Is cardiopulmonary resuscitation training deleterious for family members of cardiac patients?

K Dracup, D K Moser, P M Guzy, S E Taylor and C Marsden

UCLA School of Nursing 90024.

The purpose of the study was to determine the attitudes toward cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training and subsequent CPR use of 172 CPR-trained family members of cardiac patients. The majority (88.9%) reported positive attitudes. Only 14 (8.1%) reported feeling too responsible for their family member. One hundred and forty-one (81.9%) said that they would perform CPR if required to do so. Family members do not feel unduly burdened by learning CPR, and CPR training should be recommended to families of patients at risk for sudden cardiac death.
