Background.
Sudden cardiac arrest is a major public health problem in the world.
Immediate initiation of high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) significantly increased patient survival rate.
Therefore, it is very important to train young people and increase public awareness of CPR for the long-term benefit of the community.
Objective.
We aimed at estimating the level of knowledge and attitude towards cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) among the university students in the northern region of Saudi Arabia.
Methodology.
A cross-sectional, prospective study was conducted among the students of four northern region universities of Saudi Arabia (Jouf, Hail, Northern Borders, and Tabuk) between March and November 2017.
A self-administered questionnaire was prepared in both Arabic and English languages and distributed to all the participants.
All the data were collected and analyzed by using SPSS version 21.
Results.
A total of 947 students from four universities completed the questionnaire: Jouf (57%), Hail (15%), Northern Borders (13%), and Tabuk (15%).
Although 72% of students have previous knowledge about CPR, 49% of them lack knowledge about a medical emergency.
Moreover, 59% failed to answer regarding CPR where only 41% wrote the ABC steps in the correct sequence.
However, 67% of the participants had very poor knowledge, 89% of participants desired to receive additional CPR training course, and 49% of the students thought that CPR training should be a mandatory graduation requirement for all universities.
There were no significant differences between male and female students.
Students from medicine-related colleges have significantly (p<0.001) more knowledge and scored better compared with non-medicine-related colleges.
Tabuk University scored better compared to the others, but the overall knowledge and attitude scored were low.
Conclusions.
Overall knowledge about CPR among the university students was not satisfactory; however, attitude towards CRP training was very positive.
Our results suggested that there is a need for improvement of CPR education among Saudi university students, which will help to reduce the cardiac arrest mortality rate among the community.
