Determinants Influencing the Readiness of Non-Medical Hospital Personnel to Perform Basic Life Support
Subject
basic life support, behavioral beliefs, control beliefs, intention, normative beliefs, non-medical personnel
Description
All healthcare personnel, including both medical and non-medical staff within hospitals, are expected to possess the
capability to administer Basic Life Support (BLS) in order to provide immediate assistance during emergencies. However,
many non-medical hospital staff remain unprepared to perform BLS due to a lack of knowledge, willingness, and
confidence. This study aims to identify the factors affecting the preparedness of non-medical hospital staff in carrying out
BLS at Undata Hospital, a healthcare facility in Central Sulawesi. This research employed quantitative design with a
cross-sectional approach. The sample comprised 103 non-medical respondents selected through total sampling. Data were
collected through structured interviews and self-administered questionnaires. The variables measured in this study include
behavioral beliefs, normative beliefs, control beliefs, intention, and BLS readiness. Data were analyzed using Partial Least
Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicated that behavioral beliefs significantly influenced
intention (p = 0.040), while normative beliefs did not (p = 0.128). Control beliefs showed no significant influence on
intention (p = 0.058), whereas intention had a significant effect on BLS readiness (p = 0.046). The study concludes that
behavioral beliefs influence intention, which in turn significantly affects BLS readiness
