| Objective: Cardiopulmonary (CPR) programs were developed to improve and stabilize the physical, psychological, social, mental, professional, and economic conditions of patients with cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. Although it is known that CPR reduces mortality and morbidity, it is not widely implemented as it is in Turkey. In this study, we aimed to determine the level of CPR awareness among physicians and allied health professionals. Material and Methods: This was a multi-center, cross-sectional survey study. The study included physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, and other allied health professionals who were informed about the survey and provided written consent to participate. Results: A total of 727 volunteers from 12 different centers were included in the study. Of the participants, 59.5% were physicians, 31.4% were nurses, 5.9% were physiotherapists, and 3.2% were other allied health professionals; 79.3% participants answered the question on if they have had any idea about CPR. Participants indicated that patients should be referred to cardiac pulmonary rehabilitation after a coronary artery bypass (83.8%), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (83.2%), and cardiac valve surgery (38.9%). Only 40.1% of the survey participants provided information about CPR to patients, while 20.5% did not provide any information about CPR. Conclusion: This survey study determined that in centers where CPR could be implemented, health professionals have knowledge about CPR. If the study were conducted nationwide, the level of awareness might be even lower. Although it is an idea of CPR, the level of knowledge for this issue is not adequate. As the number of the CPR centers will increase, the knowledge of doctors and allied health professionals will advance. |
