| Background:The study aimed at assessing the knowledge
and skill of 4 medial related majors regard to CPR.
Methods: Using a the descriptive - analytical design , the
knowledge and skill of 320 senior students in medicine and
nursing (clinical) disciplines with special education about
CPR and health management & public health students
(non-clinical) with potential related education about CPR
during educational course, were assessed by a self report
questionnaire. Collected data were analyzed by Chi 2 or
Fisher, Student t and ANOVA tests in SPSS software.
Results: Most of participants were female. The mean age
of sample was 22.5±2.92. Students which receive special
education about CPR, compared to other disciplines that
receive only related education about CPR, have more
knowledge about it (p< 0.001) but their knowledge has a
considerable gap to ideal situation. The score related to
reported skills by most of student was higher than their
knowledge score.
Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate although
the most of clinical participants versus non clinicians have
relatively good knowledge about CPR but there is an over
estimation between knowledge and skills related to CPR
among them. This needs to more assess as well as the need
to revision in special related education. |
