Method
This time series study was conducted on all graduating nursing students who were passing their internship period during 2011-2012. Data collection instrument had two parts including demographics form and a checklist for assessment of CPR skills (including closed chest compression، tracheal intubation، using of defibrillator and CPR management). Descriptive statistics were used for reporting the findings.
Findings
Seeking no help was the most frequent mistake made by the students in the domain of cardiac massage and artificial ventilation، both in the first and the third assessment. Only 41. 67% and 32. 61% of the students sought help in the first and the third assessment، respectively. Pressing the laryngoscope blade on the teeth was also the most common mistake in the domain of using the laryngoscope; so that only 50% of the students performed this action correctly in all the three assessments. The most common error in the domain of defibrillation was ignoring repetition of the defibrillation in cases the patient’s cardiac rhythm did not returned to normal، so that only 52. 08%، 28% and 21. 74% of the students performed defibrillation correctly in all the three assessments، respectively.
Conclusion
Most of the students were evaluated as weak، especially in the CPR management domain. Retraining the CPR skills are suggested، especially when the students are near graduation.
