To Evaluate the Efficacy of Scenario-based Education on Understanding of Defibrillation among staff Nurses in a Selected Hospital in Bhopal

Abstract

The first medical personnel to notice a patient experiencing cardiac arrest are often nurses. Of all emergency situations, cardiac crises are the one that contributes most to the rates of death and morbidity. Using a non-probability convenient sampling strategy, the study was carried out at Chirayu Medical College And Hospital,Bhopal, with a sample size of 60 chosen.

The conceptual framework was developed using Imogene King's goal attainment model, and the present study employed a one-group pre test-post test research design. The structured knowledge questionnaire was employed to evaluate the knowledge of staff nurses regarding defibrillation. The data analysis revealed a substantial difference between the pre-test and post-test knowledge scores. Consequently, it was determined that the Scenario based  teaching significantly enhanced the knowledge of staff nurses regarding defibrillation.
