Current Knowledge and Awareness Level of Health Personnel on Basic Life Support

Öz

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the knowledge and awareness of health personnel regarding basic life support. Materials and Methods: A ten-question questionnaire was prepared based on the American Heart Association's Basic Life Support guidelines and the European Resuscitation Council's COVID-19 guidelines, updated in 2020. was used to measure the participants' demographic characteristics, basic life support training, practice status, and knowledge levels. The study was completed with the participation of 421. The health personnel were grouped according to the departments in which they worked and the status of their healthcare provision, and the data were compared between the groups. The first group consisted of personnel who did not provide healthcare, and the second group consisted of those who provided healthcare services. Results: The study was completed with 158 participants in the first group and 263 participants in the second group. Approximately 70% of the participants in both groups had received basic life support training. The basic life support knowledge level was good in the second group and low in the first group. There was no statistically significant difference in gender, age, or length of service regarding basic life support scores. The total basic life support score was higher for information processing personnel and laboratory technicians in the first group and for doctors in the second group compared to other occupational groups. In both groups, knowledge of basic life support and the use of automatic external defibrillators was not up to date. However, the knowledge of basic life support and personal protective equipment among patients with COVID-19 was up to date. Conclusions: The basic life support knowledge level differs among health personnel in the department and occupation. Enhancing participation in basic life support training, updating the training, and increasing practical applications may improve the knowledge and education level of healthcare personnel.
