The purpose of this study was to check if medical students of one of the Universities of Medical Sciences in Poland are prepared to do basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The research was undertaken on groups of 50 first year students and 50 sixth year students at the time when they take an exam. To have wider insight into students' ability to perform basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation, quantitative and qualitative methods were used. Students' knowledge of resuscitation was checked by a written test including open questions, their skills of doing resuscitation were checked on manikins. Students also completed a questionnaire. The results showed that first year medical students have a better knowledge of basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation compared with sixth year students. The skills of advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation are better in sixth year students compared with first year students. The study showed that skills of ventilation and chest compressions need more practice. The students' own estimation of the ability to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation both in the first and sixth years is very high, but it does not correlate with their knowledge and skills. Our conclusions indicate the need to improve the programme of teaching cardiopulmonary resuscitation with a refresher course in theory and skills at least once a year.
本研究的目的是检验波兰某医科大学的医学生是否准备好进行基本的心肺复苏。研究在两组学生中开展，一组是50名一年级学生，另一组是50名六年级学生，研究时间为他们考试的时候。为了更全面地了解学生进行基本心肺复苏的能力，采用了定量和定性的方法。通过包含开放式问题的笔试检查学生的复苏知识，在模拟人上检查他们的复苏技能。学生们还完成了一份问卷。结果显示，与六年级学生相比，一年级医学生对基本心肺复苏的知识掌握得更好。与一年级学生相比，六年级学生的高级心肺复苏技能更好。研究表明，通气和胸外按压技能需要更多练习。一年级和六年级学生对自己进行心肺复苏能力的自我评估都很高，但这与他们的知识和技能不相关。我们的结论表明，有必要改进心肺复苏教学计划，至少每年进行一次理论和技能的复习课程。
