- Abstract
Objective: The study's purpose has been to assess the knowledge of academics from the health school of a private university with regards to the cardiopulmonary resuscitation care in basic life support. Methods: It is a descriptive study with a quantitative approach, which was carried out in a private university with 276 students from the nursing, physical education, physiotherapy and nutrition courses. The students answered a questionnaire on the subject. Results: In general, it was found that the interviewed students obtained a reasonable performance on the knowledge of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Nursing students with a better positive correlation of 0.8658, close to indicator 1, showed a strong correlation, followed by physical therapy students with 0.2406. Conclusion: It was possible to identify that only the students from two distinct courses obtained a significant performance, considering that it is an essential knowledge in their professional lives.
