Abstract

= ABSTRACT = Objectives: The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze the characteristics of which laypersons want the cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR) education. Methods: Based on a health survey(913) of 5 remote places in Korea, tests of the differences between the group that wants the CPR education(416) and the group that doesn't(497), and a logistic regression analysis of two groups was performed on socio-economic status and health-medical conditions. Results: Even the participation rate of the CPR education in Korea is only 5.8%, which is extremely lower than other developed countries, there are statistically significant differences between the group that wants the CPR and the group that doesn't on gender( 0.001), age( 0.000), education level( 0.000), economic status( 0.007), and CPR education taken( 0.000), and health status( 0.042). Furthermore, age(OR=1.599,  0.002), age(OR=0.964,  0.000), economic status(OR=0.804,  0.028), and CPR education taken(OR=2.072,  0.026) are statistically significant factors on the willingness to receive the CPR education. Conclusions: This study indicates that there is considerable variation in socio-economic status and health-medical conditions associated with the willingness to receive the CPR education. In remote places. certain subgroups of laypersons such as high-risk patients and family members need targeted outreach programs in CPR education.
