Factors Influencing for Intention to Perform Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Elementary and Secondary School Teachers

Abstract

The study aimed to investigate elementary and secondary school teacher's knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and explore which factors affect their intention to perform CPR. Methods: A descriptive correlational study design was utilized. Data were collected using self-reported questionnaire from 147 teachers. Statistical analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, t-test, x 2 test, F-test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and logistic regression with the SPSS/WIN 21.0 program. Results: The average of knowledge, attitude and self-efficacy on CPR was 11.11±1.88 out of 15, 42.81±5.22 out of 55, and 86.19±17.74 out of 120 in order. CPR performance intention had significantly positive correlations with knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy on CPR. In logistic regression, factors significantly affecting intention to perform CPR were the total number of training sessions on CPR (OR=12.15, 95% CI: 2.83~52.20), attitude on CPR (OR=9.26, 95% CI: 1.61~53.34), and self-efficacy on CPR (OR=1.72, 95% CI: 1.04~2.84), which accounted for 42.7% of the variance. Conclusion: In order to increase the intention to perform CPR among teachers in elementary and secondary schools, it is necessary for an educational program to be developed to improve positive attitudes and self-efficacy on CPR.

The Theory of Planned Behavior to Identify Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) Bystanders' Intentions

“…These results support the theory of planned behavior which states that a positive attitude will appear when someone believes that the action or behavior that will be carried out has a positive impact and vice versa. This supports previous research which explains that attitudes are strongly and positively related to respondents' intentions in carrying out a behavior (6,(8)(9)(10)(11).…”

Effects of immersive virtual reality cardiopulmonary resuscitation training on prospective kindergarten teachers' learning achievements, attitudes and self‐efficacy

“…Ratings vary between 11 and 55, with higher scores indicating more positive attitudes towards CPR. Although reliability was not published during instrument development, Cronbach's alpha values of 0.86 in Kim and Lee's (2009) study, 0.77 in Song and Park's (2020) research, and 0.63 in Seol and Lee's (2020) study were reported. Cronbach's alpha was 0.769 in this study.…”
