Overview

Cross-sectional survey assessed BLS knowledge in 402 Gaza healthcare workers, highlighting urgent training needs.

Key Points

  • Most participants demonstrated high BLS knowledge on critical aspects, yet significant knowledge gaps were evident.
  • Only 37.56% were willing to perform mouth-to-mouth ventilation on the opposite sex, indicating practical hesitations.
  • Prior BLS training significantly enhanced knowledge and practice scores, underlining the importance of refresher training.
  • The findings call for targeted BLS training programs to address identified deficiencies and improve emergency preparedness.
