“…[1] Globally, the incidence of Sudden cardiac arrest range between 20-140 per 100,000 people and around 2-11% among them survive. [2] Moreover, it is estimated that around 17.8million people died from cardiopulmonary dieses each year, and is expected to rise up to 23 million by 2030. [3] In Oman, it is challenging to understand the epidemiology of sudden cardiac arrest due to absence of nationwide standards for surveillance to examine the actual numbers and outcomes of cardiac arrest.…”

“…[4] Cardiopulmonary resuscitation CPR is initiated for cardiac arrest patients to circulate the blood artificially to the main organs by giving chest compression to the ventricles [1], minimizing tissues' damage and helping breathing through oxygenation. [2] Health care professionals are required to be competent in responding quickly and effectively to CA by receiving continuous training. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) decreases in-hospital cardiac arrests and associated deaths, when patients receive CPR promptly from a well prepared and trained healthcare professionals.…”

“…Such as, the availability of basic and advanced life support system, the immediate attempt of defibrillation and effectiveness of CPR interventions. [1,2,8] It is suggested that high quality CPR increases the survival chance following CA, as long as the practitioners maintain crucial components of CPR which are minimizing the interruption of chest compression, perform adequate frequency and depth of chest compression, allow for chest expansion, and avoid access ventilation. [2] Similarly, one study had confirmed that early detection of CA, initiation of CPR and prompt management of competent and knowledgeable team are important factors to increases the survival rate.…”

“…[3] The noticeable improvement in survival rate in United States of America (USA) and United Kingdom (UK) is explained of as a result of increased numbers of training programs for health care professionals and specifically nurses, and the availability of equipment needed during CPR such as defibrillators and drugs. [2,8] Contemporary, health care team include nurses in the position to deliver effective CPR by having enough knowledge and competence of CPR guidelines and the use of defibrillators and other equipment need during CPR. The importance of having CPR knowledge has been proven in many to improve survival of in-hospital CA by 7-24 % of reported cases.…”

“…The importance of having CPR knowledge has been proven in many to improve survival of in-hospital CA by 7-24 % of reported cases. [2] However, it is suggested that high number of practitioners is not prepared to provide CPR, despite the training programs in effective CPR techniques. [10] Knowledge deficit in CPR affects the performance of the staff during CPR, therefore leads to poor quality of CPR, as poor-quality CPR has been revealed to have similar outcomes to victims receiving no CPR.…”

Objectives: This study attempts to identify the level of knowledge, attitude and practice of CPR among nurses in South Sharqyiah governorate, Oman. Moreover, it evaluates the association between the knowledge score and the selected variables. This will help to review the effectiveness of current CPR training, thus set up recommendations for better CPR programs. Method: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted between April and July 2019 in governmental hospitals and Primary Health care (PHC) institutions in Southern Sharqyiah Oman. A questionnaire-based survey was used to collect data from 282 registered staff nurses, including the Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) knowledge in both Basic Life support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiac Life support (ACLS), and nurses' attitude and practice towards CPR. Results: An excellent response rate of a total of 267 nurses (94.6%) took part in the study. Overall, nurses demonstrated inadequate level of knowledge in BLS their mean±SD of the total knowledge scores was 9.05±3.228. Like BLS knowledge, the participants demonstrated inadequate level of knowledge in ACLS as the total mean ±SD was 3.47±.1. 784. The study noted a significant association between the total scores of BLS knowledge and nationality (p=0.028). Conclusions: The result of this study has confirmed that knowledge of the nurses in BLS and ACLS was found to be low. The study revealed high numbers of staff nurses need to renew BLS and ACLS certificates. Thus, there is a crucial need for innovative educational interventions related to CPR. There is also a need to evaluate the knowledge and performance of CPR in clinical area such as mock drill.

Background: The ability of nurses and the other health care professionals to deal with cardiac arrest effectively depends largely on their knowledge and skills regarding the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) procedure. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the level of knowledge and skills about CPR and the factors influencing the level of CPR knowledge and skills among critical care nurses in Kuwait. Methods: To meet the purpose of this study, a descriptive, cross-sectional, and correlational design was used. A sample of 204 critical care nurses from two governmental hospitals completed the study. Three instruments were used to collect data, including the demographic questionnaire, the CPR certification exam quiz, and the Basic Life Support Skills Checklist. Results: About 56.4% of the study participants passed the skills exam about CPR. However, only 15.7% passed the knowledge test about CPR. Better CPR Knowledge was associated with working in Hospital 2, receiving formal training in CPR, and being AHA certified. Better CPR skills was related to working in Hospital 2, male gender, experience in nursing, experience in travelling with patients for seeking treatment outside Kuwait, being AHA certified, and receiving formal training in CPR (P<0.05). Conclusion: Frequent education and training in CPR in the hospital and having CPR accreditation from AHA are required for critical care nurses in order to increase their ability to save the life of critically ill patients who are at risk for cardiac arrest.

The relationship between knowledge and self-efficacy of nurses regarding early initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated defibrillation in Saudi Arabia

Background: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and early defibrillation are the most common procedures performed by nurses as the first responders to cardiac arrest patients in the hospital setting. Therefore, nurses are demanded to have high skills for effective performance. Self-efficacy and knowledge are considered significant factors affecting early initiation of CPR and automated defibrillation. However, previous studies mostly focused on nursing students instead of frontline nurses. Objective: This research aimed to assess the relationship between nurses’ knowledge and self-efficacy regarding the early initiation of CPR and automated defibrillation of cardiac arrest patients. Methods: The study employed a cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational survey. Using convenience sampling, two hundred eighty-seven nurses working in critical areas and inpatient and outpatient departments, King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH), Saudi Arabia, were selected. Resuscitation Knowledge and Self-Efficacy Scales were used for data collection (using Google Form) from November 2020 to January 2021. Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation were used for data analysis. Results: Overall, 61.3% of participants had moderate knowledge (13.659 ± 2.175), and 63.8% had high self-efficacy (44.627 ± 58.397). The highest domain of self-efficacy was responding and rescuing, while the lowest domain was debriefing and recording. There was a significant positive relationship between knowledge and self-efficacy (p <0.001; r = 0.207). Conclusion: The positive relationship explained a high level of self-efficacy if there was a high level of knowledge. Thus, it is recommended that nursing programs apply CPR and automated defibrillation curricula during nurses’ internships, clear policies and procedures about CPR and automated defibrillation, continual updates about CPR and automated defibrillation, and knowledge and continuance training (on-job-training) about CPR and automated defibrillation, which can enhance and improve knowledge and self-efficacy among health care workers, especially for nurses.
