Satisfactory experience about basic life support (BLS) is crucial to ensure rapid and efficient delivery of essential life-saving care during emergency situations.
To assess BLS experience among health profession students at King Khalid University (KKU), Southwestern Saudi Arabia.
A cross-sectional study was conducted on a representative sample of male and female health profession students, during the academic year 2019-2020. A self-reported questionnaire was utilized to collect data about BLS experiences, which included receiving BLS training, reasons for not having BLS training, suggestions to improve BLS training, encountering a situation that required the use of BLS, practicing BLS when needed and reasons for not practicing BLS when needed.
Out of 1261 health profession students, 590 received formal BLS training with a prevalence rate of 46.8% (95% CI: 44.0-49.6), and 46.0% of them trained at the university. Important obstacles for non-attendance included busy academic schedule (54.7%) and high cost of the training course (18%). Overall, 84.1% supported integration of BLS training into their college curricula. Almost 26% encountered a situation that required BLS; however, only 32.4% responded. Through multivariate regression, the significant determinant of response was having formal BLS training (aOR = 4.24, 95% CI: 2.38-7.54). The frequent reasons for non-response were lack of adequate BLS knowledge (35.0%), nervousness (22.8%), and that the victim was of opposite sex (9.0%).
It is recommended that more emphasis should be given to BLS training among undergraduates of health profession colleges in Southwestern Saudi Arabia. It is recommended that BLS training be integrated into health profession college curricula. Including BLS training as a graduation requirement for health profession students might motivate students to attain BLS training courses.
基本生命支持（BLS）的满意体验对于确保在紧急情况下迅速有效地提供基本救生护理至关重要。
评估沙特阿拉伯西南部国王哈利德国王大学（KKU）的卫生专业学生的 BLS 体验。
在 2019-2020 学年，对男性和女性卫生专业学生进行了一项代表性的横断面研究。使用自我报告问卷收集有关 BLS 体验的数据，包括接受 BLS 培训、未接受 BLS 培训的原因、改进 BLS 培训的建议、遇到需要使用 BLS 的情况、需要时进行 BLS 实践以及不需要时不进行 BLS 实践的原因。
在 1261 名卫生专业学生中，有 590 名接受了正规的 BLS 培训，流行率为 46.8%（95%可信区间：44.0-49.6），其中 46.0%在大学接受培训。未参加培训的重要障碍包括学业繁忙（54.7%）和培训课程费用高（18%）。总体而言，84.1%的人支持将 BLS 培训纳入大学课程。近 26%的人遇到需要 BLS 的情况；然而，只有 32.4%做出了回应。通过多变量回归，回应的显著决定因素是接受过正规的 BLS 培训（优势比=4.24，95%可信区间：2.38-7.54）。不回应的常见原因是缺乏足够的 BLS 知识（35.0%）、紧张（22.8%）和受害者为异性（9.0%）。
建议在沙特阿拉伯西南部的卫生专业学院的本科生中更加重视 BLS 培训。建议将 BLS 培训纳入卫生专业学院的课程。将 BLS 培训作为卫生专业学生的毕业要求，可能会激励学生参加 BLS 培训课程。
