The Knowledge and Practice of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) among Nursing Students

Knowledge, Practice, Cardiac arrest, CPR, Nursing students

Cardiac arrest is the sudden cessation of a person’s cardiac activity and is often fatal if corrective lifesaving interventions are not performed quickly. The American Heart Association advocates the need for high CPR
competency among healthcare providers to increase the cardiac arrest survival rate. This study aimed to determine
the knowledge and practice of nursing students on the acquisition and retention of CPR. A quantitative
descriptive-correlation design was used, and a sample of 76 nursing students of Universiti Malaysia Sabah were
recruited via a non-probability purposive technique. Data were collected using an online survey questionnaire
that consists of 3 sections: Demographic, knowledge of CPR, and practice of CPR. They were analyzed using the
correlation method. The results of this study are about the knowledge and practice of CPR. Nursing students'
knowledge of the acquisition of CPR could be higher (39.36%), as is their practice (31.95%). The correlation coefficient between knowledge and practice is insignificant (rho = -0.073, p 0.531).In this study, both the knowledge and practice of CPR are independent.
