Effect analysis and thinking of training and assessment of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Elec-tric Defibrillation skills on nurses

Abstract

Objective To explore the better strategy of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and electric defibrillation skills training and assessment on nurses in order to improve the first-aid level of nurs-ing staff. Methods 1 258 nurses of a hospital were trained and assessed in batches. Core group and instruc-tor team were established, multimedia lecture, situation simulation training and network self-learning were available. Paperless examinations were conducted. Results of the examinations were analyzed by SPSS19.0, and the comparison between the two groups of independent samples were analyzed by Mann-Whitney U test. Results All the 1 258 nurses were qualified, for the median score was 88.0 and the quartile spacing was 7.5. The step-scores of step1-3, 13, 14, 22, 23 were high, while the step-scores of step5, 7-17, 16-21, 24, 25 were low. Compared with nurses without professional-titles, nurses with professional-titles got better results in total score, step 8-12 and step17-21, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) . Conclu-sions It is necessary to pay attention to the training and assessment of CPR and electric defibrilla-tion skills on nurses. Advanced and effective training methods need to be used to carry on regular training and assess-ment. For the weak links and low-grade nursing staff, intensive training needs to be conducted to improve the entire skill level of nurses.
