Methods: The study was conducted with 250 hospital staffs in B hospital located in Busan. The survey data were collected from August 1 to September 15, 2012 and were analyzed using frequencies, percentages, means, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression with the SPSS WIN 19.0 program. Results: There were statistically significant differences in performance ability of CPR depending on occupations, CPR experience, CPR situations, identification of Automated external defibrillator (AED) location within the hospital, AED use experience, CPR training experience and AED training experience. A significant positive correlation was found between CPR knowledge and performance ability in addition to a significant positive correlation between CPR attitude and to performance ability. The significant factors influencing performance ability of CPR were CPR attitude, occupations, CPR training experience, knowledge and identification of AED location within the hospital.
