Abstract

This study is conducted to assess if frequent simulation training to improve defibrillation and CPR performance impacts staff skill and knowledge retention. Healthcare providers self-efficacy level was measured using a questionnaire to collect pre- and post-survey data. Data on performance was collected during the training. Performance measures improved significantly on all key constructs (p<0.001). Various age, education, medical occupation, and years in healthcare and with BLS training were statistically correlated with education/medical competencies skills. These findings support frequent unit-based training sessions increase skill set and confidence levels leading to better performance on life-saving steps during CPR.
