| Abstract |
Purpose
This study aimed to comprehensively analyze the impact of AED installation locations and environmental factors on resident awareness of AED locations in apartment complexes to ensure appropriate AED placement and improve resident awareness.
Methods
Public data on AED installation locations in apartment complexes in Gyeonggi-do were analyzed. Based on the results, the selected apartment complexes were surveyed using structured face-to-face questionnaires with residents.
Results
Significant differences were observed in the awareness of residents based on the AED installation location (p=.000). The highest awareness was for AEDs installed at ‘entrances of each building’ (46.6%), whereas the highest unawareness was for those in ‘management offices’ (33.7%). Factors that significantly increased awareness included having more than two AEDs (OR=1.94, p=.008), providing guidance or promotion on AED locations (OR=3.47, p=.000), and having AED training experience (OR=1.67, p=.039).
Conclusion
This study confirmed that AED installation locations significantly affect resident awareness of AED locations. For future AED placement, accessibility and visibility should be prioritized over ease of management. Continuous guidance and AED usage training can enhance the awareness regarding AED locations. |
