Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of a program on learning CPR in nurses for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Moreover, we want to evaluate the effect of continuous assessment and feedback on this teaching program. This study is a quasi experimental study. 33 nurses in training centers (Modarres hospital nurses were included in this study). The nurses were divided into two groups. group A cases received continuous assessment with feedback, and group B which was the control group received no continuous assesment and feedback. Both groups took part in 4 session of CPR program which included pre-test, post-test, 6-month and one-year semester examinations. Seventeen (51.5%) nurses were in the case group and 16 (48.4%) were in the control group. At the beginning of the study, the skill of both groups were at the same level. Therefore, the mean pretest, post-test, 6-month and one-year test scores in the two groups were similar. Moreover, both pretest and post-test scores increased in both intervention and control groups but the increase was more significant in the interverntion group. On the other hand, the 6-month and one-year examinations in test scores were higher in the intervention than the control group. Also, after one year in the intervention group, the post-test mean score was increased in this group, but this difference was not significant in the control group. The overall test results in two groups for the 4 session was significant. Applying continuous evaluation with feedback for the nursing programs will result in better understanding of trainees. This teaching program resulted in improvement of Cardiopulmonary resuscitation knowledge and Memorization in the nurse who attended this program.
