ABSTRACT

CPR is a life saving procedure to be used when the heart and lungs have stopped working. There is a so much variation in the reported incidence and outcome for out of hospital cardiac arrest. Every nurses and physician should be skilled in CPR because cardiac arrest, the sudden cessation of breathing, and adequate circulation of blood by the heart, may occur at any time or in any place. A pre-experimental with one group pre-test and post-test research design was used in this study. Purposive sampling technique was used to select the sample and the sample size was 30 staff nurses. Data were collected by using structured knowledge questionnaire regarding CPR. Analysis of the data was done by using descriptive and inferential statistics. The Result showed that out of 30 samples the overall pre test Mean score of staff nurses was 17.33 (SD=3.6) and post test mean score increased to 29.9 (SD=2.49). The comparison mean difference in the present study was 12.60 (SE of mean D = 0.75) with paired‘t’ value of 16.77. Table value of‘t’ at 0.05 level of significance and 29 degrees of freedom is 2.045. As the calculated value was more than the table value, it was clearly found that the Structured Teaching Programme was effective in improving the knowledge of nursing Students regarding CPR. No significant association between the demographic variables such as age, gender, experience in year, religion, sources of information regarding CPR with post test knowledge scores of staff nurses.
