Effectiveness of video self-instruction training on cardiopulmonary resuscitation retention of knowledge and skills among nurses in north-western Nigeria.

This study aims to compare Nurses' retention of cardiopulmonary resuscitation knowledge and skills level through video self-instruction training in northwestern Nigeria A randomized controlled trial study was implemented among 150 nurses in two referral hospitals. Stratified simple random using computer-generated random numbers were used to choose eligible nurses. After the training an immediate post-test evaluation was conducted, thereafter participants have no access to the training materials until the next follow-up test at 1-, 3- and 6 months. Generalized Estimated Equation showed no significant differences between the intervention group (p>.055) and control group (p>.121) for both CPR knowledge and skills levels respectively, adjusted with covariates. A significantly higher probability of having good knowledge and skills in a post-test, month and three-month follow-up compared to baseline respectively, adjusted with covariates (p<.05). Like knowledge participants at six-month follow-up had a lower probability of having good skills compared to baseline, adjusted with covariates (p<.003).

本研究旨在对比西北尼日利亚地区护士通过视频自我指导训练后心肺复苏知识的保留及技能水平。一项随机对照试验在两家 referral hospitals 对 150 名护士中实施。采用分层简单随机抽样法，利用计算机生成的随机数选择符合条件的护士。培训结束后，立即进行了即时后测评估。此后，参与者在下一次 1 个月、3 个月和 6 个月的随访测试之前，无法接触培训材料。广义估计方程显示，在干预组和对照组之间（p>0.055），以及心肺复苏知识和技能水平方面，调整协变量后均无显著差异。调整协变量后，与基线相比，后测、一个月和三个月随访中拥有良好知识和技能的概率显著更高（p<0.05）。在六个月随访时，与基线相比，拥有良好技能的概率较低，调整协变量后（p<0.003）。
