Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Nurse's competency in CPR performance is a critical element in patients' survival from cardiac arrest. Although medical education has recently emphasized on this issue, most researches identified that the CPR knowledge and skill retention were highly poor. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of a short CPR re-educational course on the retention of CPR skill and knowledge among nursing students.
METHODS: In this quasi-experimental study, a total of 48 final year nursing students of the Fatemeh College of Nursing & Midwifery at Shiraz University were participated in primary CPR training course. Then, they randomly divided into groups. Six months after the initial education, a 2-hour re-education course in CPR was presented for the first group (group 1). And one year after initial education, both groups (re-educated and non-re-educated) were evaluated in their CPR performance based on performing CPR on mannequin and observational checklist that was made in accordance with the last revision of American Heart Association (AHA) standard CPR guideline. Data was statistically analyzed to compare two groups using t-test.
FINDINGS: The results indicated that there was no significant difference between two groups CPR performance before and immediately after the initial education. (t=-1.7, p= 0/09); but we found statistically significant differences between them a year after the initial education (t=8.5, p= 0.00). It means that students who were attended in the short term re-education course six months after initial CPR education gained significantly higher scores in 5 skills including adequate safe approach; call for help; head tilt/chin lift maneuver; effective chest compression depth (4-5 cm); and also visible chest rising.
CONCLUSION: According to the results, the short and inexpensive courses of re-education that are efficient in CPR skill retention should take into consideration.

Abstract

Introduction: A study of the history of human wars, especially recent wars, shows that many countries have covert and overt access to chemical, microbial and nuclear weapons. The Ba'athist regime in Iraq used mustard gas extensively against our country 92 times, and its late effects are still observed among the chemically injured. In fact, the lack of the right attitude, knowledge, and skills about countermeasures has made Iran the biggest victim of chemical warfare in the world. In this article, we try to study the ways of gaining attitude, knowledge, and skills of protective measures in chemical warfare of the new incoming students of the Army Nursing School and provide appropriate solutions.
Method: This descriptive-survey study examines the ways of gaining the attitude, knowledge, and skills of protective measures in chemical warfare of new incoming students of the Army Nursing School. About 78 nursing students who had not received military training in the School of Nursing were selected data collected through a researcher-made questionnaire and checklist. The face validation and the Cronbach's alpha were used to determine the validity and reliability of the. The results were analyzed using SPSS- 20 and statistical tests. (P≥0.05)
Findings: Based on the findings, through the acquisition of chemical knowledge, Basij % 32.7, high school defense readiness %37.7, IRIB %35.1 and written sources had an average of %32. In addition, the average attitude about chemical warfare from Basij training method, high school defense readiness, IRIB, and newspapers and books was 102.8, 108.6, 92.87, and 103.6 percentage respectivly. ANOVA test did not show a significant difference between the methods of acquiring knowledge (p=0.94) and attitude (p= 0.16). (P>0.05) This indicates that students were not statistically significantly different in terms of knowledge and attitude of chemical warfare in the mentioned methods. The effect of Basij on creating protective readiness of students is %44.18, defense readiness of high school %45.78, IRIB %42.62 and newspapers and books was %44.07, which indicates a statistically significant difference in methods of acquiring personal protection skills in chemical attacks. (P≥0.05)
Conclusion: It is necessary to increase the knowledge and skills of military nurses at the forefront of dealing with such events, and the lack of such preparations or the belief that such preparations are unnecessary is a catasrophe. In addition, medical centers and other accident-related organizations should also conduct training courses in this regard.
