Abstract: In this study, we explored the status of curricula for nursing students and identified the priorities for curricula improvement using importance–performance analysis. A cross‐sectional, descriptive survey was conducted, which included 62 instructors in charge of resuscitation training. The participants completed the self‐administered, 32‐item Resuscitation Curricula Attributes Importance–Performance Scale. With Wilcoxon signed‐rank test, an importance–performance analysis matrix was created. There was a significant overall mean difference between importance and performance in all 32 items, with “recognition of arrest rhythms” showing the largest difference. Importance–performance analysis suggests that the priorities for improvement are “nursing record documentation” and “recognition of arrest rhythms”. The development of cardiopulmonary resuscitation curricula should focus on attributes that are expected of practitioners and are relevant to current healthcare environment needs.
