‌ The Effects of CPR Training Using Two Traditional and Electronic Training Methods on the Knowledge, Skill, and Satisfaction of Nurses from In Service Education of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Abstract

Background and Objectives: With increasing prevalence of heart diseases, a large number of patients refer to hospitals for treatment of heart diseases. These patients are prone to disturbances, such as cardiac arrest that is life threatening. Nurses have taught cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) during their academic education, but the process of CPR changes and is updated every few years, which makes the education important and necessary in this area. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of knowledge, skills, and satisfaction of nurses from participating in traditional and electronic CPR courses and to compare between them.
