Healthcare providers may need to initiate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) while patients are in the prone position. Healthcare providers (HCPs) must possess the necessary knowledge, skills, and experience to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the prone position (PPCPR) confidently. This study aimed to assess HCPs' preparedness to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the prone position at specialized units in Jordan's healthcare sectors.
In eight tertiary hospitals, a descriptive cross-sectional survey was carried out. An online questionnaire was conducted among 332 HCPs who were employed in the operating room, intensive care units, or interventional procedure rooms.
The majority of HCPs (73%) exhibited poor preparedness, with only 25% showing excellent preparedness, and 2% displayed an average level of preparedness. The average preparedness score was 37.14 (SD = 38.840), indicating significant variability. A lack of targeted training was associated with lower preparedness levels. Notably, HCPs with Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) training showed significantly higher preparedness.
The HCPs in Jordan are poorly prepared to perform PPCPR whenever required. However, the study findings represent a significant step towards improving HCPs' preparedness to perform PPCPR. They serve as a baseline assessment and highlight the gaps in HCPs' readiness, which helps their organizations to develop and implement targeted training strategies and interventions. Incorporating this training into hospital orientation, training programs, and clinical guidelines is vitally important to enhance HCPs' capabilities for better outcomes.
在患者处于俯卧位时，医疗服务提供者可能需要进行心肺复苏（CPR）。医疗服务提供者（HCPs）必须具备必要的知识、技能和经验，以便自信地进行俯卧位心肺复苏（PPCPR）。本研究旨在评估约旦医疗保健部门各专科单位的HCPs进行俯卧位心肺复苏的准备情况。
在八家三级医院开展了一项描述性横断面调查。对332名受雇于手术室、重症监护病房或介入治疗室的HCPs进行了在线问卷调查。
大多数HCPs（73%）准备不足，只有25%表现出优秀的准备情况，2%表现出中等准备水平。平均准备得分是37.14（标准差=38.840），表明存在显著差异。缺乏针对性培训与较低的准备水平相关。值得注意的是，接受过高级心血管生命支持（ACLS）培训的HCPs表现出显著更高的准备程度。
约旦的HCPs在需要时进行PPCPR的准备不足。然而，研究结果是朝着提高HCPs进行PPCPR的准备程度迈出的重要一步。它们作为基线评估，突出了HCPs准备方面的差距，这有助于其所在组织制定和实施针对性的培训策略及干预措施。将这种培训纳入医院入职培训、培训项目和临床指南对于提高HCPs的能力以获得更好的结果至关重要。
