Factors influencing the possibility to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation among lay cardiopulmonary resuscitation trainees: Using the data of the 2016 Community Health Survey

Predictors of anticipated coping behavior at myocardial infarction symptom onset among a nationwide sample of Korean adults

“…With respect to the perceived risks, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and obesity were identified as predictors of the coping behavior in response to MI symptoms. A previous study reported that hypertension was a significant factor in influencing inappropriate treatment-seeking behaviors [ 15 ] and in another study, participants with MI or angina pectoris were more likely to perform CPR [ 14 ]. Although it is difficult to make a direct comparison, in yet another previous study, hypertension, dyslipidemia, stroke, MI, and angina pectoris were identified as influencing the level of awareness of CVD [ 24 ].…”

“…The HBM has been used as an important predictor in explaining health-related behavior, such as smoking, exercise, and health service utilization, and lately is used to predict behavior in diverse areas [ 18 ]. Based on a previous study which used the CHS data [ 14 ], the demographics, health knowledge, and perceived threat (i.e., modifying factors) were used as independent variables and anticipated coping behavior was chosen as dependent variable, as it was infeasible to examine all components of the HBM.…”

“…However, challenges remain in the bystanders’ CPR performance because the general public do not have specialized knowledge and are afraid of performing CPR [ 13 ]. In addition, it was reported that the longer ago they received CPR training, the less likely they were to perform CPR [ 14 ].
