Article Abstract
Background: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training is crucial for nursing students as future nurses are the first responders in the ambulatory and hospital care chain. Simulation-based learning has been shown to be more effective in acquiring the knowledge and technical and non-technical skills required for CPR. The present study aims to evaluate the impact of high-fidelity simulation-based adult CPR training on the acquisition and retention of knowledge and the development of technical and non-technical skills of nursing students at the Higher Institute of Nursing Professions and Health Techniques in Fez, Morocco.
Methods: We conducted an interventional study with 49 nursing students. Twenty-five students (51.02%) in the simulation group received both traditional CPR training (theoretical lecture and demonstration of procedures) and simulation CPR training, while 24 students (48.97%) in the control group received only traditional training. Data were obtained using a questionnaire on theoretical knowledge of CPR, a technical skills assessment grid, and the Team Emergency Assessment Measure (TEAM) for non-technical skills.
Results: The post-test scores for theoretical knowledge immediately after simulation were significantly higher for the simulation group (16.41±1.73 out of 20) than for the control group (13.15±1.96 out of 20). Mean CPR knowledge retention scores 30 days after training were significantly higher in the simulation group (15.60±1.71) compared with the control group (11.38±1.93). Assessment of technical skills on a high-fidelity mannequin showed a considerable advantage for the simulation group (30.88±1.64 out of 34) over the control group (18.00±0.78 out of 34). In addition, the results demonstrated a significant difference between the TEAM score of the simulation group (37.84±2.67 out of 44) and the control group (22.33±0.96 out of 44) and a significant difference between the Global Team Performance of the simulation group (8.16±0.68) out of 10 and the control group (4.83±0.38).
Conclusion: The findings demonstrated that adult CPR training using high-fidelity simulation was superior to the traditional method with regard to knowledge acquisition and retention and the development of technical and non-technical skills in undergraduate nursing students.
