Abstract

Background/Objective: Effective practice of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) will depend to a good extent on the perception and attitude of a population towards this life-saving technique. This study aimed at assessing the perception and attitude of Nigerian athletes towards this important procedure. Methods: A questionnaire-based national cross-sectional survey of Nigerian athletes was carried out during the 21st National Sports Festival (NSF) in Delta State, Nigeria, which continued after the festival in the various locations of the athletes in the country. The data obtained was analysed using SPSS version 25 and descriptive and chi-square statistics, as well as one sample t test were employed with significance level set at P < .05. Results: In all, 419 athletes were involved in the study - 278 (66.3%) males and 141(33.7%) females with age range of 11- 49 years and mean age of 23.43 + 5.66 (SD). The participants significantly had positive perception of (P < .000) and attitude towards bystander CPR (P < .000), which did not vary significantly with respect to their participation in contact or non-contact sports (P > .05). Conclusion/Recommendation: The Nigerian athletes showed encouraging positive perception of bystander CPR and attitude towards it. Nigerian Governments should actively support the establishment of sustainable programmes for teaching and training of athletes in bystander CPR

尼日利亚运动员对旁观者心肺复苏的认知与态度

背景/目的:旁观者心肺复苏(CPR)的有效实施在很大程度上取决于人们对这项救生技术的认知和态度。本研究旨在评估尼日利亚运动员对这一重要程序的看法和态度。方法:在尼日利亚三角洲州第21届全国体育节(NSF)期间对尼日利亚运动员进行问卷调查，并在节日结束后继续在全国各地的运动员中进行调查。所得资料采用SPSS 25版分析，采用描述性统计和卡方统计，采用单样本t检验，显著性水平设置为P < 0.05。结果:共纳入运动员419人，其中男性278人(66.3%)，女性141人(33.7%)，年龄11 ~ 49岁，平均年龄23.43 + 5.66 (SD)。参与者对旁观者CPR的积极感知(P < .000)和态度(P < .000)显著，与参与接触性和非接触性运动无关(P > .05)。结论/建议:尼日利亚运动员对旁观者心肺复苏术表现出令人鼓舞的积极认知和态度。尼日利亚政府应积极支持建立可持续的方案，对运动员进行旁观者心肺复苏术的教学和培训

期刊介绍： The SEAMEO* Regional Tropical Medicine and Public Health Project was established in 1967 to help improve the health and standard of living of the peoples of Southeast Asia by pooling manpower resources of the participating SEAMEO member countries in a cooperative endeavor to develop and upgrade the research and training capabilities of the existing facilities in these countries. By promoting effective regional cooperation among the participating national centers, it is hoped to minimize waste in duplication of programs and activities. In 1992 the Project was renamed the SEAMEO Regional Tropical Medicine and Public Health Network.
