With dramatic increasing number of sudden deaths from coronary artery diseases and the importance of time saving in those with cardiac arrest, public teaching about BASIC RESUSCITATION is a vital issue.So, to assess the impact of BASIC CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION TRAINING on knowledge and skill level of grade 3 high school students, a quasi-experimental study with 90 subjects of case and control groups was conducted.As the result we found statistically significant difference between scale mean of knowledge and skill in case and control groups after TRAINING (P=0.000) and the same result was shown between pre and post tests in case group (P=0.000) as a whole, 53.32% of the case group were able to do step by step CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION in a correct way.According to the results we suggest cooperation between ministries of health and education to provide rescue educational programs.

Introduction: CARDIOPULMONARY arrest remains a major health problem and a cause of sudden death in the world. Immediate help to save the life of cardiac arrest patients is very important. CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION TRAINING in schools could be an effective and affordable idea to develop those skills in the society. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION TRAINING on BASIC Life Support knowledge and performance among the students.Method: In this quasi-experimental study, a total of 40 6th grade students from both sexes were selected randomly from Larschools from 2013 to 2014. Validity and reliability of the personal characteristics, knowledge questionnaire, checklist, and Half-body Cpr TRAINING Manikin, “personal characteristics” and “knowledge” questionnaire, and checklist were completed before CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION TRAINING. The TRAINING session included theoretical and practical sessions. Right afterthe intervention and one month after the TRAINING, “knowledge” questionnaire and checklists were completed again. Then, data were analyzed using SPSS version 22.Results: The results showed significant difference in mean scores of knowledge and performance of students before, immediately, and one month after the TRAINING (P<0.001). After one month, mean score of knowledge and performance decreased in comparison with immediately after TRAINING (P<0.001) but remained significantly higher than before TRAINING (P-value<0.001). Although immediately after the TRAINING, there were no significant difference in the score of knowledge and performance of students according to their parents education, and mother’s occupation (P>0.05), but there was a significant difference in the mean score of performance of students according to their father’s occupation immediately after the TRAINING (P<0.05). Also, there was a significant difference in the mean score of performance between body mass index groups immediately after the TRAINING (P<0.05).Conclusion: The results of this study emphasizes the need for planning and implementing CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION courses among elementary school students; as well as, regular implementation and reTRAINING courses in order to maintain and promote public health using school pediatric nurses.

Introduction: CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR) has an effective role in reducing mortality due to respiratory and cardiac arrest and in the case of timely and accurate implementation, it can significantly save lives. Therefore, teaching and learning CPR is one of the most BASIC and vital skills that a person must learn in life. During the past few years, CPR and first aid in the form of simple and BASIC education programs have been provided for the public around the world.Objective: The purpose of this paper was discussing the latest findings in CPR.Materials and Methods: This is a review article based on the translation of the instructions of CPR in American Heart Association in 2015, with an emphasis on CPR, as well as other library materials and articles written between 2010 and 2015.Results: unprofessional and professional revivalists play a vital role in restoring a person who has undergone CARDIOPULMONARY arrest, therefore, they must be trained in CPR operations in accordance with the latest guideline updates. These changes in 2015 adults’ BASIC life support measures and guidelines for RESUSCITATION include correction of the algorithm with the emphasis on comprehensive simplified algorithm, based on the recommendations of CPR performance by professional and unprofessional revivalists, the use of defibrillation in cardiac arrest by the public, CPR quality, and reduction of delays as much as possible.Discussion and Conclusion: Knowledge of CPR and its latest changes is obviously necessary to all professional and unprofessional revivalists.

Introduction: Cardiac arrest is one of the most common causes of mortality in Iran. The reaction of the first persons who deal with such patients in the first minutes of incidence is of great importance in the prognosis of the disease as well as death or survival of the patient.Objective: the current study aimed at examining the effect of BASIC CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION TRAINING by the presentation method on soldiers’ performance.Materials and Methods: In the current experimental study conducted in 2017, two military units were randomly selected. A total of 28 soldiers were randomly selected from each unit and allocated into the intervention and control groups. A pre-test was conducted on both groups in order to evaluate the validity and reliability of the researcher-made performance checklist. Then, the intervention group was trained by the researcher using presentation method and the control group received the previously employed educations. After 1 week, the post-test was performed on both groups. Finally, the data were analyzed using Fisher statistical exact test, t test, and paired t test with SPSS version16.Results: There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in terms of demographic characteristics (P>0.05). The mean performance score before and after the intervention were 2.56 ± 1.68 and 2.08 ± 1.70 in the intervention group (P>0.05), while 20.16 ± 2.17 and 1.48 ± 2.16 in the control group, respectively. Independent t test showed a significant difference between the groups in terms of the post-test scores (P<0.001). Paired t test showed a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores of CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION in the intervention group (P<0.001), but the difference between the pretest and posttest scores of the control group was insignificant (P<0.05).Discussion and Conclusion: The results showed the effectiveness of CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION TRAINING in the intervention group. Consequently, due to the remarkable effect of such TRAININGs on soldiers by the presentation method, it is recommended to hold BASIC CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION TRAINING workshops by the same method for the army task force in order to improve their performance.

