description Mirresa Guteta Nursing Department, College of Medicine and Health Science, Mizan-Tepi University, Mizan-Aman, EthiopiaCorrespondence: Mirresa Guteta, Email mirresag143@gmail.comBackground: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is one of the basic lifesaving medical procedures which is performed for a patient with an emergency such as cardiac arrest, suffocation, near-dying, or circumstance that results in cardiac or pulmonary failure or both.Objective: To assess factors affecting the practice of cardiopulmonary resuscitation among nurses at Mizan Tepi University Teaching Hospital, Tepi General Hospital, and Gebretsadik Shawo Hospital.Methods: Institution-based cross-sectional study which was supported by qualitative data conducted from March 20 to April 20, 2021. Nurses who answered ≥ 7 CPR practice questions correctly were considered to have good practice. Data were entered into EpiData version 4.4 and exported to SPSS version 23 for data analysis. A multivariable logistic regression model was fitted, adjusted odds ratio (AOR) at 95% confidence interval and p-value < 0.05 were estimated to determine the statistically significant association between predictors and outcome variable. Qualitative data were analyzed based on thematic content.Results: The prevalence of good practice towards CPR was 31.8% (95% CI: 27.5– 36.3) in the study area. Experience of 6– 10 years (AOR = 2.27, 95% CI: 1.25– 4.13) and > 10 years (AOR= 1.81, 95% CI: 1.10– 2.98), rarely (AOR = 3.77, 95% CI: 1.26– 11.30) or actively (AOR = 4.60, 95% CI: 1.51– 13.98) involved in CPR practice, assigned to emergency department (AOR = 1.02, 95% CI: 0.55– 1.90), having CPR good knowledge (AOR = 1.37, 95% CI: 0.28– 2.14) and having a nursing degree (AOR = 1.54, 95% CI: 0.93– 2.54) were predictors of CPR good practice.Conclusion: Nurses’ good practice towards cardiopulmonary resuscitation was low. Therefore, efforts should be taken to enhance nurses’ practice towards cardiopulmonary resuscitation.Keywords: practice, nurse, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, associated factors
