The Results of the Knowledge Training Program on Basic ECG Interpretation for Novice Nurses in The Critical Care Division
Keywords:
Electrocardiogram, Critical Care Division, Novice Nurses, Basic ECG training programAbstract
This qusai-experimental study was one group pretest-posttest design. The study aimed to assess the results of the training program on basic electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation for novice nurses in the critical care Division. The content validity index of both questionnaires was 0.94 and the Cronbach’s alpha coefficients was .86.
The results were found that mean score of the knowledge, interpretation to ECG, total score of ECG and satisfaction between pretest and posttest were significantly increased after received education program (p<.05). The education training in their ability to get more knowledge and interpretation to ECG is necessary for all staff to be used in patient care both during normal and critical situations
