Description

Objectives：To compare confidence in and willingness to perform bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) resulting from chest compression-only CPR (CCO-CPR) training and conventional CPR training.<br> 　Methods and Results：Between November 2008 and November 2012, we administered questionnaire surveys to members of the general public who had undergone CPR training (involving basic life support (BLS) training and automated external defibrillation (AED) operation skills). Questionnaires were completed by 1224 participants (736 attended CCO-CPR training and 488 attended conventional CPR training). In both groups, a similarly high proportion of participants were satisfied with the training (95.5% vs. 94.5%, P = 0.32). However, a higher proportion of participants in the CCO-CRP group than in the conventional CPR group reported confidence in (78.7% vs. 60.6%, P < 0.0001) and willingness (84.9% vs. 76.6%, P < 0.0001) to perform CPR. Confidence in one's ability to perform chest compression in each technique did not differ between the training groups；however, the CCO-CRP group had significantly higher confidence in AED operation and understanding of the CPR protocol than the conventional CPR group (P < 0.0001).<br> 　Conclusion：CCO-CRP training can improve confidence in and willingness to perform bystander CPR compared with conventional CPR training.
