简要总结
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a significant global health challenge, responsible for a substantial proportion of deaths worldwide. Immediate interventions, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation, are crucial for achieving optimal outcomes such as restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival until hospital discharge.
Studies reveal that OHCA incidents are prevalent, with an average global incidence rate of 55 cases per 100,000 person-years. In the Gulf Cooperative Council (GCC) region, including Qatar, the majority of OHCA cases occur at home, emphasizing the importance of community-based interventions.
In Qatar, the supreme council of health mandates resuscitation certification for healthcare providers, with renewal periods varying based on the level of the resuscitation.
course. However, private home nurses, who often encounter OHCA cases first, may lack.
adequate CPR training. Unlike Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) facilities, there are no dedicated CPR trainers for the private healthcare sector.
Training methods incorporating Kolb's Experiential Learning Cycle and Fleming's VAK model can enhance nurses' knowledge and practice. Kolb's model emphasizes experiential learning through reflection and active experimentation, while VAK tailors teaching methods to learners' preferences, including visual, auditory, reading/writing, and kinesthetic styles.
The private healthcare sector in Qatar, with around 5,846 nurses, including approximately 800 providing private nursing services at homes, plays a vital role in delivering healthcare services to the community. However, without adequate CPR training and support, private home nurses may not effectively manage OHCA cases.
To address this gap, it is crucial to establish official CPR training programs for private healthcare sectors, similar to those in HMC facilities. By incorporating diverse learning models and ensuring regular training sessions, private home nurses can acquire the necessary competencies to effectively respond to OHCA incidents, ultimately improving patient outcomes and reducing mortality rates in the community, A quasi-experimental (Pre-test and post-test) research design will be utilized t to evaluate the Influence of VAK and Kolb's Learning Theories on Basic Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Knowledge and Practices among Private Home Nurses in Qatar. This design facilitates the evaluation of the training's effectiveness by measuring changes in CPR knowledge and skills over time within the same group of nurses. Consequently, it offers valuable insights into the practical outcomes of the training interventions, aligning closely with the study's aim.
详细描述
- Introduction/Background Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a global health challenge, with an average incidence of 55 cases per 100,000 person-years. In Qatar, OHCA cases are prevalent, with 87.8 per 100,000 population. Most cases occur at home, highlighting the need for community-based CPR training. Private home nurses, who often encounter OHCA cases, lack formal CPR training. This study explores the application of Kolb's Experiential Learning cycle and Fleming's VAK learning model to enhance CPR knowledge and practices among private home nurses in Qatar.
- Objectives
Primary Objective:
To assess the influence of an educational program on basic CPR knowledge and practices among private home nurses, categorized according to Kolb's Experiential Learning cycle and Fleming's VAK learning model.
Secondary Objectives:
- Evaluate baseline CPR knowledge and practices before training.
- Implement and assess the impact of training programs based on Kolb's and VAK models.
- Compare post-intervention CPR knowledge and practices between the two groups.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in CPR Knowledge and Practical Skills Score from Baseline to Post-Training at Immediate, 6-Month, and 9-Month Intervals, Assessed by Standardized Questionnaire and Practical Skills Checklist
时间窗: 9 months
CPR knowledge will be measured using a standardized multiple-choice questionnaire (MCQ) with a total score range of \[0 to 15\], and practical skills will be assessed using a CPR skills checklist based on ERC guidelines. Scores greater than 60% will be categorized as satisfactory, and scores less than 60% will be categorized as unsatisfactory. Changes in scores will be measured at three intervals: immediately post-training, at 6 months, and at 9 months.
次要结局
- Baseline CPR Knowledge and Practical Skills Scores of Private Home Nurses(9 months)
- CPR Knowledge and Practical Skills Score After Training Based on Kolb's Experiential Learning Cycle at Immediate, 6-Month, and 9-Month Intervals(9 months)
- CPR Knowledge and Practical Skills Score After Training Based on Fleming's VAK Learning Model at Immediate, 6-Month, and 9-Month Intervals(9 months)
- Comparison of Post-Training CPR Knowledge and Practical Skills Scores Between Kolb's Experiential Learning Cycle Group and Fleming's VAK Learning Model Group at Immediate, 6-Month, and 9-Month Intervals(9 months)
