| Project Title | Can a specific cardiopulmonary resuscitation training package improve the knowledge, confidence, and skills of student nurses who provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in response to a simulated cardiac arrest of a manikin? A Mixed Method Study |
| Project Description | A cardiac arrest is a significant event in someone’s life that needs immediate treatment (unless stated otherwise), that can happen to anyone at any time (British Heart Foundation, 2024). Nurses are recognised as one of the first healthcare professional to recognise that someone has suffered a cardiac arrest and commence treatment in an acute setting. Therefore, student nurses need to be prepared to do this, as part of their training. Thus, allowing and enabling them to care for their patients/service users and their families safely, and effectively in a timely manner (Nursing and Midwifery Council [NMC], 2018 a). In recent times, significant resources, education and support has been given to out of hospital cardiac arrest in comparison to in-hospital cardiac arrest (Anderson et al., 2022). To which this project intends to specifically look at in-hospital cardiac arrests. This project will undertake a primary, systematic, mixed-method, pragmatic approach using a convergent parallel design (CPD) to analyse the intended data, to answer the intended research question |
