Abstract

Background: Nurses are expected to use cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques because they are skilled at caring for patients with life-threatening diseases.Aim: To assess nurses' knowledge of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and to identify the relationship between nurses' knowledge of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and some demographic variables.Methods: 41 nurses from the Emergency Teaching Hospital in Sulaimani City participated in this study. A non-probability convenience sampling technique was applied. The study used questionnaires designed according to the 2010 AHA guidelines for assessing knowledge of cardiopulmonary resuscitation.Results: The result of the present study indicates that most nurses had fair knowledge of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (%63.4), More than a fourth (%26.8) had good knowledge, and only (%9.8) had poor knowledge. Knowledge of nurses affected by marital status (p < 0.05).Conclusions: This study has revealed that most nurses at the Emergency Teaching Hospital in Sulaimani City had good knowledge about cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and there is a significant association between marital status and the level of knowledge of CPR. P value < 0.05.Recommendation: Based on the study's findings, we recommend improving the education of cardiopulmonary resuscitation among nurses in Emergency Teaching Hospital, which will help reduce the rate of mortality from cardiac arrest in the community.
