Not Applicable
Conditions

Interventions
Other: educational intervention
Registration Number
NCT03626272
Lead Sponsor
Federal University of Health Science of Porto Alegre
Brief Summary

Introduction: In situ simulation is a methodology that meets the concept of permanent education, since it allows learning from the context of practice and in the work environment itself.

Objective: to compare the development of skills (knowledge and skills) for CPR between groups submitted to different in situ simulation periodicities, and to identify the level of confidence to participate in a CPR.

Method: A randomized controlled, non-blind study comparing 3 periodicities of educational intervention performed by in situ simulation. This study will include nursing professionals from the nephrology department of a university hospital. The sample will be composed of 24 randomized participants in the groups, using opaque envelopes for each periodicity of training and professional category, being subdivided into 3 groups of periodicities with intervals of 2, 4 and 8 months. The instruments will evaluate the knowledge and skills in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the perception of preparation for performing the maneuvers.

Detailed Description

The objective is to compare the development of skills (knowledge and skills) for CPR between groups submitted to different in situ simulation periodicities, and to identify the level of confidence to attend a CPR.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Average number of hits in the accomplishment of a set of skills.Group A was evaluated when receiving the intervention every eight months, group B every four months, and group C every two months.

To compare, among groups exposed to the periodicity of different interventions, the average/median/standard deviation of hits in the accomplishment of a set of skills that matches the CPR procedures. Group A was evaluated when receiving the intervention every eight months, group B every four months, and group C every two months.

The Kruskal-Wallis Test was applied to compare the significance of the average outcomes among groups.

Average agreement in the preparation for CPRup to eight months

To Measure the average/median/standard deviation, referring to the agreement level of preparation for the accomplishment of CPR, in order to check the impact of the intervention performed according to the periodicity of application.

The following tests were used to make comparisons among groups: Wilcoxon Test; Estimate of the size of the Cohen's d effect (paired data); Kruskal-Wallis Test - Dunn's Post Hoc; Cohen's d: Effect size measures by the "Cohen's d" method complemented by the Confidence Interval 95%.

Average number of hits in the test of knowledge on cardiopulmonary resuscitationup to eight months

Measurement of the average/median/standard deviation of hits in the questions of the knowledge test, in each group (A, B, C,). This measurement was performed in two moments:

* Pre and post initial intervention: measure performed to evaluate the impact of the initial intervention on the participants' knowledge about the issue.

* After simulation intervention: measurement performed to evaluate the impact of the simulation intervention on the maintenance of knowledge, according to the periodicity group of intervention where the participant was allocated.

The measurement was applied to all groups at the same moments. The following tests were used to make comparisons among groups: Wilcoxon Test; Estimate of the size of the Cohen's d effect (paired data); Kruskal-Wallis Test - Dunn's Post Hoc; Cohen's d: Effect size measures by the " Cohen's d" method complemented by the Confidence Interval 95%.
