“…Many studies have focused on the impact of participation in the resuscitation class on increasing knowledge among individuals. CPR training should be provided every 3 to 6 months to avoid reducing the knowledge and skill of the treating staff (6). Thus, the results indicate that the smaller the interval between repeating training classes, the greater the resuscitation skills of participants.…”

“…One of the main reasons for the disparity in survival rate is that rescuers are often performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) at sub-optimal standards (5). Therefore, the skill of emergency medical personnel in resuscitation as the first line of assistance is an essential factor in the outcome of cardiac arrest (6). However, there is compelling evidence that personnel lack the necessary skills in resuscitation (3).…”

Background: Considering the importance of pre-hospital resuscitation, it is necessary to update staff on the relevant knowledge and skills through education, sufficient practice, good supervision and recruitment of appropriately qualified cadres. Aims: This study aimed to determine the association between knowledge and skills for emergency medical services (EMS) of basic life support in northwest Khuzestan province, Islamic Republic of Iran, in 2016. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on all EMS (75 participants) in two emergency centers in the southwest of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The sampling was done via the available census. Three questionnaires were used: 1) demographic information (age, time of participation in retraining classes, academic degree, and employment); 2) knowledge of basic life support (BLS); and 3) checklist of BLS and automated external defibrillator (AED) skills. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics, chi-square, ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: 30.7% of the emergency medical services had poor knowledge (mean score was 19.35 1 / 10 WHO EMRO | Relationship between knowledge and skill for basic life support in emergency medical serv ± 3.9; range: 0-34) and 42.7% of subjects had poor skills (mean score was 5.40 ± 2.39; range: 0-9). Both results are higher than the national average. The findings also indicated that 70.7% of staff did not use AED devices correctly, and there was a significant relationship between staff knowledge and skills with AED device use (P < 0.05). Among the 41 participants that had taken part in training classes 12 months previously, more than 50% had poor skills (n=21) and only 7 participants had good skills. Also, among the 11 participants who had taken part in training classes 3 months ago, 7 participants had good skills. In general, there was no relationship between staff knowledge and skill (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The results showed that none of the participants acquired a full knowledge score and only 6 participants gained the total skill score.

“…Kao jedan od mogućih uzroka deficit znanja navode da skoro 70% zaposlenih nije dobilo nikakvu obuku o KPR nakon završetka osnovnih studija. 10 Dobijeni podaci govore da je neophodno osveženje znanja i veština o reanimaciji već tokom školovanja. Slabo zadržavanje znanja pokazuje, da način podučavanja moramo prilagoditi polaznicima.…”

SAŽETAKUvod. Veština sprovođenja kardiopulmonalne reanimacije je osnovni zadatak svih zdravstvenih radnika. U tom konceptu, ovaj rad ispituje znanje o kardiopulmonalnoj reanimaciji kod učenika zdravstvene struke.Metod. Istraživanje je sprovedena kao studija preseka u srednjoj Medicinskoj školi "7.april" u Novom Sadu, tokom 2015/16.godine. Korišćen je anketni upitnik u obliku testa znanja. Za statističku obradu podataka korišćen je SPSS statistički program, korišćene su metode deskriptivne statistike. Statistička značajna korelacija po polu i uzrastu testirana je primenom metode ukrštenih tabela i Pirsonovog χ2 testa, na nivou poverenja p ≤ 0,05 %.Rezultati. Učenici smatraju da nemaju dovoljno praktičnog iskustva za učešće u kardiopulmonalnoj reanimaciji. Takođe otkrili smo deficit znanja u pravilnom odnosu insuflacije vazduha i spoljašnje kompresije srca, u oblasti medikamenata i EKG ispitivanja.Zaključak. Skoro trećina budućih zdravstvenih radnika nema odgovarajuće znanje o reanimaciji, i ne bi znalo adekvatno sprovesti oživljavanje. To govori da u obrazovanju zdravstvenih radnika moramo veći naglasak staviti na zbrinjavanje hitnih stanja, kao i na redovno ponavljanje i uvežbavanje postupka reanimacije.Ključne reči: medicinske sestre/tehničari, učenici, medicinska škola, teoretsko znanje, kardiopulmonalna reanimacija (KPR) ABSTRACTIntroduction. Mastering the skills of cardio-pulmonary resuscitation is a basic task for all health workers. In this concept, this paper examines and assesses the knowledge of resuscitation in students of the healthcare professions.

“…The CPR is considered as an important procedure at which all health care providers, particularly the nurses, need to be skillful in this eld (4). Since nurses are commonly rst responders in hospital settings, they need to have su cient knowledge and skills on CPR (5). Therefore, CPR training is an essential component of the undergraduate curriculum in different elds of healthcare disciplines to prepare students for their careers in the future (6).…”

Background: Smartphone-based education has been recommended in different areas of medical education. Considering the capabilities and features of social media, this study aimed to investigate the effect of social media and workshop on CPR performance of nursing and midwifery students. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 59 nursing and midwifery students were randomly divided into two groups (WhatsApp- and workshop-based training). Students' CPR skill was assessed at four time-points including before the training, one week, one month and three months after the training. Results: The results showed that the mean score of CPR skill in the workshop group was higher than WhatsApp in one week, one month, and three month later (p<0.05). Conclusions: Despite the effectiveness of both methods, workshop had a better effect on students' performance. Therefore, social media should not be considered a substitute for conventional training such as the workshop.
