Correlates of Cardiology Nurses' Clinical First Aid Competence in a Selected Hospital in Shandong, China

Abstract

As a cardiology department is an important place to receive critically ill patients, the improvement of nurses' own quality can significantly improve the first aid competence and resuscitation success rate, thus saving patients' lives. The clinical emergency care competencies of cardiac nurses include the ability to recognize changes in a patient's status in a timely manner during the course of treatment, as well as the ability to carefully assess the situation and make timely judgments. This ability to provide emergency medical care under stress is critical to the overall competence of the nurse. Cardiology nurses should improve their ability to learn on their own, continue to learn new knowledge and techniques, enhance their level of professional benefit, and actively participate in cardiovascular specialty nurse training in order to improve their critical care and emergency care abilities.
