Abstract
Objective: It was aimed to research changes in the quality of CPR directly following a BLS course and 2 years later by using the objective evaluation function targeting nurses working at hospital wards with little experience in CPR. Materials and Methods: Among 34 nurses who took the BLS course, 5 people who continued to cooperate in the research were examined as subjects, and their quality of CPR of right after the BLS course as well as 2 years later was assessed by using the objective evaluation function. Results: When compared between immediately after and 2 years after the BLS course, “CCF” increased from 63.4 ± 3.29 % to 68.2 ± 2.28% (p<0.05). The “average ventilation volume” increased from 408.6 ± 107.9 ml to 636.8 ± 198.2 ml (p<0.05). The “ventilation frequency” increased from 7.2 times to 9.8 times (p<0.05). Discussion: Even a nurse with little CPR experience was considered to have had an opportunity to reacquire the necessary knowledge and skills through the clinical ladders within the facility and the training related to CPR inside and outside the hospital, which positively affected the quality of CPR.
