Abstract
Purpose: This study was done to determine the effect of CPR training for lay trainees on their knowledge and attitudes. Method: This was a nonequivalent control group nonsynchronized design. The participants were 60 lay trainees who were conveniently assigned to an experimental or control group. The data were collected from July 1 to September 8, 2004 and analyzed using $x^2$-test, t-test and ANCOVA. Results: The 1st hypothesis, 'Posttest CPR knowledge scores for the experimental group will be higher than scores for the control group' was supported (F=59.44, p=0.001). The 2nd hypothesis, ""Posttest CPR attitude scores for the experimental group will be higher than scores for the control group"" was supported (F=29.94, p=0.001). Conclusion: This CPR training was effective in increasing the levels of knowledge and attitude for the lay CPR trainees.