Background: There are several evaluation models that can be used to evaluate the effect of in‑service TRAINING; one of them is the Kirkpatrick model. The aim of the present study is to assess the in‑service TRAINING of CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR) for nurses based on the Kirkpatrick’s model.Materials and Methods: This study is a cross‑sectional study based on the Kirkpatrick’s model in which the efficacy of in‑ervice TRAINING of CPR to nurses was assessed in the Shahadaye Lenjan Hospital in Isfahan province in 2014.80 nurses and Nurse’s aides participated in the study after providing informed consent. The in‑service TRAINING course was evaluated in reaction, learning, behavior, and results level of the Kirkpatrick model. Data were collected through a researcher‑made questionnaire.Results: The mean age of the participants was 35 ± 8.5 years. The effectiveness score obtained in the reaction level (first level in the Kirkpatrick model) was 4.2 ± 0.32. The effectiveness score in the second level of model or the learning level was 4.70 ± 0.09, which is statistically significant (P<0.001). The effectiveness score at the third and fourth level were 4.1 ± 0.34 and 4.3 ± 0.12, respectively. Total effectiveness score was 4.35.Conclusions: The results of this study showed that CPR in‑service TRAINING has a favorable effect on all four levels of the Kirkpatrick model for nurses and nurse’s aides.

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of TRAINING CARDIOPULMONARY cerebral RESUSCITATION management on knowledge of nurses working in maternity wards of Ganjavian Hospital, Dezful, Iran, in 2013.Background: Cardiaopulmonary cerebral arrest is one of the most dangerous situations that threats the life and requires immediate and appropriate action to survive and protect life and prevent irreparable/irrecoverable complications of the body vital organs.Method:This is a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest study in which 40 nurses employed in maternal wards of Ganjavian Hospital in Dezful were recruited. The tool used in this study was a researcher-made questionnaire including 20 questions to determine the knowledge of nurses about CARDIOPULMONARY cerebral RESUSCITATION management. After the content validity and reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed, it was distributed among and completed by the participants, before and after intervention. TRAINING workshop was conducted in the form of lecture and practical TRAINING on manikin, 8 hours per day for 2 days in both BASIC and advanced level. The data were analyzed using SPSS 17.Findings: Maximum and minimum scores of pretest were 13 and 5, respectively, with a mean of 9.90 and standard deviation 7.9. Maximum and minimum scores of post-test were 15 and 8, respectively with a mean of 11.25 and standard deviation 1.6. There was a statistically significant difference between scores of nurses’ knowledge, before and after TRAINING (P<0.0001).Conclusion:The findings provide strong evidence, supporting the important role of holding continuous in-service TRAINING courses of CARDIOPULMONARY cerebral RESUSCITATION to improve scientific qualification of the nurses. It is recommended to put more emphasis on RESUSCITATION management process and standardization of the efforts of RESUSCITATION team during emergency events.

BACKGROUNDAND OBJECTIVE: Several studies have shown that hospitals with trained and designated emergency personnel have improved survival performance and hospital discharge. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of trained team on improving the outcomes of CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR) in Imam Khomeini hospital, Tehran, Iran.METHODS: This clinical trial study was performed on 87 patients as control group and 53 as intervention group. In control group, after announcing CPR code, routine team (a nurse, Intern and medical resident) performed CPR. In intervention group CPR team included two trained nurses and an emergency medicine resident that were present in emergency department A checklist was used to evaluate the performance and quality of CPR team that was prepared based on American heart association. Physiologic variables and patient condition was obtained from the file. Data was analyzed by parametric and non-parametric statistical methods and p<0.05 was considered significant.FINDINGS: The results showed that the mean age of resuscitated patients in control group was 58.1±19.6 that in comparison to second group (59.4±19.2), there was no significant difference. Also there was no significant difference in physiologic variables of patients before occurrence of cardiac arrest in two groups. However survival in males was more successful but this difference was not statistically significant There was a significant difference in survival after CPR, between control and intervention group (18.4% versus 30%, p<0.01 and also the mean of hours' survival 28 versus 88.44 hours, p<0.001).CONCLUSION: According to the results of this study, trained and designated emergency personnel have improved event and survival. So CPR team TRAINING and continuing education for all nurses and residents should be considered. CPR team should be aware of up to date knowledge of CPR in order to decrease the mortality rate.
