Methodology: A convenience sampling and cross-sectional study design was used for the present study.The Theory of Planned Behavior(TPB) provide the framework for the study，to investigate behavior intention toward cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) among undergraduate nursing students. A self-developed investigational questionnaire was used. Totally 192 valid questionnaires were collected from two of university of science and technology's nursing students in South of Taiwan. The parameters of assessment incluced the attitude toward the behavior, subjective norm, perceived behavior of control and behavior intention. T-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson product-moment correlation, step-wise multiple regression analysis were used for data analysis. Results: The study subjects have a good knowledge of CPR knowledge, the average answer rate was 82.38%. Subjects’ attitude towards learning cardiopulmonary resuscitation and performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation is positive.Behavior intentions to perform CPR were influenced by attitude and subjective norm, with subjective norm and behavior intentions having the greatest influence, followed by attitude.There was significant positive correlations in all aspects of attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavior of control. With the use the TPB in this study, the perceived behavior of control was the prime important predicting variable（β= .38，p < .001）,the subjective norm（β= .25，p < .001）and the attitude（β= .24，p < .001）were the next importance for the predition of behavior intentions to perform CPR. The explanation power of these three variables accounted for 51.7%. Conclusion: Based on the research results attitude and subjective norms were the most important factors. Therefore, we suggest strengthening the opportunities and ways, reducing infectious diseases during the implementation process and the current relevant protection laws to enhance positive behavioral beliefs. In addition, we should design and promot the support of important others to be engaged the behavior intention toward cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
