Attitudes and willingness toward out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation: a questionnaire study among the public trained online in China.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The incidence of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is low in China. CPR training could improve public attitudes and willingness, but at present, the attitudes of the public after online training are unclear. This study investigated individual attitudes towards CPR, the willingness to perform it in emergencies along with the main obstacles and the overall effects of online training.

Design

Questionnaires were distributed to investigate the public attitudes and willingness towards performing bystander CPR.

Setting

Questionnaires were accessible after the online course 'First Aid'.

Participants

1888 students who attended 'First Aid' from December 2019 to 1 January 2020 and then completed the questionnaire voluntarily.
