Abstract

Objectives: Cardiac arrest is a substantial public health problem. The American Heart Association recommends that those whose daily work requires knowledge and skills in advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS) should not only be trained in ACLS but also be given a refresher course at least every 2 years. We conducted a study to find out how much knowledge and skill was improved in the participants following the workshop and also how much of it they retain after 6 months. Materials and Methods: The study, a prospective repeated measures quasi-experimental design, was done to test the knowledge and skill about basic life support (BLS) and ACLS among MBBS Interns at the entry to internship before training, posttraining and 6 months after training. This was done using a structured questionnaire containing 25 knowledge and practice questions and a checklist containing 15 points was used to assess the skills was also assessed using the Laerdal CPRQ Manikin with skill guide using parameters compression score, ventilation score, and compression fraction. Results: Knowledge mean total score for pretest, immediate posttest, and 6 months posttest was 10.9, 23.54, and 15.77, respectively, and skill mean score for pretest, immediate posttest, and 6 months posttest was 3.55, 12.99, and 9.06, respectively. Knowledge and skill assessed for immediate posttest was significantly higher than the pretest score. Six months posttest total score was significantly higher than the pretest total score but was significantly lower than posttest score in regard to both knowledge and skills. Conclusion: We found that there is gross lack of knowledge and skills among interns, which needs to be looked at with proper BLS and ACLS training and periodic reinforcement of the same with trainings as there is a significant decrease in both knowledge and skills at 6 months. The skill guide can be considered for skill assessment.
MBBS实习生在基本生命支持/高级心血管生命支持方面的知识和技能及其保留能力的评估
目的:心脏骤停是一个重大的公共卫生问题。美国心脏协会建议,那些日常工作需要高级心血管生命支持(ACLS)知识和技能的人员不仅应该接受ACLS方面的培训,而且至少每两年进行一次进修课程。我们进行了一项研究,以了解参与者在研讨会后提高了多少知识和技能,以及他们在6个月后保留了多少知识和技能。材料与方法:采用前瞻性重复测量准实验设计,对MBBS实习生在实习前、培训后和培训后6个月的基本生命支持(BLS)和ACLS知识和技能进行测试。使用包含25个知识和实践问题的结构化问卷和包含15个点的检查表来评估技能,也使用Laerdal CPRQ假人模型进行评估,并使用参数压缩评分、通气评分和压缩分数作为技能指南。结果:前测、即时后测和6个月后测的知识平均总分分别为10.9、23.54和15.77,前测、即时后测和6个月后测的技能平均得分分别为3.55、12.99和9.06。即时后测的知识和技能评估显著高于前测得分。6个月后测试总分显著高于前测试总分,但在知识和技能方面显著低于后测试总分。结论:我们发现实习生的知识和技能严重缺乏,这需要通过适当的BLS和ACLS培训和定期的培训来加强,因为在6个月的时候,知识和技能都有明显的下降。技能指南可用于技能评估。
