“…Inadequate level of BLS knowledge amongst nurses was found in studies conducted in United States of America (USA) [8], the United Kingdom (UK) [7], Finland [9] and Ireland [3]. Similar trend was also observed in countries like Bahrain [10], Greece [11], Nigeria [12] South Africa [13] and Ethiopia [14] but to our knowledge no previous study has been conducted in Eritrea to determine the effect of BLS training on the knowledge of nurses.…”

Background: In Eritrea nurses provide most of the health care in the primary, secondary and tertiary level health facilities. The rate of trauma and medical emergencies are on the increase so nurses should have adequate and updated knowledge on Basic Life Support in order to be able to implement effective interventions in cardiac arrest situations. Aim: The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of structured training programme regarding Adult Basic Life Support on knowledge of nurses.Method: A quasi-experimental single group, pretest-posttest and retest design was utilized. Forty (40) nurses’ participated in the study. Structured and modified questionnaire was used to collect data.Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 22.0 program. Frequencies, percentages, mean and standard deviation was used to describe the data. One way repeated measures of ANOVA was used to check the possible change in knowledge of the nurses at pre- intervention, immediate and three months’ after intervention. A p-value < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.Results: The findings showed an acquisition of Adult Basic Life Support knowledge among the study participants following a four hour Basic Life Support training programme. Before training, the mean score of the study participant on knowledge questions was 9.58/20 and none of the respondents got a pass mark. Immediately after the training the mean score of the study participants was increased to 15.9/20 and 55.0% of the study participant got a passing mark. Significant deterioration from the immediate training score was found three months following Basic Life Support training as score was decreased to 14.9 and 40% of the respondents got a pass mark. Nurses’ knowledge was improved from their pre-training scores, which clearly indicated a positive retention in Basic Life Support knowledge after training. Conclusions: The study findings present strong evidence that support the critical role of structured training programme about Adult Basic Life Support in improving nurses knowledge.

“…However, the number of participants calling themselves qualified is still far beyond that of another study in which only 5.9% of the health professionals surveyed felt qualified. 16 On the other hand, this study showed that most participants already had participated in Basic Life Support (BLS) training courses when compared to other studies 8,10 in which professionals had never participated in similar training.…”

Resultados:Os técnicos e auxiliares apresentaram melhor desempenho no pós-teste,respectivamente, 161% e 180 %. O maior desempenho foi no reconhecimentoda parada cardiorrespiratória (PCR), 83,3 % para auxiliares e 83, 6 % paratécnicos. Uma das principais limitações do estudo foi não se ter realizadonenhuma coleta de dados em relação à prática profissional antes e após otreinamento.

“…The Owojuyigbe et al (2015) study states that 75% of respondents obtained sufficient BLS knowledge after attending the training. 7 However, there are a number of studies that have not significantly decreased the value of knowledge after receiving the BLS training, namely the Bhatnagar et al (2017). It happened because of various factors that require further research.…”

Introduction: About 300.000 -350.000 Indonesian people suffer from cardiac arrest each year. Basic Life Support (BLS) is the first immediate response needed by cardiac arrest people, especially the out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patient. BLS that given from public to OHCA could increase the survival rate up to 2 -3x higher. Unfortunately, the Indonesian still did not know what is cardiac arrest, how to recognize it, and how to do BLS. Objective: The objective of this study was to identify the effect of BLS training in the knowledge and skill level of community in Sidodadi Village, Lawang, Indonesia. Method and Material: This experiment used a quasi-experimental design with 102 of the random sampling of people age 20-40 in Sidodadi Village, Lawang, Indonesia. The sample was given pre-test and post-test knowledge questioner before and after joining BLS training. The sample's skill was scored by an assistant doctor using a skill checklist. The data then analysed with a t-paired sample test, Wilcoxon sum rank test, and Pearson correlation. Result and Discussion: The score of women is higher than men both in pre-test and post-test, with the significance of p=0,039 for pre-test and p=0,001. 99% who joined BLS training have a significant increase in knowledge with p=0,001. Conclusion: The increase in knowledge and skill is correlated for an excellent and good level of the score, but not correlated in a bad level. About 99% of people who have joined BLS training have a significant increase in knowledge and skill. These trained people have the willingness to be a bystander for cardiac arrest people near them.Pendahuluan: Sekitar 300.000 -350.000 masyarakat Indonesia mengalami henti jantung setiap tahunnya. Basic Life Support (BLS) adalah pertolongan pertama yang diperlukan oleh korban henti jantung, terutama henti jantung yang terjadi diluar rumah sakit (out of hospital cardiac arrest-OHCA). BLS yang diberikan oleh awam pada OHCA mampu meningkatkan survival rate sebanyak 2 hingga 3x lipat. Sayangnya, masyarakat Indonesia masih banyak yang belum mengetahui apa itu henti jantung, bagaimana cara mengenalinya, dan bagaimana cara melakukan BLS. Tujuan: Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh pelatihan BLS terhadap tingkat pengetahuan dan keterampilan masyarakat dalam memberikan pertolongan pertama henti jantung di Desa Sidodadi, Kecamatan Lawang, Indonesia. Metode dan Bahan: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain quasi eksperimental dengan 102 random sampling dari penduduk berusia 20-40 tahun di Desa Sidodadi, Kecamatan Lawang, Indonesia. Sampel diminta untuk mengisi pretest pengetahuan, mengikuti pelatihan BLS, dan mengisi posttest pengetahuan. Keterampilan sampel dinilai oleh dokter muda menggunakan ceklis keterampilan. Data dianalisis dengan uji t berpasangan, wilcoxon sum rank test, dan uji korelasi pearson. Hasil dan Pembahasan: Nilai pretest dan postest perempuan lebih tinggi daripada pria, dengan nilai signifikansi p=0,039 untuk pretest dan p=0,001. 99% peserta yang mengikuti pelatihan BLS mengalami pen...
