The purpose of this study is to investigate the knowledge and performance ability of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) of physical therapist. A total of 105 physical therapists participated in this study. All participants were responded a self-administered method questionnaire to investigate the knowledge of CPR, and measured on their performance ability of CPR by Braden Pro application. We identified the performance ability of CPR and compared between educated and uneducated group. Among the 7 items on the knowledge of CPR questionnaire, educated group scored higher than uneducated group in Sequence of CPR, Ratio of compression and ventilation, Position of hands for chest compressions, Compression rate of chest and Ventilation volume. However, Depth of chest compressions and Airway maneuver were scored higher in uneducated group. The performance ability of CPR was not significantly different between two groups. However, Compression rate of chest was higher than guideline of CPR in both groups. There were inconsistent results between the knowledge and performance ability of CPR whether educated or not. This study suggests that it needs to provide repeated educations that improve knowledge and performance ability of CPR in physical therapists.
