INTRODUCTION: In today's world, knowledge of basic first aid procedures, especially cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), is crucial for overall health literacy. It is particularly important to investigate the level of knowledge among non-medical students, as they will often be called upon to respond in sudden medical situations in the future. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to assess the knowledge of non-medical students about cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Specific objectives include assessing general knowledge of CPR, analyzing differences in knowledge based on age and completed education, and determining students' attitudes toward introducing CPR into the school curriculum. METHODS: The research was conducted through a survey in May/June 2024 using the online platform Google Forms. The questionnaire included sociodemographic questions and questions to assess knowledge of CPR. A total of 155 respondents participated in the study, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the chi-square test. RESULTS: The results showed that non-medical students have a low level of knowledge about CPR, with an average of correct answers below the satisfactory level. Older students (over 56 years) showed a higher knowledge level than younger students. Students who had previously completed CPR training had better results. More than 80% of respondents believe CPR education should be introduced into the school curriculum. CONCLUSION: The study confirmed the need to improve CPR education among non-medical students. Introducing CPR education into the school curriculum could significantly increase the level of knowledge and readiness to respond in emergency medical situations, contributing to higher survival rates from cardiac arrest outside the hospital setting.
