Abstract

Background and Aims

Healthcare providers may need to initiate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) while patients are in the prone position. Healthcare providers (HCPs) must possess the necessary knowledge, skills, and experience to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the prone position (PPCPR) confidently. This study aimed to assess HCPs' preparedness to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the prone position at specialized units in Jordan's healthcare sectors.

Methods

In eight tertiary hospitals, a descriptive cross-sectional survey was carried out. An online questionnaire was conducted among 332 HCPs who were employed in the operating room, intensive care units, or interventional procedure rooms.

Results

The majority of HCPs (73%) exhibited poor preparedness, with only 25% showing excellent preparedness, and 2% displayed an average level of preparedness. The average preparedness score was 37.14 (SD = 38.840), indicating significant variability. A lack of targeted training was associated with lower preparedness levels. Notably, HCPs with Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) training showed significantly higher preparedness.

Conclusion

The HCPs in Jordan are poorly prepared to perform PPCPR whenever required. However, the study findings represent a significant step towards improving HCPs' preparedness to perform PPCPR. They serve as a baseline assessment and highlight the gaps in HCPs' readiness, which helps their organizations to develop and implement targeted training strategies and interventions. Incorporating this training into hospital orientation, training programs, and clinical guidelines is vitally important to enhance HCPs' capabilities for better outcomes.

评估医疗服务提供者在约旦医疗保健部门俯卧位CPR的准备：一项描述性横断面研究

背景和目的当患者处于俯卧位时，医疗保健提供者可能需要启动心肺复苏（CPR）。医疗保健提供者（HCPs）必须具备必要的知识、技能和经验，才能自信地进行俯卧位心肺复苏（PPCPR）。本研究旨在评估约旦医疗保健部门专业单位的医护人员在俯卧位进行心肺复苏的准备情况。方法对8所三级医院进行描述性横断面调查。对332名在手术室、重症监护病房或介入性手术室工作的医护人员进行了在线问卷调查。结果大多数HCPs（73%）表现出较差的准备，只有25%表现出良好的准备，2%表现出平均水平的准备。平均准备得分为37.14 (SD = 38.840)，差异显著。缺乏有针对性的培训与较低的准备水平有关。值得注意的是，接受过高级心脏生命支持（ACLS）训练的医护人员的准备程度明显更高。结论约旦的医护人员在必要时实施PPCPR的准备不足。然而，研究结果表明，在提高医护人员实施PPCPR的准备方面迈出了重要的一步。它们可作为基线评估，并突出显示医务人员在准备方面的差距，这有助于其组织制定和实施有针对性的培训战略和干预措施。将这种培训纳入医院指导、培训计划和临床指南，对于提高医护人员获得更好结果的能力至关重要。
