Abstrakt:	Abstract: Background: Out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in infants or toddlers mainly occurs at home. Therefore, parents should be able to perform immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) when they witness OHCA. The status of knowledge regarding CPR among parents, however, remains unclear. The aim of the present study was therefore to determine the factors associated with awareness of CPR in parents of 3‐year‐old children. Methods: We analyzed a subset of data from a population‐based, cross‐sectional survey that served as an evaluation of a national campaign for maternal and child health in Japan. The questionnaire was distributed to 32 897 parents who visited public health centers for medical check‐ups for their children in 2013. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was carried out using the obtained demographic data. Results: Overall, 26 971 parents (82.0%) responded to the questionnaire. On multivariate logistic regression analysis, birth order of the child, age of the mother at delivery, awareness of medical facilities for emergency services at night or during the weekend, current occupation status of the mother, and current economic status were independently associated with CPR awareness. When the mother was employed but the parents felt economically insufficient, the probability of having CPR knowledge decreased by 19%. Regardless of the parents’ economic stability, the probability of having CPR knowledge declined by >35% when the mother was unemployed. Conclusions: The current occupation status of mothers and the current parent economic status should be considered when planning educational strategies regarding CPR training for parents.
