The Effect of Haptic and Highly Fidelity Simulator in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Training

Overview

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is of great importance for nurses who frequently encounter cardiopulmonary arrest in health care institutions and who are within their duties, authorities and responsibilities. Therefore, nurses should have sufficient, up-to-date knowledge and skills about cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Nursing educators should try different training methods on CPR education and ensure that the student has sufficient knowledge and skills before graduation. This study, In order to examine the effects of haptic and highly fidelity simulator use in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation training in nursing students on their knowledge, skills, satisfaction and self-confidence levels, it was planned to be performed in a randomized controlled type.

This study aim to examine the effects of Haptic and Highly Fidelity Simulator use in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation training in nursing students on their knowledge, skills, satisfaction and self-confidence levels, it was planned to be performed in a randomized controlled type. The population of the research will be 4th grade students enrolled in the Faculty of Health Sciences, Faculty of Nursing . The sample of the study will consist of all 4th grade students who meet the sample selection criteria. Sampling Inclusion Criteria: Individuals over the age of 18, who agreed to participate in the study in written and verbal form, and participated in all phases of the study will be included. In the randomization part of the study, the students will assigned to the experiment (n=30) and control (n=30) groups according to their number in the class list using the random numbers table. Data will collect with "Sociodemographic Data Form", "Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Knowledge Test", "Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Skills Checklist" and "Student Satisfaction and Confidence in Learning Scale". Written permission will be obtained from the individuals who volunteered to participate in the study, and "Sociodemographic Data Form" and "Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Knowledge Test" will be applied to all students. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation training will be given theoretically to all students in the classroom environment by an expert academician who has an associate professor in the field of Surgical Nursing. This training will take 1 hour. The names of all students will be written in alphabetical order, and students will be divided into "Haptic" or "Highly Fidelity Simulator" groups using the random numbers table. Intervention in Haptic Group: Students will perform Cardiopulmonary resuscitation using 3D Systems Touch Haptic Simulator. During the intervention, there will be 2 researchers and the student who made the application in the room. While one of the researchers will be with the student only for support during the practice, the other researcher will fill the "Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Skills Checklist" by evaluating the cardiopulmonary resuscitation skill of the student. Intervention in the High Fidelity Simulator Group: Students will perform Cardiopulmonary resuscitation using High Fidelity CPR Simulator. During the intervention, there will be 2 researchers and the student who made the application in the room. While one of the researchers will be with the student only for support during the practice, the other researcher will fill the "Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Skills Checklist" by evaluating the cardiopulmonary resuscitation skill of the student. The application of the student will take a total of 10 minutes.
