AIMS: To verify the effectiveness of the simulation in the self-confidence of nursing students for extra-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation. METHODS: A quasi-experimental, before and after, single-group study, was performed with nursing undergraduate students. The sample was recruited among university students who were in the second or third year of graduation and accepted to participate in the research. The intervention protocol consisted of individual participation in a emergency simulated clinical scenario. The simulated scenario adopted consisted of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in extra-hospital cardiorespiratory arrest, using the Mini Anne Plus® low fidelity manikin. In addition to the sociodemographic variables, students' self-confidence for emergency action was analyzed, evaluated by the Self-Confidence Scale, before and after each simulation. Marginal and homogeneous Wilcoxon homogeneity tests were applied, and the accepted significance level was 5%.RESULTS: Thirteen two undergraduate students in nursing between the ages of 18 and 38 participated in the study. Statistically significant differences (p < 0.001) were observed in the answers of all the questions of the Self-confidence Scale when compared before and after the simulation. There was also a statistically significant increase (p < 0.001) in cardiological, respiratory and neurological scores after simulation.CONCLUSIONS: The simulation proved to be an effective educational strategy in increasing the self-confidence of nursing students to perform extra-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Birth preparedness and complication readiness or BP/ CR of pregnant women enable maternal and newborn survival. A quasi-experimental study was conducted to know the effect of awareness programme on knowledge and practice regarding BP/ CR among pregnant women in Panchla Block, Howrah District , West Bengal. Using the Mother and Child tracking system register 72 mothers with gestational age ≥ 36 weeks selected randomly from 12 sub-centers. Intervention was done through individual and group instructions and data were collected before and after intervention. The intervention through awareness programme to the pregnant women significantly raised the awareness level regarding BP/ CR, as the mean score was higher in the intervention group regarding birth preparedness ((17.1 after intervention versus 13.5 before intervention, t value 12.73 with 35 df ,  p<0.05) and complication readiness (13.8 after intervention versus 6.1 before intervention, t value 25.31 with 35 df , p<0.05). However, there is no significant improvement in mean score in the control group regarding birth preparedness. There is also, strong positive association between knowledge and practice (chi-square value 16.99 with 1 df and p<0.01). Keyword: birth preparedness; complication readiness

Abstract Background Although various forms of online education are on the rise worldwide, effects of such innovative approach are yet to be validated. This study analyzes whether blended learning cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) education that integrates e-learning and face-to-face education is effective in improving nursing students’ knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy. Methods A randomized controlled design was used. The participants of this study were 120 nursing students randomly assigned to the intervention group (n = 60) or the control (n = 60). The intervention group was trained using a blended learning CPR education program. Self report questionnaires with knoweldge, attitude, and self-efficacy were all used in the pre and post intervention. Differences before and after the education of each group were analyzed with a paired t-test, and the differences between the two groups were analyzed with ANCOVA with knowledge as the covariate. Results The findings indicated that the intervention group had significantly higher knowledge scores (intervention: 16.40 ± 1.56, control: 6.46 ± 2, p < .001), and emotional attitude (intervention: 40.85 ± 8.01, control: 36.05 ± 6.87, p = .002) about CPR than the control group, but other outcomes did not differ between groups. Conclusions In this monocentric study, a blended learning CPR program that integrated videos and face to face lecture was found effective in improving nursing students’ knowledge and attitudes regarding CPR.
