Magister Curationis - MCur / Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a core emergency skill in which all
nurses need to be proficient to save the lives of patients. It is important for nurses working in
psychiatric hospitals to administer CPR correctly should the need arise. However, they rarely
perform CPR as the patients they care for are generally not physical ill, unlike patients
admitted in general hospitals. Given the paucity of literature on CPR in psychiatric hospitals,
this study aimed at investigating the attitudes towards CPR and the CPR competency of
nurses working at a hospital for intellectually disabled people in the Western Cape, South
Africa
