Comparison of the Effect of Traditional and MannequinBased Simulation Teaching of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation on Knowledge and Practice of Emergency Medicine Students

Background & Objective: Nursing care in terms of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) requires education that causes a better and deep learning of the science and practical skills The current study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effect of traditional and mannequinbased simulation teaching of CPR on knowledge and practice of emergency medicine students Methods: This experimental study was conducted using intervention and control groups and pretest and posttest The students were randomly divided into two groups of ۱۵ individuals In the experimental group the students were trained through mannequinbased stimulation In the control group traditional CPR training method was used The scientific knowledge and skills of the participants were assessed in three stages of before the study at the end of the semester and ۴ months after the intervention using a researchermade questionnaire and checklist The collected data were analyzed using ttest and repeated measurement test Results: The results showed no significant difference between the mean and standard deviation of the theory test and practical skill assessment in the control and intervention group before the study (P > ۰۰۵) At the end of the semester the scores of the control group were respectively۱۴۸۶ ± ۱۹۲ and ۲۲۵۳ ± ۱۸۴ and of the intervention group were respectively ۱۴۸۰ ± ۱۶۹ and ۳۴۸۰ ± ۵۰۵ There was only a significant difference between the two groups in the practical test score (P = ۰۰۰۱) Four months after the intervention scores of the control group were ۱۰۳۳ ± ۳۲۶ and ۱۹۴ ± ۲۱۳ and of the intervention group were ۱۱۸۶ ± ۱۸۸ and ۳۴۸۰ ± ۵۰۵ respectively Yet again only the practical test score showed significant difference between two groups (P = ۰۰۰۱) Conclusion: Based on the results of the study it is suggested that the mannequinbased stimulation method of teaching be used for training emergency medicine students
