Level and determinants of advanced life support knowledge among nurses in Spain: A national cross-sectional study

The study shows that Spanish general nurses have insufficient knowledge of advanced life support and that there are evident knowledge gaps in key subject areas relating to best practices for cardiorespiratory arrests. This indicates that they require knowledge building to promote evidence-based patient care. Furthermore, the findings emphasize the significance of ongoing education needed to respond to high-risk events such as a cardiac arrest. The positive and negative factors identified in this study, which influence the attainment of a good level of advanced life support knowledge, should be taken into account.
