Survey of cognitive ctatus and training demands on cardiopulmonary resuscitation for drivers in Urumqi

Abstract

Objective To explore the status of mastering knowledge and training demands on cardiopulmonary resuscitation （ CPR ） for the drivers in Urumqi , so as to provide scientific evidence and proposals for CPR training .Methods A total of 304 drivers were randomly selected in Urumqi and received the＆amp;nbsp;survey by using a self-designed questionnaire .Questionnaire including demographics , CPR-related knowledge and attitudes, training status and demands .Results The level of drivers ’ theoretical cognitive knowledge on CPR was poor in Urumqi, with the pass rate was low（15.79%）.No person can master correctly CPR practical skills, 75.66% of drivers thought that artificial respiration must be carried out by the medical staff , only 51.32%of drivers were willing to participate in on-site first aid, only 7.90% of drivers considered they were very confident when they carried out CPR .Han group scores of theoretical knowledge were higher than minority group , total scores of the college and above group were the highest in three groups , total scores of the driving age less 5 years group were the highest in three groups , the differences were statistically significant （P〈0.05）. Besides, drivers who received CPR training only accounted for 33 drivers （10.86%）,284 drivers （93.42%） considered it was necessary and willing to learn CPR first aid knowledge .For training methods they chose that , through the medical staff to explain 242 （ 79 .61%） , through health education seminars law 64 drivers （21.05%）,242 drivers （79.61%） chose to integrate theory with simulation exercises .Conclusions The drivers’ theory and skills on CPR is generally poor in Urumqi , their cognitive knowledge on CPR needs to be improved, and drivers showed strong demands on CPR trainings .So some measures should be taken to strengthen the trainings .
