Abstract
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a simple yet effective life-saving procedure that can significantly improve survival rates in emergencies when performed promptly and competently. Sudden cardiac arrest, a leading global cause of death, underscores the importance of timely CPR administration for successful resuscitation. This study aims to assess the knowledge and attitudes toward CPR among the non-medical population in Bisha, Saudi Arabia, in 2023.

Methods:
This descriptive cross-sectional study surveyed 519 non-medical participants in Bisha City in 2023, utilizing an online survey. Data analysis was implemented by RStudio (R version 4.2.2.). Frequencies and percentages were used to express categorical variables, whereas numerical variables were presented as the median and interquartile range (IQR)

Results:
The study analyzed responses from 477 participants. The median CPR knowledge score was 7.0 (IQR: 5.0 to 8.0), ranging from one to 14. No significant differences in knowledge scores were observed across demographic groups. Of the participants, 42.8% exhibited a good knowledge level. Knowledge levels did not significantly differ based on demographic characteristics. Approximately 71.9% of participants had not received CPR training, mainly due to a lack of awareness about training locations. Nevertheless, 80.5% expressed a desire for CPR training

Key words: Knowledge, attitude, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, Bisha, nonmedical population.
