Introduction:
Resuscitation knowledge is necessery for emergency care workers.
Aim:
The aim of the authors was to investigate the advanced life support knowledge of paramedic students in Hungary.
Method:
The research has been executed at University of Pécs - Faculty of Health Sciences, Semmelweis University - Faculty of Health Sciences, and University of Debrecen - Faculty of Health Care. 97 students (n = 97) were involved in the study from third and fourth grades. Data were recorded with a self-fill-in questionnaire.
Results:
Average scores were 67.79%. There was no significant difference between women and men (p = 0.725). Younger age improved significantly scores (p = 0.003). Full-time students completed the test significantly better than part-time students (p = 0.004). There was no significant difference between the students from different locations (p = 0.254).
Conclusions:
It would be appropriate to increase the number of resuscitation courses and to tighten the exams. The authors propose that it would be reasonable to examine the students' practical skills. Orv. Hetil., 2016, 157(37), 1476-1482.
