Purposes: The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors associated with knowledge, attitudes, and demand for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training among middle-aged and older community volunteers. Methods: A cross-sectional study design and convenience sampling were used. The study participants were community volunteers aged≥45 years. Data collection included a basic demographics form, CPR knowledge questionnaire, CPR attitude scale, and a questionnaire assessing demand for CPR classes. The statistical methods used included the t-test for independent samples, one-way analysis of variance, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient for correlation analysis. Results: This study enrolled 161 community volunteers. The average age was 65.57±8.56 years, and 85.1% of the patients were female. The results showed that middle-aged and older community volunteers had moderate CPR knowledge, positive CPR attitudes, and a relatively high demand for CPR classes. A significant positive correlation was observed between knowledge of CPR, attitude toward CPR, and demand for CPR classes. Conclusions: Middle-aged and older community volunteers with better knowledge and attitudes toward CPR have a higher demand for CPR training. Volunteer organizations are recommended to continue implementing regular CPR training and appropriate teaching methods for different age groups to further promote demand and willingness among middle-aged and older volunteers. The results of this study provide a reference for community volunteering organizations to plan CPR classes for middle-aged and older volunteers. |
