UNASSIGNED: The study was carried out at two intervals with two groups. A random sample involving undergraduate students, postgraduate students, and dental professionals was selected for both study groups. Group 1 with 440 participants had not attended BLS for Healthcare Providers Course in the last two years. Group 2 with 410 participants had attended the BLS for Healthcare Providers course regularly once a year. First, participants in Group 1 were evaluated using an MCQ test with 30 questions about their knowledge and skills in BLS. Then, a well-trained BLS instructor team from Dental College & Hospital offered BLS healthcare provider courses to students and dentists. Subsequently, Group 2 participants who had completed a BLS course for healthcare providers last year were also assessed for their knowledge and skills in BLS using another MCQ test.
UNASSIGNED: The marks obtained in the tests were tabulated and analyzed. To determine the association between variables with respect to mean knowledge score, t-test was employed. Multiple group comparison was made using analysis of variance and P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The group 1 participants score a mean of 5.7 marks against the Group 2 with a mean score of 27.4 marks out of 30 marks. Knowledge and skill in BLS skills among those in Group 1 without prior BLS training was mainly low. Dental practitioners performed marginally better than students in both groups.
UNASSIGNED: Based on the results, we make the following observations. With the introduction of BLS training into the academic curriculum and routine BLS hands-on workshops, all healthcare providers will be familiar with the BLS skills to effectively manage the life-threatening emergencies.
■该研究以两个间隔进行两组。涉及本科生的随机样本,研究生,和牙科专业人员被选中为两个研究组。在过去的两年中,有440名参与者的第1组没有参加BLS医疗保健提供者课程。第2组有410名参与者,每年定期参加一次BLS医疗保健提供者课程。首先,第1组参与者使用MCQ测试进行评估,该测试包含30个关于BLS知识和技能的问题.然后,来自牙科学院和医院的训练有素的BLS教练团队为学生和牙医提供BLS医疗保健提供者课程。随后,去年为医疗保健提供者完成BLS课程的第2组参与者还使用另一项MCQ测试评估了他们在BLS中的知识和技能。
将测试中获得的标记制成表格并进行分析。为了确定变量之间相对于平均知识得分的关联,采用t检验。使用方差分析进行多组比较,P<0.05被认为具有统计学意义。第1组参与者与第2组参与者相比平均得分为5.7分,30分中平均得分为27.4分。在未经BLS培训的第1组中,BLS技能的知识和技能主要较低。牙科从业者的表现都比两组学生略好。
■根据结果,我们提出以下意见。随着BLS培训引入学术课程和常规BLS实践研讨会,所有医疗保健提供者都将熟悉BLS技能,以有效管理危及生命的紧急情况。
