|
|
Purpose: The study was done to identify variations in Nurses’ CPR knowledge, attitude and performance before and after BLS Education.
Method: This study was designed to evaluate the differences in Nurses’ CPR knowledge, attitude and performance. For the study we selected 167 nurses working in Daegu K University hospital. The study group was given a test before (pre test) and after (post test) BLS education. The BLS education was given by two BLS instructors certified by the American Heart Association, using a DVD and manikin.
Result: The results showed a statistically significant difference the nurse’s knowledge, belief, emotion and performance but there was no significant difference in their behavior after BLS education. CPR knowledge and performance was higher among emergency room nurses compared to surgical ward nurses.
Conclusion: CPR education has shown to have a positive effect on nurses’ attitudes towards CPR. It also improved their related knowledge and performance. Therefore, cardiopulmonary education should be given continuously, and different steps of CPR education programs need to be developed in order to fill the knowledge deficiency gap.
