Knowledge and training willingness toward cardiopulmonary resuscitation among healthcare professionals in a tertiary rehabilitation hospital: a cross-sectional study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: In-hospital cardiac arrest represents a significant public health challenge, with bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) being crucial for survival. While rehabilitation hospitals primarily focus on chronic care, cardiac emergencies remain a critical concern due to patient vulnerability. However, limited research has investigated CPR competency among healthcare professionals in rehabilitation settings, particularly in developing countries where training resources may be constrained. Objective: To evaluate CPR knowledge levels and training willingness among healthcare professionals in a tertiary rehabilitation hospital in China, identify factors independently associated with competency, and provide evidence-based recommendations for targeted training program development. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted at a 500-bed tertiary rehabilitation hospital in China from March to June 2024. Using stratified random sampling, 372 healthcare professionals (response rate: 93.9%) were recruited from six clinical departments. The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board (WZ-2024-045). A validated questionnaire comprising demographic characteristics, CPR knowledge assessment (50 items), and learning willingness evaluation was administered. The questionnaire was operationalized within the Health Belief Model (HBM) and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) frameworks. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 26.0, including descriptive statistics, ANOVA, multivariate linear regression with multicollinearity diagnostics, and residual analysis. Results: The overall CPR knowledge score was 62.45 ± 15.73 (range: 28-94), significantly below the 80-point competency threshold recommended by the 2020 American Heart Association Guidelines. Significant variations were observed across professional titles ( Conclusion: Healthcare professionals in rehabilitation hospitals demonstrate suboptimal CPR knowledge with significant interdepartmental variations, falling substantially below international standards. Despite knowledge gaps, high training willingness (> 90%) provides opportunities for successful program implementation. Professional title, department type, years of experience, and recent training are independently associated with CPR competency. Department-specific, competency-based training programs addressing unique rehabilitation scenarios are urgently needed. Implementation should prioritize: (1) simulation-based quarterly sessions targeting staff with scores < 60 points, (2) flexible scheduling with micro-learning modules to address workload barriers, and (3) age-stratified training protocols for staff ≥ 45 years. Long-term strategies should include inter-institutional research networks and certification programs to establish specialized emergency care standards.
