Abstract

Introduction: Early initiation of Basic life support (BLS) with Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an important contributory factor in the survival of Cardiac arrest. Effective and timely CPR reduces the likelihood of death following sudden cardiac arrest. Adequate knowledge and skills regarding BLS and appropriate application of the same is an essential requisite for nursing students.

Aim: To assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding Basic life support among first year undergraduate Nursing students.

Materials and Methods: Quantitative pre experimental research design was adopted for this present study. First year 59 undergraduate Nursing students were chosen by Purposive sampling technique. The data were collected by using demographic proforma and self structured knowledge questionnaire.

Results: Pre-test and post- test knowledge scores revealed that during pre-test, the mean score 8.6±3.07 (SD) which is 43% of the total mean score, whereas in post-test, the mean score was 15.13 ± 2.26(SD) which is 75.65% of the total mean score depicting difference of 32.65% increase in mean percentage of score. The calculated‘t’ value 24.89 which is higher than the P<0.05, stated that highly significant difference between the pre-test and post-test. It proved that the structured teaching programme was highly effective to improve the student’s knowledge.
