Abstract
Objective:
This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practices related to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) among nursery and kindergarten teachers in Al Ahsa, Saudi Arabia.
Methods:
A cross-sectional, exploratory survey was conducted among 360 nursery and kindergarten teachers in Al Ahsa. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that assessed demographic factors, knowledge, attitudes, and barriers to CPR training and practice.
Results:
Of the 148 participants, all were females, and 50.7% were aged between 32 and 41 years. The majority (92.6%) held a university degree, yet 77% of the participants demonstrated inadequate knowledge of CPR. Only 23.6% had undergone formal CPR training, with 39.6% cited a lack of knowledge on where to obtain training as the primary barrier. Despite these gaps, 91.2% of participants expressed willingness to attend CPR training in the future. Additionally, 72.3% agreed that every school should be equipped with an automated external defibrillator (AED), although only 27.7% believed anyone could use one.
Conclusion:
This study revealed significant gaps in CPR knowledge and preparedness among nursery and kindergarten teachers in Al Ahsa, Saudi Arabia. There was a strong need for mandatory, accessible CPR training and education on the use of AEDs. Improving CPR skills and confidence among teachers could potentially lead to better emergency preparedness and improved outcomes in school settings.

Key words: KAP, kindergarten, nursery teachers, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, Saudi Arabia.
