Resumo

Education in basic life support is widely proposed to increase survival in out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest. The authors aimed to assess knowledge, skills, and attitudes, including willingness to help, regarding myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac arrest among university students of all fields of knowledge. Methods: An Ethical Research Committee approved this cross-sectional study. An electronic survey "KIDS SAVE LIVES BRAZIL" was sent to 58,862 students of 82 disciplines in three universities, aged >= 18 years. The survey covered three categories: knowledge, skills, and attitude. Each category was graded between 0 and 10 points (the highest). Results: Among students, 4,803 undergraduates (8.2 %) answered the survey, and were divided into three groups of disciplines: medicine (219, similar to 21.7 years, 38 % male), other-healthcare (n = 1,058; similar to 22.9 years; 36 % male), and non-health-care (n = 3,526; similar to 22.9 years; 35 % male). All three groups showed significant differences between them (p < 0.001). The non-health-care compared with medicine and other healthcare groups showed, respectively, the lowest median scores (25 %-75 %) in knowledge (4.0 [0.0-9.3], 4.0 [4.0-8.0], and 4.0 [4.0-4.7]), skills (2.4 [1.2-3.3], 6.4 [4.0-8.3], 4.0 [2.4-6.2]), and attitude (5.9 [5.9-6.8], 7.3 [5.9-7.3], and 7.3 [5.9-7.3]). Conclusion: University students who answered the e-survey have the willingness to help victims suffering from myocardial infarction or sustaining sudden cardiac arrest. However, non healthcare students markedly lack the knowledge and skills to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated external defibrillation. These findings reveal a stark difference in basic life support competencies between students in related healthcare fields and those in non-health fields, emphasizing the need for universal basic life support training.
