Barriers and Willingness to Undertake Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Reported by Medical Students Dependent on Their Place of Residence—A Single-Center Study

Respondents across various locations reported similar number and types of barriers to performing CPR, including the most commonly declared fear of harm, uncertainty about recognizing cardiac arrest, and concerns about disease transmission. Although differences connected to the type of victims were observed, its low or moderate practical significance needs more comprehensive research on the impact of the size of the place of residence on the willingness to perform resuscitation and the related barriers.
