Effect of Low-Dose, High-Frequency Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Training on Knowledge and Skill Levels in Pediatric Emergency Nurses: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of Low-Dose, High-Frequency Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Training on Knowledge and Skill Levels in Pediatric Emergency Nurses: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Life-threatening conditions such as respiratory failure, shock, and cardiac arrest require rapid recognition and timely intervention in pediatric emergency settings. Pediatric emergency nurses play a critical role in initiating and supporting cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). However, the low frequency of CPR events may limit skill practice and lead to a decline in knowledge and performance over time.
Low-dose, high-frequency (LDHF) training, which involves brief and repeated practice sessions, has been proposed as an effective approach to improve skill retention.
This study aims to evaluate the effect of LDHF CPR training on the knowledge and skill levels of pediatric emergency nurses and to compare its effectiveness with the massed training (MT) model.
Inclusion Criteria:
Nurses actively working in the pediatric emergency department of Ankara Etlik City Hospital Nurses who are scheduled to be on duty during the data collection period Nurses who agree to participate in the study Nurses who provide written informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
Nurses who have received structured low-dose, high-frequency CPR training within the last 6 months Nurses who are unable to attend training or assessment sessions due to planned leave, illness, or other unforeseen circumstances Nurses who do not participate in any stage of the training program or fail to complete the data collection process
