The application of cardiopulmonary resuscitation skill training in pre-job training for clinical interns and its value of quality control

Abstract

Objective To explore the application of cardiopulmonary resuscitation skill training in pre-job training for clinical interns and its value of quality control. Methods A total of 136 clinical interns in Chongqing Qianjiang Central Hospital who came from Chongqing Medical University, Jishou University, and Hubei University for nationalities were included in this study from June 2015 to June 2017. The test score, pass rates and make-up pass rates after 3 months of pre-job training of cardiopul-monary resuscitation were compared between training and evaluation group (2016 session) and control group (2015 session). We analyzed the correlation of retraining and evaluation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and test score of pre-job training and its value of predicting the effectiveness of pre-job training. Results There were 65 clinical interns in 2016 session and 71 clinical interns in 2015 session. After 3 months training, the test score, pass rates and make-up pass rates in retraining and evaluation group were significantly higher than that in the control group, respectively (t=15.594, P=0.000; χ2=22.859, P=0.000; χ2=6.179, P=0.018). Conclusions Car-diopulmonary resuscitation skill training could enhance the effectiveness of pre-job training for clinical interns in non-affiliated teaching hospital and increase interns' ability to carry out cardiopulmonary resusci-tation and improve the quality of pre-job training for clinical interns. It could be used as an effective quality control strategy of clinical teaching Key words: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation; Internship; Clinical skill; Pre-job training
