Summary
Jordanian radiographers show poor knowledge but positive attitudes towards Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). Continuous training is recommended to improve CPR knowledge and skills among these healthcare professionals.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Emergency Medicine
- Radiography
Background:
- Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a critical emergency procedure.
- Assessing healthcare professionals' knowledge and attitudes is vital for effective emergency response.
- Radiographers play a role in patient care and may encounter emergency situations.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of Jordanian radiographers regarding CPR.
- To identify factors influencing radiographers' CPR knowledge and attitudes.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional study was conducted with 359 Jordanian radiographers.
- Data were collected via an online questionnaire assessing demographics, CPR knowledge, and attitudes.
- Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS, with P-values <0.05 considered significant.
Main Results:
- Radiographers demonstrated a mean CPR knowledge score of 5.74/10 and a mean attitude score of 3.94/5.
- Those with prior CPR training had significantly higher knowledge scores (P<0.001).
- Knowledge positively correlated with age, work experience, and attitude towards CPR.
Conclusions:
- Jordanian radiographers possess inadequate CPR knowledge but generally hold positive attitudes.
- Previous CPR training and educational level are key factors associated with better knowledge and attitudes.
- Continuous CPR training is recommended to enhance radiographers' proficiency in emergency care.

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

The respiratory system's basic structures and primary functions lay the foundation for nurses' comprehensive respiratory assessments. This assessment includes subjective and objective data to gauge the patient's respiratory health.
Subjective Assessment: Nurses interview the patient to gather information directly during the subjective assessment. It includes questions about the individual's medical history, medications, and symptoms, focusing on past respiratory conditions like...

A thorough assessment of respiratory health is paramount in clinical settings to identify and manage respiratory distress and ensure adequate oxygenation. This article elaborates on the critical aspects of respiratory evaluation, including airway assessment, skin color examination, and the observation of accessory muscle use, which are integral to effectively diagnosing and managing patients with respiratory conditions.

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Description
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Apical-Radial (A-R) Pulse Assessment
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.
