Abstract
A quasi experimental study was conducted to “Assess the Effectiveness of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Demonstration on Knowledge, Attitude and Practice among Relatives of Cardiac Patients in GKNM Hospital, Coimbatore”. OBJECTIVES: 1. To assess the level of knowledge, attitude and practice regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation among relatives of cardiac patients. 2. To assess the effectiveness of CPR demonstration among relatives of cardiac patients. 3. To determine the association between knowledge, attitude and practice score to selected demographic variables. Research design: Quasi pre experimental one group pretest posttest design. Setting: GKD auditorium of G. Kuppuswamy Naidu Memorial Hospital, Coimbatore. Samples: 30 subjects were selected who fulfilled the criteria. Conceptual framework: Ludwig Bertalanffy’s General System Theory was adopted. METHOD: Semi structured interview questionnaire was used to asses knowledge, attitude scale to assess attitude and checklist was used to assess practice during the pretest. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation demonstration was conducted followed by the post test. Outcomes were evaluated by descriptive and inferential statistics. RESULTS: The mean difference of knowledge was 9.73, with combined SD of 5.51 and ‘t’ value of 15.35. Paired ‘t’ test showed that there was a significant difference in pretest and posttest level of knowledge at 0.05 level. The calculated attitude ‘t’ value (5.56) was higher than table value. The calculated practice ‘t’ value (85.57) was higher than table value. The study concluded that there was a significant difference in pretest and posttest levels of knowledge, attitude and practice levels. CONCLUSION: Demonstration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation was effective in improving knowledge, attitude and practice of cardiopulmonary resuscitation among relatives of cardiac patients.
