“… 25 Conversely, Irfan et al observed that greater experience among Pakistani physicians correlated with better BLS knowledge, 14 aligning with Sánchez et al’s findings among more experienced Spanish doctors having more certifications and hence greater CPR knowledge. 33 Despite these contradictions, we hypothesize that the difference in our study might be because younger and non-specialized Ecuadorian doctors are more likely to work with critically ill patients, mainly in emergency departments. As physicians specialize, their interaction with emergency services decreases.…”

Purpose Cardiorespiratory arrest’s unpredictability poses a global health challenge, with gaps in physicians’ life support knowledge potentially leading to poor patient outcomes, a factor yet unstudied among Ecuadorian physicians. This study aims to elucidate the state of physicians’ theoretical knowledge in Ecuador based on Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Life Support (ALS) guidelines. Patients and methods A national cross-sectional online 35-questions survey was conducted between February and March 2023 using a self-administered, expert-validated questionnaire. Participants’ responses were obtained through official social media groups (WhatsApp and Facebook). The survey evaluated the theoretical knowledge of BLS and ALS, with scores based on the number of correct answers out of a maximum of 10.0 points. For descriptive analysis, frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations (SD) were used. The T -test and one-way ANOVA were utilized to analyze the associations between knowledge levels and demographic and academic training variables of Ecuadorian doctors. Values of p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant for all analyses. Results The survey garnered responses from 385 physicians, with a majority being female (56.6%) and possessing less than 3 years of work experience (75.1%). Of these, 71.7% and 51.9% held BLS and ALS certifications, respectively. Knowledge scores for BLS (5.8/10 ± 1.6) surpassed those for ALS (4.7/10 ± 1.8) (p < 0.001). Physicians with less than 3 years of work experience exhibited higher knowledge scores in both BLS and ALS tests (p < 0.05). Conclusion This study revealed a notable deficiency in the theoretical knowledge of BLS and ALS among surveyed Ecuadorian physicians. Factors such as prior certification and years of work experience appeared to influence knowledge levels. Continual training and updates in life support protocols at universities and healthcare institutions are key to enhancing physicians’ skills and patient outcomes.

“…Moreover, the results of the regression model showed that emergency department nurses had higher scores in the dimensions of feeling of achievement, high chances of success, low chances of success, perceived importance, and beliefs. The results of a study indicated that the respondents who worked in high-risk areas for cardiac arrest such as emergency department and/or were nursing personnel working continuously in close contact with patients were more motivated to learn CPR compared to the other hospital personnel [44]. Furthermore, the results of another study in Iran showed that the motivation of more than 65% of the nurses in emergency department ranged from intermediate level to high level [45].…”

Background Nurse motivation can have a significant impact on the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the patients’ survival. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine nurses’ motivation for performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Methods This cross-sectional study focused on 217 nurses in a teaching hospital in Iran, in 2023. A random sample of nurses was selected from four hospital departments (emergency, critical care, medical, and surgery). These nurses completed the demographic information and motivation for cardiopulmonary resuscitation questionnaires. The data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney, Spearman coefficients, and Kruskal-Wallis and multiple linear regression tests. Results The mean score of the dimension of the feeling of achievement (4.10 ± 0.50) was high in the nurses’ motivation for performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation. There were more motivational factors in the emergency department compared to the other departments in terms of the feeling of achievement, high chance of success, low chances of success, recognition and appreciation, perceived importance, and beliefs (p < 0.05). The nurses who had participated in cardiopulmonary resuscitation workshops and had a bachelor’s degree had a higher mean score in the dimension of perceived importance (p < 0.05). The correlation coefficient showed that there was a significant negative correlation between the nurses’ frequency of participation in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and their motivation scores in the dimensions of the feeling of achievement(r=-0.170), low chances of success(r=-0.183), perceived importance (r = -0.302), and beliefs (r = -0.250; p < 0.05). The department variable predicted the motivation score in the dimensions of feeling of achievement, high chance of success, low chance of success, perceived importance, and beliefs. The sex variable predicted the motivation score in the dimensions of facilitator of resuscitation and high chance of success. Besides, the variable of years of membership in the CPR team predicted the motivation score in the feeling of achievement and high chance of success (p < 0.05). Conclusion Nurses would be more motivated to perform a quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation if they had a feeling of success. The nurses’ motivation was affected by certain factors such as their department, sex, education level, years of membership in CPR team, number of participation in CPR, and participation in educational workshops.

“…The CPR maneuver is one of the most difficult procedures in the health environment because it requires a large dexterity and agility to perform it in a really short time period. It is necessary to have some years of experience in an emergency service, and to receive some further training to acquire a high level of competency with this maneuver [14]. Moreover, it is a technique that carries a big emotional charge since the life of a person depends on the ability of the practitioner [15].…”

The aim of the present research was to analyze the autonomic stress response of nursing students in a nursing Objective Structured Clinical Evaluation (OSCE). We analyzed, in 41 s-year nursing degree students (20.1 ± 2.3 years), modifications in heart rate variability (HRV) to monitor the autonomic stress response before, during and after the 18 different scenarios of a complete OSCE. Heart rate mean response of nurse students was consistent with an anticipatory anxiety response at the beginning of the OSCE, showing a sympathetic nervous system activation, but HRV parameters show contradictory results. The most stressful OSCE station was the CPR maneuver, the stress response varying according to the station’s demands.
