Abstract

Objectives
In this study, we aimed to investigate the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)-related knowledge, attitude, and performance among dental hygienists working in the hospitals. We believe that it is important to develop CPR education programs that would enable dental hygienists to offer accurate and timely aid in emergency situations.
Methods
From June 20 to August 20, 2019, 220 dental hygienists at seven selected dental hospitals located in Gwangju Metropolitan City and Jeollanam-do, South Korea were requested to fill a questionnaire as part of a survey. The data regarding the general characteristics, CPR-related characteristics, and CPR-related knowledge, approach, and performance were collected, and analyzed using independent t-tests, oneway analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and simple regression analysis using the SPSS Windows ver. 25.0.
Results
Correlation analysis revealed that high CPR-related knowledge and a more positive approach towards CPR are both associated with high confidence in performing CPR (r=0.37, r=0.415, r=0.605). Furthermore, factors, such as high CPR-related knowledge, positive attitude towards CPR, knowledge regarding the location of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in the hospital, and AED training experience significantly affects the CPR-related performance.
Conclusions
Therefore, it is important to develop systematic and beneficial educational programs and provide and update educational material regularly in dental hospitals with an aim to improve CPR-related knowledge and attitude among the dental hygienists.
