Abstract
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the restoration of cardiac output and pulmonary ventilation following cardiac arrest and apnea by using artificial respiration and manual closed chest compressions or open cardiac massage. Worldwide, there are greater than 17.5 million cardio vascular deaths each year, and the prevalence of coronary heart disease is increasing. Thus the assistance provided by the health care team requires speed, efficiency, scientific knowledge and technical skills to perform the needed procedure.The aim of this study was to assess knowledge, attitude and practice towards cardiopulmonary resuscitation among nurses working in Wolaita Sodo teaching hospital, Southern Ethiopia.A descriptive cross sectional study designed was used. Self-administered structured questionnaire conducted among a total 98 nurses working in Wolaita sodo teaching hospital by using Simple random sample (lottery method) technics. Data was collected from April 01, 2017 to April 30, 2017. Supervision had done on daily basis. The Data were first checked manually for completeness and then coded and entered in to EpiData version 3.1. The entered data were transferred to SPSS version 20. The data were cleaned by visualizing, calculating frequencies and sorting. Frequencies and proportions were computed for description of the study population. Among 98 participants 55 (56%) are BSc nurse and the rest 43 (44%) are diploma nurse. of all participants 44 (44.9%) those who have training and the rest 54(55.1%) are not trained on CPR. The untrained participants have scored poorly as compared to trained participants in theoretical knowledge and practice of CPR And Most of the participants of both trained and untrained group were having very good attitude towards CPR. Knowledge and practice skills of CPR were not adequate in participants. A significant Portion of trainees do not acquire adequate knowledge in a single session of training. An organized curriculum for BLS and its protocolized training is the need of the hour in medical education.
