Effect evaluation of group-generalization first aid modeling drilling in first aid skills training for nurses

Abstract

Objective To explore the group-generalization first aid modeling drilling and its effects on training of first aid skills for nurses. Methods Training scheme of group-generalization first aid modeling drilling was designed. A total of 240 nurses with 2 to 5 years of service were selected to be trained in first-aid skills for 8 months. We compared the knowledge of first aid theory, manipulative skill of first-aid, the score of group-generalization first aid modeling drilling before and after training. The score of group-generalization first aid modeling drilling included 65% for personal operation and 35% for comprehensive evaluation through group (ability to judge the change of the condition, emergency response capability, teamwork ability, communication ability, ability of writing nursing records, accident during rescue process, other abilities including medical waste handling and so on). We also compared the score of group comprehensive evaluation, the time of simulation drilling, the problem frequencies before and after group-generalization first aid modeling drilling. T test and chi square test were used for statistical analysis according to the data type. Results After training, scores of knowledge of first aid theory, manipulative skill of first-aid and personal of group-generalization first aid modeling drilling were (83.20±4.80), (81.96±4.89) and (86.95±6.06) significantly higher than those before training [(78.10±8.46), (80.20±7.72), (76.37±10.79)] with statistically significant differences (t=8.84, 2.59, 9.61; P<0.05). The score of comprehensive evaluation through group of group-generalization first aid modeling drilling was (16.68±2.51) before training compared (22.06±2.81) after training with a significant difference (t=13.22, P<0.01). The time of simulation drilling decreased from 11 minutes to 7 minutes. There was a significant decrease in the incidence of problems with significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusions The group-generalization first aid modeling drilling effectively improves the knowledge level of first aid theory and manipulative skill of first-aid and is helpful to comprehensively enhance the ability of comprehensive first aid so as to improve the quality of emergency treatment and nursing.
