Abstract

Background: Cardiac emergencies including cardiac arrest proceed with warning signs which should be identified early to enable timely treatment for improvement and survival. The cardiac arrest is a common medical emergency where the nurse play significant role in reducing the magnitude of problems and longevity of life. The aim of present study was to determine effectiveness of simulated demonstration on knowledge and skill regarding cardiac defibrillation among nursing personnel’s.

Material and Methods: A quasi experimental study, pre and post test design was undertaken among nurses of Pravara Rural Hospital, Loni (Bk). A total of 30 nurses were selected by simple random sampling technique who fulfills the inclusion criteria’s. Pre tested structured questionnaire [for knowledge] and observation check list [for skill] was used to collect data. Study was approved by IEC/IRC and informed consent was obtained from all the participants. After pre testing simulated demonstration was implemented in group and post test was conducted after fifteen days of intervention. The descriptive and inferential statistics were applied wherever was required.

Results: The result highlights that simulated demonstration was effective in improving the knowledge as well as enhancing skill on cardiac defibrillation and the difference was found statistically significant. It was noted that knowledge and skill had positive correlation; wherein knowledge had significant association with demographic variable like age (x2 = 4.02), and skill had associated with previous source of information (x2 = 4.65) at p<0.05 level.

Conclusion: Study outcome revealed that simulated demonstration was found effective, and played significant role in improving knowledge and skill on cardiac defibrillation among nursing professionals. Regular the interactive session with simulation better the updates, confidence and aptitude on cardiac defibrillation procedure.
