Abstract
Adequate CPR management will improve the critically ill children outcome. Hence nurses are the major part of health care services must be train with adequate Life support knowledge and skill towards assessment and management of paediatric emergencies based on American Heart Association (AHA} training module 2020.
Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of Simulation based PALS training programme among nurses in Tertiary care hospital
Design: Quasi experimental where One group pre-test post-test design.
Setting: The main study was conducted after the Pilot study at Institute of Child health and Hospital for Children, Egmore, Chennai. The 175 Nurses working in ICH & HC who fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected by Simple Random sampling technique. The inclusion criteria was Nurses who are not attended previous Simulation based PALS training were selected. A structured knowledge questionnaire and standardized practice checklist (AHA 2020) were used for the data collection in the study from July 2022 to June 2023. Post-test was assessed based on OSCE check list over time interval of 3 months and 6 months. The following OSCE stations were used in Post-test to assess the Knowledge retention for Nurses.
Station I: CPR- Cardio pulmonary resuscitation and Defibrillation
Station II: Intravenous / Intra osseous (IO) access
Station III: Emergency Drugs – Crash Cart
Station IV: Management of Paediatric Emergencies - Shock, Foreign body, Head trauma,
Drowning, SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome).
Station V: Equipments requirement in Emergency unit.
Results: Frequency and percentage distribution of pre and post test scores on PALS among nurses depicts that, the Nurses knowledge retention about Simulation based PALS maximum score and difference in mean percentage in pre-test - 46%, post- test I – 65%, post-test II – 69%, post-test III – 84%. The Nurses practice of Simulation based PALS maximum score and difference in mean percentage is in pre-test - 23%, post- test I – 46%, Post - test II – 73%, post- test III – 90%. Comparison of posttest score I (on the day of PALS training), II (3 months) and III (6 months) of knowledge displayed a significance difference among nurses. The significance of the P value I (0.0008), P value II (0.3739), P value III (0.40961). This reveals that Periodical simulation based PALS training programme was effective on knowledge retention and good practice score among nurses. It seems that PALS training programme was effective among nurses.
Conclusions: Findings indicate that PALS simulation training over the time of knowledge retention for nurses was effective. The pre and post test scores on PALS among nurses depicts that, The comparison of Paired ‘t’ test value of pre-test and post-test knowledge scores of PALS among nurses is 19.21, the level of significance is P <0.05 Significant. The association between post-test knowledge scores of PALS among nurses with selected demographic variables age in years ‘F’ test value = 3.156 and ‘P’ value is 0.046 is significant. The years of experience as a Pediatric nurses were ‘F’ test value = 3.361 and ‘P’ value is 0.038 is significant. The gender, educational level, year of experience as nurse values are not significant.
