Factors Associated with Cardiac Arrest Knowledge Among Health Professionals in Brazil

Eduardo Moreira Novaes Neto authored a cross-sectional study of 100 health professionals at a large public hospital in Bahia, Brazil. The research evaluated factors associated with knowledge of cardiac arrest using a questionnaire based on 2015 American Heart Association guidelines. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics and logistic regression to identify associations with insufficient knowledge.

Use Cases

• Predicting insufficient knowledge of cardiac arrest based on professional category and work schedule.
• Analyzing the association between training frequency and knowledge retention among health professionals.
• Evaluating the impact of sociodemographic and occupational characteristics on clinical guideline knowledge.

Strengths

• Includes data from 100 health professionals (18 doctors, 32 nurses, 50 nursing technicians).
• Uses a validated questionnaire constructed according to 2015 American Heart Association guidelines.
• Applies logistic regression modeling to identify statistically significant associations (p < 0.05).

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Data is from a single hospital in Brazil, which may reflect geographic and institutional bias.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
