Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the degree of knowledge about pediatric CPR in 135 nursing college students The data was collected by a structural questionnaire completed by 135 students who agreed to participate in the study. We analyzed the data using SPSS ver. 23.0. Program. Descriptive statistics for all study variables as well as the reliability assessment of the study instruments were computed. The knowledge level of pediatric CPR was 44.24 ± 11.47 points in the range of 0∼100 points. The degree of attitude toward pediatric CPR was 15.43 ± 1.91 in the range of 5–20. Airway maintenance and artificial respiration were the highest with 64.19 ± 26.27 points, Judgment of Emergency condition 56.74 ± 19.88 points, General knowledge 51.70 ± 20.93 points and Chest compression 51.48 ± 32.86 points.
