Objective : This study is an experimental study which is designed to examine the differences
between knowledge and self-confidence before and after theory education(CPR PPT material)
based on guidelines of CPR and emergency cardiac treatment of American Heart
Association(AHA, 2005) and video self-instruction program for the general public by Korean
Association of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation(KACPR), trace CPR performance ability after CPR
and AED education and investigate the accuracy of artificial respiration and chest compression,
and know the difference in CPR performance abilities including AED.
Methods : Subjects of this study include ground crews and staffs at M airport in G province
equipped with emergency equipments for CPR according to Art. 47, Sec. 2 of Emergency
Medical Law, airport police, rent-a-cops, security guard, quarantine officer, custom officer,
and communication, electricity, civil engineering, facility management staff, airport fire
fighting staff, air mechanic, traffic controller, and airport management team among airport
facility management staffs. They were given explanation of necessity of research and 147 of
220 subjects who gave consent to this research but 73 who were absent from survey were
excluded were used as subjects of this study. of 147 subjects, there were 102 men and 45
women.
Results :
1) Knowledge score of CPR was 6.18±0.87 before instruction and it was increased to
15.12±1.78 after instruction, and there was statistically significant difference.
2) Self-confidence score in CPR was 3.16±0.96 before instruction and it was increased to
7.05±0.75 after instruction, and there was statistically significant difference.
3) Total average score in CPR performance ability after instruction was 7.46 out of 9,
performance ability was highest in confirmation of response as 144(97.95%), follwed by request
of help as 140(95.25%) and confirmation of respiration as 135(91.83%), and lowest in
performing artificial respiration twice(gross elevation of chest) as 97(65.98%). Accuracy of
artificial respiration(%) was 28.60±16.88 and that of chest compression(%) was 73.10±22.16.
4) Performance ability of AED after instruction showed proper performance in power on by
141(95.91%) and attaching pad by 135(91.83%), hand-off for analyzing rhythm showed ‘accuracy’
in 115(78.23%) and ‘non-performance’ in 32(21.77%), delivery of shock and hand-off
confirmation showed ‘accuracy’ in 109(74.14%) and ‘inaccuracy’ in 38(25.86%), and beginning
chest compression immediately after AED was done by 105(71.42%).
