  • This study examined the level of knowledge, attitude, and performance ability of automated external defibrillator (AED) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) among university students who were not in health-related majors and to explore the relationships among these variables. In this study, 291 students were recruited from 3 universities in D city. Among them, 77.0% had ever seen or heard of AED and 61.9% did not know how to use it. The levels of knowledge, attitudes and performance ability differed significantly according to the CPR training experience and AED awareness (p<.002~.001). The performance ability showed significant correlations with knowledge (r=. 42, p<.001) and attitude (r=. 55, p<.001) of AED and CPR. These findings suggest that future AED and CPR training programs should be developed to promote a positive attitude towards the willingness to perform AED and CPR as well as to increase the participants' confidence by repeated training.
