Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the knowledge and attitude regarding advanced cardiac life support among healthcare workers, 2022. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from March to May 2022 among healthcare workers who were working in Felege Hiwot Comprehensive Specialized Hospital Bahir Dar, Ethiopia. All physicians and nurses who were willing to participate this study were involved. A structured self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection. The data were entered into the statistical software Epi Data version 4.6.0.4 and analyzed with statistical package for social science version 26. Logistic regression analysis was used to differentiate the effects of each independent variable on the dependent variable. Results: Among the total study participants (400) with a response rate of 96%, most (238) (59.5%) healthcare workers (nurses and physicians) had poor knowledge toward advanced cardiac life support. Two hundred twenty-five (56.25%) healthcare workers had positive attitude. Being a physician, having more than 6 years of work experience, working in an emergency department for more than 10 years, and having advanced cardiac life support training all contribute to superior knowledge of advanced cardiac life support. Conclusion: Most healthcare workers, especially, nurses, have under estimated knowledge and a negative attitude toward advanced cardiac life support. This implies they require knowledge building and attitude empowerment regarding advanced cardiac life support. Being a physician, having training in advanced cardiac life support, having work experience of more than 6 years, and working in an emergency unit for more than 10 years were positively associated with better knowledge of advanced cardiac life support among healthcare workers.

Advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) refers to a set of life-saving protocols and skills for urgently and emergently treating life-threatening conditions that result in cardiac arrest. An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted to assess knowledge, practices, and associated factors of ACLS among general practitioners (GPs) and nurses in Ethiopia. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires. Data entry was carried out using EpiData version 4.6, and the analysis was performed using STATA 14. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were employed. The study included 147 GPs and nurses, yielding a response rate of 94.2%, with 39.5% (95% CI: 32.3-47.7) and 35.37% (95% CI: 28.68-43.8) demonstrating good knowledge and practice, respectively. Sex, education, experience, and the availability of emergency equipment were significantly associated with the knowledge. Workplace, exposure to cases of cardiac arrest, training, and experience were found to be significantly associated with practice. There is a significant gap in both knowledge and practice. Based on our results, we recommend simulation-based in-service training and the inclusion of ACLS protocols in the formal education of health students.
