ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to examine factors influencing willingness to perform bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) among elementary, middle and high school students. The data were collected from 5,619 students in a city in Korea and analyzed by a hierarchical multiple logistic regression model. About 57.0% of the students reported that they had an intention to perform CPR on a stranger. Gender, school type, experience in observing automated external defibrillator (AED), awareness of the Good-Samaritan law, experience in bystander CPR, positive attitude toward bystander CPR and self-efficacy were found to be significant factors of willingness to perform bystander CPR among the students. Training programs designed to enhance positive attitude and self-efficacy of learners would strengthen willingness to perform bystander CPR among students.
