Objective: to evaluate the knowledge of basic education students before and after educational intervention on Basic Life Support in a situation of adult cardiorespiratory arrest. Method: quasi-experimental study conducted with 335 students from three elementary schools. Data was collected using an instrument that captured sociodemographic data and knowledge about Basic Life Support. Subsequently, they were analyzed by descriptive and analytical statistics. Results: students’ knowledge in the post-test (p <0.05) was significantly higher than in the pre-test. The average of the pre-test scores was 4.12 ± 1.7 and, in the post-test it was 6.53 ± 1.9 (p = 0.00). Conclusion: the results demonstrated effectiveness of the intervention with the expansion of knowledge about Basic Life Support in cardiorespiratory arrest. The results reinforce the importance of Nursing in health education actions in elementary schools.

Abstract Background Proper basic life support (BLS) is key in improving the survival of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. BLS skills deteriorate in three to 6 months after training. One method to improve skill retention may be using the “testing effect” to test skills at the end of a BLS course. The aim of our study was to investigate whether either testing or the timing of such testing after BLS training have any influence on skill retention. Methods This was a post-test only, partial coverage, prospective quasi-experimental study designed to evaluate a BLS training course among 464 fifth year medical students at Semmelweis University in the first semester of 2013/2014. Groups were systematically but non-randomly assigned to either a control group that took no exam or one of two experimental groups that took an exam (N = 179, NoExam group; N = 165, EndExam group – exam at the end of the BLS training; N = 120, 3mExam group – exam 3 months after the BLS training). The ability to perform ten prescribed essential BLS steps was evaluated during a skill retention assessment 2 months after the course in the NoExam, 2 months after the course (and the exam) in the EndExam and 5 months after the course (2 months after the exam) in the 3mExam group to measure skill retention and the effect of our intervention. Scores were calculated for each BLS step, and also summed up as a total score. We used Kruskal-Wallis test to assess differences in skill retention. Results Overall, NoExam and EndExam groups showed similar skill retention. The mean total score (and many of the sub-scores) of students was significantly higher in the 3mExam group compared to both the NoExam and the EndExam groups, and there was no difference in the total score (and many of the sub-scores) of the latter two groups. The 3mExam group had less variability in total scores (and many of the sub-scores) than the other two groups. Conclusion Our study provides evidence that testing these skills 3 months after BLS training may be more effective than either testing immediately at the end of the course or no testing at all.

Introduction: About 300.000 – 350.000 Indonesian people suffer from cardiac arrest each year. Basic Life Support (BLS) is the first immediate response needed by cardiac arrest people, especially the out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patient. BLS that given from public to OHCA could increase the survival rate up to 2 – 3x higher. Unfortunately, the Indonesian still did not know what is cardiac arrest, how to recognize it, and how to do BLS. Objective: The objective of this study was to identify the effect of BLS training in the knowledge and skill level of community in Sidodadi Village, Lawang, Indonesia. Method and Material: This experiment used a quasi-experimental design with 102 of the random sampling of people age 20-40 in Sidodadi Village, Lawang, Indonesia. The sample was given pre-test and post-test knowledge questioner before and after joining BLS training. The sample’s skill was scored by an assistant doctor using a skill checklist. The data then analysed with a t-paired sample test, Wilcoxon sum rank test, and Pearson correlation. Result and Discussion: The score of women is higher than men both in pre-test and post-test, with the significance of p=0,039 for pre-test and p=0,001. 99% who joined BLS training have a significant increase in knowledge with p=0,001. Conclusion: The increase in knowledge and skill is correlated for an excellent and good level of the score, but not correlated in a bad level. About 99% of people who have joined BLS training have a significant increase in knowledge and skill. These trained people have the willingness to be a bystander for cardiac arrest people near them.

ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate students’ learning in an online course on basic life support with immediate feedback devices, during a simulation of care during cardiorespiratory arrest. Method: a quasi-experimental study, using a before-and-after design. An online course on basic life support was developed and administered to participants, as an educational intervention. Theoretical learning was evaluated by means of a pre- and post-test and, to verify the practice, simulation with immediate feedback devices was used. Results: there were 62 participants, 87% female, 90% in the first and second year of college, with a mean age of 21.47 (standard deviation 2.39). With a 95% confidence level, the mean scores in the pre-test were 6.4 (standard deviation 1.61), and 9.3 in the post-test (standard deviation 0.82, p <0.001); in practice, 9.1 (standard deviation 0.95) with performance equivalent to basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation, according to the feedback device; 43.7 (standard deviation 26.86) mean duration of the compression cycle by second of 20.5 (standard deviation 9.47); number of compressions 167.2 (standard deviation 57.06); depth of compressions of 48.1 millimeter (standard deviation 10.49); volume of ventilation 742.7 (standard deviation 301.12); flow fraction percentage of 40.3 (standard deviation 10.03). Conclusion: the online course contributed to learning of basic life support. In view of the need for technological innovations in teaching and systematization of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, simulation and feedback devices are resources that favor learning and performance awareness in performing the maneuvers.

AIMS: To evaluate the learning retention of participants of a Basic Life Support course in a dental unit of a university hospital.METHODS: This study combined quantitative and qualitative methods in a quasi-experimental design, in which the same subjects were compared before and at two moments after an intervention, which consisted of a training course in Basic Life Support. The participants were employees of the Oral Health Unit of the University Hospital of Brasília. Three evaluations were performed: pre-test, post-test and late post-test, in order to assess participants' learning retention. In a second stage of the research, interviews were conducted with the participants approved in the retention learning test.RESULTS: At all, 66 professionals participated in the course and carried out the theoretical pre-test and the theoretical and practical post-test. One year and five months after the course, 10 participants were submitted to the late post-test, also theoretical and practical. Regarding the theoretical knowledge, the mean was 6.3±2.31 points in the pre-test, 8.3±1.25 points in the post-test and 5.1±1.44 points in the late post-test. Late post-test results revealed also that 70% of participants met the minimum theoretical knowledge requirement for approval (5 of 10 points) but only 20% passed the practical retention assessment. The two participants who passed the practical evaluation had repeated the training after the initial course.CONCLUSIONS: Basic Life Support training based on simulation resulted in practical and theoretical learning in cardiopulmonary resuscitation. However, the effect did not persist after one year and five months, except for participants who repeated the training during this period, indicating that the long term retention of this learning requires more opportunities for training or practice. Further studies are needed to investigate the ideal workload, the number of repetitions required during training and the appropriate frequency of training, as well as to obtain information about the influence of prior knowledge of the participants and the practice after training in retention of skills.

Massage will also stimulate the vagus nerve which will produce gastrin and insulin enzymes so that absorption of the digestive tract is better, the stomach is empty faster, and the baby will be hungry more often, so the baby will suckle more often, and the end result will be an increase in baby's weight. One of the most important indicators in assessing nutritional fulfillment in infants is taking into account body weight (Zulhaida, 2003). Weight is the most important anthropometric measure, used at every opportunity to examine the health of infants in all age groups (Soetjiningsih, 1998: 38). This research is a quasi-experimental study with pre and post test designs in the same group. The researcher will assess the nutritional status of infants aged 5-12 months before and after the traditional massage (pe'e). Sampling was carried out in Bolo Subdistrict, Bima District by using Purposive sampling, which was conducted in September to November 2018 with a total sample of 140 respondents. Data was collected using an observation sheet. The results of this study found that the weight of infants aged 5-12 months before peee was in the sub-normal category, the weight of infants aged 5-12 months experienced an increase after pe'e I and pe'e II, the results of data analysis found there was an influence weight gain before and after pee is done in infants aged 5-12 months
