This was the first study that evaluated cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) knowledge in a sample of occupational therapists and investigated whether the knowledge of CPR parameters affected their perceived stress levels related to providing CPR. A questionnaire, consisting of 4 clusters of questions, was pretested and used in an online survey of Slovenian occupational therapists. The survey was sent to all electronic addresses obtained from the Association of Occupational Therapists of Slovenia and the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Ljubljana. It was completed by 201 occupational therapists, which represented about 40% of all Slovenian occupational therapists. Data were analyzed using independent-samples -test, 1-way ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficient. On average, the participants scored 5.44 points (SD = 2.96) on the CPR knowledge test that had a maximum of 9 points. A weak negative correlation existed between the perceived level of stress and scores on the knowledge test ( = -0.151; = .05). Scores on the knowledge test were also negatively correlated with age ( = -0.409; < .001) and work experience ( = -0.388; < .001) and positively correlated with self-evaluation of knowledge of CPR ( = 0.366; < .001). The majority of the participants (92.3%) felt that they needed to update their CPR knowledge. There was no statistically significant difference in the CPR knowledge between occupational therapists working in different clinical areas ( = .85). Our sample of occupational therapists was not optimally prepared to apply CPR. Older and more experienced therapists demonstrated less theoretical knowledge and were particularly vulnerable to stress. To improve knowledge and confidence, regular CPR training is recommended for this group of health professionals.
这是第一项评估职业治疗师群体中心肺复苏术（CPR）知识的研究，并调查了对 CPR 参数的了解是否会影响他们提供 CPR 时的感知压力水平。一份由 4 个问题群组成的问卷经过了预测试，并用于对斯洛文尼亚职业治疗师的在线调查。该调查通过斯洛文尼亚职业治疗师协会和卢布尔雅那大学健康科学学院获得的所有电子地址发送给所有职业治疗师。共有 201 名职业治疗师完成了调查，占所有斯洛文尼亚职业治疗师的 40%左右。数据使用独立样本 t 检验、单因素方差分析和 Pearson 相关系数进行分析。参与者在 CPR 知识测试中的平均得分为 5.44 分（标准差=2.96），满分为 9 分。感知压力水平与知识测试得分之间存在微弱的负相关（r=-0.151，p=0.05）。知识测试得分与年龄（r=-0.409，p<.001）和工作经验（r=-0.388，p<.001）呈负相关，与对 CPR 知识的自我评估呈正相关（r=0.366，p<.001）。大多数参与者（92.3%）认为他们需要更新 CPR 知识。从事不同临床领域工作的职业治疗师之间的 CPR 知识没有统计学上的显著差异（t=0.85）。我们的职业治疗师样本在应用 CPR 方面准备不足。年龄较大和经验较丰富的治疗师表现出较少的理论知识，并且特别容易感到压力。为了提高知识和信心，建议为这群卫生专业人员定期进行 CPR 培训。
