Objective: To identify, in the perception of nurses, the factors that affect the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in adult inpatient units, and investigate the influence of both work shifts and professional experience length of time in the perception of these factors. Method: A descriptive, exploratory study conducted at a hospital specialized in cardiology and pneumology with the application of a questionnaire to 49 nurses working in inpatient units. Results: The majority of nurses reported that the high number of professionals in the scenario (75.5%), the lack of harmony (77.6%) or stress of any member of staff (67.3%), lack of material and/or equipment failure (57.1%), lack of familiarity with the emergency trolleys (98.0%) and presence of family members at the beginning of the cardiopulmonary arrest assistance (57.1%) are factors that adversely affect the quality of care provided during CPR. Professional experience length of time and the shift of nurses did not influence the perception of these factors. Conclusion: The identification of factors that affect the quality of CPR in the perception of nurses serves as parameter to implement improvements and training of the staff working in inpatient units.

“…Em contrapartida, enfermeiras que participavam de algum treinamento de reanimação registravam uma maior competência e eficácia nas manobras e estavam mais confiantes de suas habilidades [19]. A literatura também identifica os programas de treinamento como capazes de eliminar a ansiedade e aumentar a autoconfiança em lidar com uma PCR [2,5,26,27]. Uma revisão da literatura brasileira indicou ainda que dentre todos os profissionais de saúde treinados por métodos de simulação os enfermeiros eram os maiores beneficiados no que diz respeito à autoconfiança [6].…”

“…Para a redução dessa mortalidade, a proficiência no atendimento de emergências cardiovasculares é essencial. A reanimação cardiopulmonar (RCP), quando realizada de maneira adequada, é uma alternativa eficiente para a melhora da sobrevida e do prognóstico dos pacientes em situação de emergência cardiovascular [2,3].…”

RESUMOOBJETIVO: Esse trabalho visa avaliar um modelo de curso para a capacitação da equipe de enfermagem no atendimento de urgências e emergências, estabelecendo o período pelo qual o conhecimento adquirido no curso é memorizado e o prazo em que deveria ser reaplicado para garantir a proficiência. MÉTODOS: Foram selecionados 45 profissionais da enfermagem que atuavam nas unidades de cardiologia e aplicado um pré-teste de 20 questões de múltipla escolha, avaliando o conhecimento prévio da equipe. Após o pré-teste, ministrou-se um curso teórico-prático presencial acerca do reconhecimento de pacientes críticos e manejo inicial de uma parada cardiorrespiratória, praticando as manobras de reanimação em um manequim. Após o curso era reaplicado o mesmo teste para identificar se houve melhora no número de acertos. Dentro de três e seis meses o teste foi novamente aplicado, a fim de estabelecer a taxa de memorização do conhecimento no período. RESULTADOS: Observamos que a média de acertos no pré-teste foi de 9,4±3,3 questões. No pós-teste imediato houve um aumento da média de acertos para 15,3±2 questões. Após três meses, o número médio de acertos caiu para 12±3,1 questões e transcorridos seis meses foi de 10±3,3 questões. Foi possível identificar ainda que os profissionais que atuavam na Unidade de Cuidados Intensivos e Hemodinâmica apresentaram um maior número de acertos (12,6±3,42) quando comparados com os profissionais que atuavam na Enfermaria (9,4±4,4). Realizando uma análise regressiva, observamos uma melhora estatisticamente significativa nos resultados dos testes logo após o treinamento e em três meses (p<0.05) -o que não ocorreu em seis meses. CONCLUSÃO: Podemos inferir a partir da melhora no número de acertos que o modelo de curso teórico-prático presencial foi efetivo em promover a capacitação dos profissionais da enfermagem. No entanto, a fixação do conhecimento decai ao longo dos meses, retornando a valores próximos do inicial em seis meses. ABSTRACTAIMS: This work aims to evaluate a course model for the training of the nursing team in emergency care, as well as establishing the period which the knowledge acquired in the course is still memorized and when the course should be reministered to guarantee the professional's proficiency. METHODS: We selected 45 nursing professionals who worked at the Cardiology Units of the Hospital de Clínicas of the Federal University of Paraná. In this group, a pre-test of 20 multiple choice questions was applied, mentioning the previous knowledge of the team. After the pre-test, a two-hour theoretical-practical course was given on the recognition of severe patients and initial management of a cardiorespiratory arrest, practicing ventilation maneuvers and chest compression on a manikin. After the course, the same test was reapplied to identify if there was improvement in the number of correct answers. Within three and six months the test was again applied in order to establish the knowledge storage rate over that period. RESULTS: We observed that the average accuracy in the pr...

Introduction:Knowing the basic life support (BLS) technique is an essential requirement for all individuals of a community in order to save lives in an emergency. The awareness level about the proper techniques of BLS is questionable among medical personnel. Aim of the research: This prospective observational study was conducted to assess the awareness level of the basic resuscitation principles in Southwest Iran. Material and methods: The aspects that were asked in this questionnaire include the following items: the basic resuscitation stages, and methods of assessment and resuscitation with regard to airway, respiration, and blood circulation in the victims according to age group. Results: In total, 202 people employed in the hospital participated in this study. The mean scores of those who had already completed BLS education was 8.45 ±2.42 and in the individuals who had heard about these technique it was 7.31 ±2.71 (p = 0.002). This relation was statistically significant. The knowledge of specialised assistants was significantly higher than health care providers and their assistants as well as medical intern groups (p < 0.001). In addition, the knowledge of nursing experts was significantly higher than the health care providers and their assistants (p = 0.004) and medical interns (p = 0.002). Conclusions:This study showed that the awareness level of the cardiopulmonary resuscitation principles among different health care departments (health care providers, nurses, and physicians) is low, and holding education courses with a minimum of 6-month intervals is necessary. In addition, for medical interns, basic medical education should start from basic medical sciences. StreszczenieWprowadzenie: Znajomość podstawowych zabiegów resuscytacyjnych (BLS) to podstawowy wymóg dla wszystkich osób, które zajmują się ratowaniem życia w nagłych przypadkach. Poziom znajomości tych technik wśród personelu medycznego budzi wątpliwości. Cel pracy: Prospektywne badanie obserwacyjne przeprowadzono w celu oceny znajomości podstawowych zasad resuscytacji w południowo-zachodnim Iranie. Materiał i metody: Pytania w kwestionariuszu dotyczyły takich zagadnień, jak podstawowe etapy i metody resuscytacji, metody oceny dróg oddechowych, oddychania i krążenia krwi u ofiar w zależności od grupy wiekowej. Wyniki: Łącznie w badaniu uczestniczyły 202 osoby zatrudnione w szpitalu. Średnie wyniki osób, które ukończyły edukację na temat BLS, wynosiły 8,45 ±2,42, a osób, które słyszały o tych technikach -7,31 ±2,71 (p = 0,002). Różnica była statystycznie istotna. Znajomość technik BLS wśród wyspecjalizowanych ratowników była znacznie wyższa niż wśród pracowników ochrony zdrowia i personelu pomocniczego oraz stażystów (p < 0,001). Ponadto wiedza pielęgniarek była znacznie wyższa niż pracowników ochrony zdrowia i personelu pomocniczego (p = 0,004) oraz stażystów (p = 0,002).
