Effect of simulation assisted training program (SATP) vs mobile app based training program on first aid (FA) and basic life support (BLS) among undergraduate nursing students of selected universities of Haryana

Abstract

The study’s basic aim was to assess nursing students' understanding of first aid (FA) and (BLS) procedures and to educate them about FA and BLS by doing comparative study to evaluate the effectiveness of Simulation Assisted Training Program (SATP)Vs Mobile App based training Program on First Aid and BLS. A quasi-experimental study to evaluate the effectiveness of the Simulation Assisted Training Program (SATP) Vs Mobile app-based Training Program (MABTP) on First Aid (FA) and (BLS) on knowledge and practice among the undergraduate nursing students in selected Universities of Haryana. In SATP group; the posttests mean score of knowledge was 52.40±12.520. In MABTP group, the posttests mean score of knowledge was 49.64±8.480. The mean difference was 2.760. The t48=.913, p=.366which indicate that non-significant at 0.05 level. In SATP group; the posttests mean score of practice was 189.96±28.940. In MABTP group, the posttest mean score of practice was 166.24±38.505. The mean difference was 23.72. The t48=2.462p=.017which indicate that significant at 0.05 level.In SATP group; the posttests mean score of knowledge was 72.56±7.665. In MABTP group, the posttests mean score of knowledge was 57.72±9.298. The mean difference was 14.840. Here in dependent ttest was applied to find out statistically significant result.
