To assess the awareness, attitude, and knowledge about basic life support (BLS) among medical, dental, and nursing students and faculties and the proposal of BLS skills in the academic curriculum of undergraduate (UG) course. Recognition, prevention, and effective management of life-threatening emergencies are the responsibility of health-care professionals. These situations can be successfully managed by proper knowledge and training of the BLS skills. These life-saving maneuvers can be given through the structured resuscitation programs, which are lacking in the academic curriculum.
A questionnaire study consisting of 20 questions was conducted among 659 participants in the Kalinga Institute of Dental Sciences, Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences, KIIT University. Medical junior residents, BDS faculties, interns, nursing faculties, and 3-year and final-year UG students from both medical and dental colleges were chosen. The statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS software version 20.0 (Armonk, NY:IBM Corp).
After collecting the data, the values were statistically analyzed and tabulated. Statistical analysis was performed using Mann-Whitney U-test. The results with < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Our participants were aware of BLS, showed positive attitude toward it, whereas the knowledge about BLS was lacking, with the statistically significant value.
By introducing BLS regularly in the academic curriculum and by routine hands on workshops, all the health-care providers should be well versed with the BLS skills for effectively managing the life-threatening emergencies.
评估医学、牙科和护理专业的学生及教师对基本生命支持（BLS）的认知、态度和知识，以及在本科（UG）课程学术课程中纳入BLS技能的提议。识别、预防和有效管理危及生命的紧急情况是医疗保健专业人员的责任。通过对BLS技能的适当知识和培训，可以成功应对这些情况。这些救生操作可以通过结构化的复苏计划进行传授，而学术课程中缺乏此类计划。
在卡林加牙科学院、卡林加医学院、KIIT大学的659名参与者中进行了一项包含20个问题的问卷调查。选取了医学初级住院医师、牙医学士教师、实习生、护理教师以及来自医学院和牙科学院的本科三年级和四年级学生。使用SPSS软件20.0版（纽约州阿蒙克：IBM公司）进行统计分析。
收集数据后，对数值进行了统计分析并制成表格。使用曼-惠特尼U检验进行统计分析。P<0.05的结果被认为具有统计学意义。我们的参与者了解BLS，对其态度积极，但对BLS的知识缺乏，具有统计学意义的P值。
通过在学术课程中定期引入BLS并举办常规实践工作坊，所有医疗保健提供者都应熟练掌握BLS技能，以有效管理危及生命的紧急情况。
