ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Effective Basic Life Support (BLS) interventions, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), are essential for enhancing survival rates. This review aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions (KAP) of healthcare professionals regarding BLS in Arab countries.

Methods:

We conducted a systematic search on PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, Web of Science, and EMBASE, to identify relevant studies. We included studies performed in Arab countries that included healthcare workers' KAP assessment towards BLS. The meta-analysis was carried out utilizing the OpenMeta Analyst Software, and a subgroup analysis was performed for Nursing staff category. The quality of the included cross-sectional studies was assessed through Newcastle-Ottawa quality assessment scale.

Results:

A total of 18 studies were included in our study, and eight of them entered the analysis. The study showed that 61.3% (95% confidence interval (CI) 48.9%, 73.7%, p<0.001) of health care workers were knowledgeable about the correct CPR ratio, and 62.1% (95% CI 51.7%, 72.5%, p<0.001) answered the location of chest compression correctly. While, only 36.5% (95% CI 23.5%, 49.6%, p<0.001) had correct answers regarding the compression rate, 48.1% (95% CI 38.1%, 58.0%, p<0.001) were aware of the compression depth, and 34.8% (95% CI 22.9%, 46.7%, p<0.001) answered the sequence correctly.

Conclusion:

The study revealed a gap regarding the BLS KAP of healthcare workers in different Arab countries, which crucially requires taking actions, in terms of frequent certified training sessions, assessments, and clear protocols.
