FACULTY OF MEDICINE AND PARAMEDIC SCHOOL STUDENTS’ BASIC LIFE SUPPORT SKILLS PRACTICE EVALUATION ON THE SIMULATION MANIKIN

Abstract

PURPOSE: Basic Life Support (BLS), is a life-saving and fundamental skill in resuscitation. The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of two students groups BLS skill training programme for school of medicine and paramedic school students on BLS skill manikin. METHODS: The study was conducted on a sample of 120 university students. The study group 1 (n=60) was choosed school of medicine students that were took part in a 4 hour theoretical course (1 hour a day in 1 week time), the control group 2 (n=60) was paramedic school students that were took part in a 8 hour theoretical course (two hours a week in a 4-week span). They were examined in practical BLS skills performed on a Resusci Anne® Skill Guide manikin (Laerdal, Norway). In the exam students had to perform all rescue actions in accordance with the adult BLS skills was evaluated on the basis of the quality of the performance score. RESULTS: The study Group 1 achieved 50 % Advanced CPR performer, 40 % internediate CPR performer, 10% basic CPR performer and the control Group 2 achieved 70 % advanced CPR performer, 26.7% intermediate CPR performer, and 3.3% basic CPR performer. These differences were important for statistical (p<0.05) CONCLUTİON: It seemes that the duration of a BLS education is most important factor that determines its effectiveness. Long and repeated time education are more effective than short time education for learning BLS training.

TIP FAKÜLTESİ İLE İLK VE ACİL YARDIM PROGRAMI ÖĞRENCİLERİNİN TEMEL YAŞAM DESTEĞİ BECERİ UYGULAMALARININ SİMÜLASYON MANKENİ ÜZERİNDE DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Abstract

ÖZET AMAÇ: Temel Yaşam Desteği (TYD) uygulaması, kalbi ve solunumu durmuş bireylerde hayat kurtarıcıdır. Kardiyopulmoner resüsitasyon (KPR) eğitimi ideal olarak simülasyon mankeni üzerinde öğretilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, simülasyon mankeni üzerinde tıp ve paramedik okulu öğrencilerinin TYD beceri uygulamasının etkinliğini karşılaştırmaktır. YÖNTEM: Bu çalışmaya sağlık eğitimi alan 120 öğrenci dahil edilmiştir. Grup 1 ( Tıp Fakültesi (TF) öğrencisi, n=60), 4 saat, Grup 2 (Paramedik Okulu (PM) öğrencisi, n=60), 8 saat teorik TYD dersi alan üniversite öğrencilerinden oluşturuldu. TYD pratik becerileri, Resusci Anne® mankeni (Laerdal, Norway) üzerinde değerlendirildi. Uygulayıcıların yeterliliği TYD kurtarıcı eylemleri performans puanı kalitesine göre karşılaştırıldı. BULGULAR: Grup 1 için KPR uygulama başarısı; % 10 temel düzey, % 40 orta düzey,% 50 ileri düzey olarak bulunurken, Grup 2 KPR uygulama başarısı; % 3.3’ü temel düzey, %26.7’si orta düzey ve % 70’i ileri düzey olarak tespit edildi ve aradaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulundu (p<0.05). SONUÇ: TYD eğitiminin etkin ve kaliteli yapılabilmesi, verilen eğitimin süresi, etkinliği ve başarıyı belirleyen önemli bir faktör olarak değerlendirildi. TYD becerilerindeki öğrenmeyi arttırmak için; TYD eğitim süresinin uzun olması, eğitimde simülasyon mankeni kullanılması ve hızlı geri bildirim verilmesi öğrenme verimini artıracağı için önerilmektedir.
