPR use.

Results

Four hundred ten individuals (22 %) had a knowledge score of moderate or higher. The following factors were statistically significant in CPR knowledge scores: gender, age, education, place of residence (last three years), presence of a cohabitant over age sixty years, occupation related to medicine, and participation in CPR training (p < 0.05). Only 81 (9.8 %) were confident in performing CPR. There were 708 (77.2 %) members of the public who were willing to perform CPR on strangers. Gender, age, education, place of residence (last three years), and having a medically-related occupation were associated with willingness to perform CPR (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

Public knowledge of CPR in Hubei needs improvement, with a strong willingness but inadequate background knowledge for rescue. Government should broaden CPR training paths to enhance survival rates of OHCA patients.

公众对实施心肺复苏的知识和意愿：中国湖北省的一项研究。

背景：中国院外心脏骤停（OHCA）的发病率很高，但救治率却很低。有关湖北省公众对心肺复苏（CPR）的认识和意愿现状的研究较少：本研究旨在探讨中国湖北省公众对心肺复苏的认知、信心和意愿：在这项描述性研究中，我们采用便利抽样法，在湖北省选取了 1 849 名常住居民作为调查对象。自行设计的调查问卷包括四个部分：人口统计学信息、心肺复苏知识、掌握技能的信心、掌握技能的意愿、影响使用心肺复苏的因素：有 410 人（22%）的心肺复苏知识得分在中等或中等以上。以下因素对心肺复苏术知识得分有统计学意义：性别、年龄、教育程度、居住地（最近三年）、是否有六十岁以上的同居者、与医学相关的职业以及是否参加过心肺复苏术培训（P < 0.05）。只有 81 人（9.8%）有信心进行心肺复苏术。有 708 名（77.2%）公众愿意为陌生人实施心肺复苏术。性别、年龄、教育程度、居住地（最近三年）和从事医疗相关职业与是否愿意进行心肺复苏有关（P < 0.05）：结论：湖北省公众对心肺复苏术的认识有待提高，虽然有较强的意愿，但救援背景知识不足。政府应拓宽心肺复苏培训途径，提高 OHCA 患者的存活率。

期刊介绍： Heart & Lung: The Journal of Cardiopulmonary and Acute Care, the official publication of The American Association of Heart Failure Nurses, presents original, peer-reviewed articles on techniques, advances, investigations, and observations related to the care of patients with acute and critical illness and patients with chronic cardiac or pulmonary disorders. The Journal''s acute care articles focus on the care of hospitalized patients, including those in the critical and acute care settings. Because most patients who are hospitalized in acute and critical care settings have chronic conditions, we are also interested in the chronically critically ill, the care of patients with chronic cardiopulmonary disorders, their rehabilitation, and disease prevention. The Journal''s heart failure articles focus on all aspects of the care of patients with this condition. Manuscripts that are relevant to populations across the human lifespan are welcome.
