Abstract

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to perform a comparative analysis of training methodology between accessibility and needs for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in the community.
METHODS
This population-based nationwide study used a structured questionnaire via telephone survey in 2011-2012. The study was conducted by stratified cluster sampling to assess the impact of age, gender, and geographic regions (n=1,000). The contents of the questionnaire consisted of awareness, prior training status, and willing methodology of public CPR training.
RESULTS
Thirty-eighty percent of respondents (n=381) had previously been taught CPR. Military service, education facility/ school, and workplace were 3 major resources of public CPR training among previously educated subjects (45%, 23%, and 9%, respectively). Seventy-two percent of trainees had been taught less than an hour and only 60% were trained using an individual manikin for CPR practice. Fifty-nine percent (n=593) had willingness to participate in CPR education and 40% of subjects wished to learn in a hospital or health care facility. Place of CPR training showed a major difference between previous experiences and willing groups in the community. Women and elders were more likely to learn CPR. Almost all respondents wanted short-duration learning (<1 hour), however, it was similar in the groups.
CONCLUSION
In the scope of the public, training site showed a significant discrepancy between previous accessibility and needs of layperson. They prefer a highly accessible location and method with relatively short-practice programs.
