Effect of rescue work training in nursing students with a novel device: A quasi-experimental study.

Aims: The aim of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of an intervention for the training of nursing students in rescue work of a traumatized patient using the Snaid® device.

Methods: A quasi-experimental one group pretest-posttest study was carried out. A total of 107 nursing students participated.

Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Spanish version of the Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Motivation Scale (s-CPRMS): a cross sectional study.

Background: Cardiac arrest remains a serious global health issue worldwide which claims for review and improvement. High motivation among resuscitators could lead to high-quality resuscitation and better outcomes. This study aimed to translate and cross-culturally adapt the Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Motivation Scale into Spanish and assess the psychometric properties of the Spanish version (s-CPRMS).

Self-Efficacy in the Cannulation Technique for Intraosseous Access in Pediatric Cardiac Arrest: Egg Versus Bone.

Objectives: The use of intraosseous (IO) access is recommended in cardiac arrest when peripheral venous access is not accessible. Various methodologies exist that are used for teaching and learning about cannulation of the IO route both in education and in research. The purpose of the present study was to compare self-efficacy in the cannulation technique for IO access through different techniques.

What is essential remains invisible to the eyes? Blood pressure cuffs colonized by bacterial diversity.

Using sphygmomanometers to measure blood pressure is a common practice in the healthcare context. The disinfection and maintenance of these devices is essential in clinical practice to prevent the proliferation of microorganisms. The aim of this study was to determine the presence of pathogenic microorganisms in sphygmomanometer cuffs in the clinical setting.

Worldviews on Evidence-Based Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Using a Novel Method.

The evaluation of scientific content by researchers, as well as the knowledge networks and working groups of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, can help to improve and expand new scientific evidence in this field. The aim of this study was to identify the global scientific publications on cardiopulmonary resuscitation research using a novel method. The method used was based on obtaining bibliographic data automatically from scientific publications through the use of the Scopus Database API Interface.

Time out! Pauses during advanced life support in high-fidelity simulation: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Prolonged preshock pauses are associated with negative effects on patient outcomes and survival. A greater understanding of these pauses may help to improve the quality of advanced life support (ALS) and clinical outcomes.

Objective: The objective of this study was to identify the pauses that occur during ALS situations in high-fidelity simulation scenarios and the frequency and duration of these pauses.

Guess it (SVUAL): An app designed to help nursing students acquire and retain knowledge about basic and advanced life support techniques.

To design an app that helps nursing students to acquire and retain knowledge of Basic and Advanced Life Support techniques, as well as analyze the students' gamification experience. The study had two phases: 1) App design and development and 2) experimental study. A total of 184 students participated, with 92 in the experimental group and 92 in the control group.

Using a Mobile Phone Application Versus Telephone Assistance During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: A Randomized Comparative Study.

Introduction: In recent years, the way CPR instructions are given has changed because of the development of new technology that allows bystanders who witness a cardiac arrest to be guided in performing CPR. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of using a mobile phone application (app) versus telephone operator assistance in performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques in simulated settings.

Methods: A comparative study was performed with 2 intervention groups: (1) mobile phone app and (2) telephone assistance.

The Influence of Gamification on Decision Making in Nursing Students.

Background: Gamification provides nursing students with a setting in which they can practice clinical reasoning and decision making in a realistic and secure way. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of gamification on decision making in nursing students.

Method: A quasi-experimental study was performed with a control group and an experimental group.

How to measure gamification experiences in nursing? Adaptation and validation of the Gameful Experience Scale [GAMEX].

Background: There has been an increasing amount of research in the last few years on the use of gamification in nursing. However, there is not yet a suitable measuring instrument that fully captures the emotional qualities that arise with the use of gamification.

Objectives: To culturally adapt and validate the Gameful Experience Scale used among nursing students as well as understand their game experience.
