“…(2021) study experienced internal chaos during resuscitations that hindered their ability to make clinical decisions and delayed necessary care. Internal chaos was described as feelings of panic or being overwhelmed, related to not having the space to think (Sjoberg et al., 2015) and worried that they would then make a mistake (Hui et al., 2011; Lee & Cha, 2018). This often resulted in a physical reaction to resuscitation, such as a flight/fight response (Laws, 2001; Ranse & Arbon, 2007), distortion of time and tunnel vision (Sjoberg et al., 2015).…”

“…Nurses' expressed a greater level of clinical confidence for resuscitations when they had undertaken advanced life support training (Sjoberg et al., 2015). Consistent exposure to mock simulation training was highlighted as crucial for nurses to retain clinical knowledge and skills for the purpose of real‐life resuscitations as this improved their sense of preparedness and improved their levels of stress during a resuscitation (Hemming et al., 2003; Hui et al., 2011; Sjoberg et al., 2015). Nurses identified that training sessions that mimicked real‐life resuscitations described as ‘messy' were considered the most beneficial as it allowed them to practice the skills needed to bring order back to the resuscitation (Ranse & Arbon, 2008; Sjoberg et al., 2015).…”

“…The aim of this integrative review was to develop an understanding of nurses' experience of resuscitation, to gain knowledge of Resuscitative environments that were externally chaotic were often described in the literature as 'messy' (Laws, 2001;Ranse & Arbon, 2008;Sjoberg et al, 2015). External chaos during a resuscitation was expressed when there was ineffective leadership, role confusion, poor communication, under/over staffing levels (Hui et al, 2011;Laws, 2001;Sjoberg et al, 2015), family presence and equipment issues (Janatolmakan et al, 2021). Ineffective leadership in a resuscitation contributed to role confusion and delays in prioritisation of care (Sjoberg et al, 2015).…”

Background Nurses are often the first responders to resuscitations. Understanding their experiences of resuscitation will highlight the resuscitative context nurses work within and identify the conditions that support or hamper their delivery of safe and effective resuscitative care. Aim The aim of this integrative review is to develop an understanding of nurses' experience of resuscitation, to gain knowledge of their challenges and identify gaps in evidence. Design Integrative review. Methods The electronic databases CINAHL, MEDLINE, Scopus and Web of Science were systematically searched from 2000–2021. Methodological quality of the papers was evaluated using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT). The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 checklist was used to guide and report the integrative review. Results Eleven articles met criteria for review. Four themes arose from the literature that addressed nurses experiences of resuscitation: Chaos (external/internal), ethical dilemmas, clinical confidence and need for support. Conclusion Nurses' experiences of resuscitation are multifaceted. Addressing the challenges that nurses experience during resuscitation will help ensure that nurses' are supported in their professional growth and personal well‐being. Relevance to clinical practice and research: Building nursing leadership capacity within resuscitations is an area of clinical practice/research that is gaining traction as a valid solution to address the challenges nurses experience during resuscitations. Whilst the barriers to debriefing requires a greater level of consideration within the workplace.

This study aimed to investigate factors affecting behavioral intentions to use defibrillators among clinical nurses in South Korea, using a modified predictive technology acceptance model 2 (TAM 2) that facilitates understanding of what prompts apparent spontaneous actions. This descriptive, cross-sectional study included 467 clinical nurses with more than 6 months of clinical experience. The path analysis results showed that the variables directly affecting the intention to use a defibrillator among clinical nurses were the image, organizational support, perceived ease of use, and perceived usefulness. Moreover, job autonomy and total career indirectly affected the intention to use a defibrillator. Clinical nurses need to know how to use defibrillators and be able to act promptly on patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). Organizational managers need to improve the work environments of clinical nurses accordingly. Additionally, it is necessary to establish a policy foundation to ensure the development of competence and job autonomy that can lead to the use of defibrillators by improving various factors, including anxiety or reluctance of nurses to use defibrillators in acute cardiac arrest.
