The concept of self-assessment is a central mechanism in human behavioural change and should lead to desirable practice patterns
During 2012, 314 medical staff of the Parma University Hospital were trained in basic life support defibrillation (BLSD)
The participants were randomly selected to create teams of two people working in the same department to take part in a simulation reproducing the first five minutes of a cardiac arrest in a medical or surgical department of our hospital before the intervention of the hospital emergency team
Summary
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between the physiological and psychosocial variables of cardiac resuscitation in order to improve the involvement and motivation of professionals during training courses
