Cardiopulmonary resuscitation retention training for hospital nurses by a self-learner skill station or the traditional instructor led course: A randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Intrahospital cardiac arrest has a steep mortality and high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is essential for favourable outcome. Instructor led (IL) CPR training is resource demanding and instructor free, feedback providing CPR skill stations (SS) could provide a means to enable the needed frequent retraining. The main objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that there was no difference between IL and SS training.

Methods

A total of 129 hospital nurses were randomised to CPR retraining in three groups; skill station with retraining at 2 months (SS-R), skill station without retraining (SS) and instructor led training (IL). Participants were tested at baseline, 2 and 8 months. The skill station groups were combined (c-SS) for analysis at bas
