MIGUEL BARREIRA PRETO, Pedro; PIRES MAGALHAES, Carlos e MARIA PIRES DA SILVA FERNANDES, Adília. Knowledge about basic life support in higher education health students. Rev. Enf. Ref. [online]. 2021, vol.serV, n.8, e20182. Epub 02-Mar-2022. ISSN 0874-0283. https://doi.org/10.12707/rv20182.
Background:
Cardiac arrest (CA) is a serious problem that requires the immediate intervention of third parties using basic life support (BLS).
Objectives:
To assess higher education health students’ knowledge about BLS and analyze the associations between level of knowledge and sociodemographic, academic, and socio-educational variables.
Methodology:
Quantitative correlational cross-sectional study in a sample of higher education students.
Results:
The sample consisted of 683 students, with a mean age of 21 years, mostly women. The mean knowledge score was 11.79 points, on a scale of 0 to 20. There was a statistically significant association between the level of knowledge and the program, the year of study, having attended a BLS course/training, and having attended course units with BLS content.
Conclusion:
The mean scores reflect a sufficient level of knowledge, with the following groups obtaining higher scores: 4th-year students, nursing program, and previous BLS training.
