Abstract ABSTRACT
Introduction: Defibrillation is an established intervention for life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias such as ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia. It delivers an electrical shock to the heart to restore normal rhythm. Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are designed to analyse cardiac rhythms and guide users, enabling even minimally trained individuals to provide timely intervention during emergencies.
Objectives: The study aimed to assess the baseline knowledge of critical care nurses regarding AED use, evaluate their knowledge following a structured teaching programme, determine the effectiveness of the teaching intervention, and examine the association between pre-test knowledge levels and selected demographic variables.
Materials and Methods: An experimental, single-group pre-test and post-test design was adopted. A total of 130 critical care nurses were selected from selected hospitals using a non-probability purposive sampling technique and assigned to a single experimental group. Knowledge was assessed using a structured questionnaire. A planned teaching programme on AED use was implemented, and post-test data were collected. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including means, standard deviations, and the chi-square test.
Results: Pre-test findings indicated that most participants had inadequate knowledge regarding AED use. Following the teaching programme, there was a marked improvement in knowledge levels among the nurses. A statistically significant association was observed between knowledge scores and selected demographic variables.
Conclusion: The structured teaching programme was effective in enhancing the knowledge of critical care nurses regarding AED use. The findings highlight the importance of educational interventions in improving emergency preparedness among nursing professionals.
Keywords Keywords: Automated external defibrillator, planned teaching programme, critical care nurses.
