Brief teaching may enhance nurse arrhythmia knowledge; leaves open translation to outcomes and needs randomized trials.
Does a Planned Teaching Programme improve knowledge regarding identification and management of cardiac arrhythmias among staff nurses?
Absolute Event Rate: 31.7% vs 21.9%
p-value: p=<0.001
A 45-minute Planned Teaching Programme significantly improved staff nurses' knowledge regarding the identification and management of cardiac arrhythmias.
Devaraj et al. (2022) studied Knowledge deficit regarding cardiac arrhythmias (n=40). Planned Teaching Programme (PTP) vs. Pretest (baseline) was evaluated on Knowledge score regarding identification and management of cardiac arrhythmias (maximum score 40) (p=<0.001). A 45-minute Planned Teaching Programme significantly improved staff nurses' mean knowledge score regarding the identification and management of cardiac arrhythmias from 21.9 to 31.7 (p<0.001).
