Major Field of Science: | Medical and Health Sciences | Issue Date: | 2007 | Source: | Nosileftiki, 2007, vol. 46, no. 3, pp. 381-389 | Volume: | 46 | Issue: | 3 | Start page: | 381 | End page: | 389 | Journal: | Nosileftiki | Abstract: | Aim: To assess the level of knowledge of the nursing staff on Basic Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (B-CPR) according to the European Resuscitation Council guidelines (ERC 2000) and explore the correlation with demographic and other background factors. Material and method: The sample included 128 nurses and 107 assistant nurses from 13 hospitals in Attica and 3 hospitals in Crete. A questionnaire with 14 multiple choice questions which was developed for the specific purpose was used for data collection. Results: The results showed that nursing staff had a low level of knowledge on B-CPR (Mean.=5.88, SD=2.42). The vast majority of the participants (69.2%) did not know the exact rhythm of compression - ventilation. Only half of the sample (54,4%) has attended a Β-CPR seminar. Statistically significant differences were found for the geographical area, the type of department, the educational level, the participation in Β-CPR seminar and the time of the participation Conclusion: The results of this study showed the need for a systematic and continuous training on Β-CPR of all nurses, especially for the assistants and those who work in general departments. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/1029 | DOI: | 10.4102/phcfm.v10i1.1633 | Rights: | Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 United States | Type: | Article | Affiliation: | Hellenic Mediterranean University | Affiliation : | National and Kapodistrian University of Athens | Publication Type: | Peer Reviewed |
