The effectiveness of emergency knowledge training of pediatric medical workers based on the knowledge, skills, simulation model: a quasi-experimental study

Abstract

Background Basic life support and advanced life support are essential emergency management skills for medical workers, and pediatricians' first aid skills can be improved through emergency knowledge training. Methods A controlled pre–post-intervention quasi-experimental study design was used. The study setting was a tertiary children's hospital in China. In November 2019, a KSS model of emergency knowledge learning was developed and tested, and pediatric medical workers (N = 1448) were trained with it. The outcome measures were based on an emergency knowledge questionnaire devised by the authors that measured the effectiveness of training by comparing the pre-and post-training scores of the particpants. Results Pediatric medical workers scored significantly higher in total emergency knowledge after the training course than before [75.00 (62.50, 85.00) versus 100.00 (95.00, 100.00); P = 0.00]. Basic life support and advanced life support knowledge score significantly improved after training. Teamwork scores were significantly higher after the training than before [5.00 (5.00, 10.00) versus 10.00 (10.00, 10.00); P = 0.00]. Scores were significantly higher after the training (P < 0.001), especially for case analysis questions (P = 0.00). The attitudes of the medical workers towards the training were all positive and affirmative. Conclusion The KSS model was shown to be effective in improving the emergency knowledge of pediatric medical workers. Future research will be to explore the effectiveness of the model with different participants and at other hospitals or other institutions such as schools, encouraging more people to participate in and evaluate the model to promote its optimization.

A Comparative Study of Doctors and Nurses Regarding the Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of Basic Life Support in Tertiary Care Hospitals of Peshawar

“…Such apprehensions, coupled with a lack of confidence in BLS skills as noted in other studies (6), underline the necessity for comprehensive training programs. These programs should prioritize hands-on experience, regular guideline updates, and efforts to demystify AED use, thereby fostering a more confident and competent healthcare workforce capable of executing lifesaving interventions (19). The study's strengths lie in its comparative approach and the inclusion of both doctors and nurses, providing a broad perspective on the BLS competency landscape within tertiary care settings in Peshawar.…”

“…Target ke depannya adalah memberi pelatihan langsung menggunakan manekin pada masyarakat awam. [5,6] Otak manusia akan mengalami kerusakan apabila tidak mendapat aliran darah yang mengandung oksigen selama 6 menit. [7,8] Oleh sebab itu perlu dilakukan tindakan life saving berupa resusitasi jantung paru yang adekuat agar jantung terpompa dan darah dapat mengalir kembali ke otak.…”

Comparison of the Four-step Basic Life Support Approach with Non-Standardised Training Approach in Achieving Basic Life Support Proficiency among the Healthcare Workers

“…4 Various models are used to ensure successful learning of practical skills, including the Knowledge, Skill and Simulation (KSS) model and Peyton's four-step approach, etc. 5,6 Peyton's four-step approach tackles the quagmire of ensuring effective delivery of the skill set taught to the learner. It ensures that the student is actively involved in learning and acquiring the requisite skills.…”
