Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing
|October 24, 2019
Summary
Stop the Bleed training significantly improved school nurses' knowledge and hands-on skills for managing life-threatening bleeding emergencies. The training enhanced confidence and preparedness in educational settings.
Area of Science:
- Emergency Medicine
- Nursing Education
- Public Health
Background:
- School nurses are crucial for prehospital care in educational settings.
- Life-threatening bleeding events require immediate and effective intervention.
- Assessing preparedness for such emergencies is vital for school safety.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of Stop the Bleed training for school nurses.
- To assess improvements in knowledge, skills, confidence, and preparedness.
- To enhance response capabilities for life-threatening bleeding incidents in schools.
Main Methods:
- A 1-hour Stop the Bleed seminar was delivered to 16 school nurses.
- Written pre- and post-assessments measured knowledge, confidence, and preparedness.
- Hands-on assessments evaluated tourniquet application and wound-packing skills.
Main Results:
- Significant improvements were observed in bleeding control knowledge post-training.
- Participants reported higher self-confidence and belief in school preparedness.
- Tourniquet application and wound-packing skills significantly increased after the training.
Conclusions:
- Stop the Bleed training is effective in enhancing school nurses' capabilities.
- The training improves essential knowledge and practical skills for bleeding emergencies.
- School nurses are better prepared to manage life-threatening bleeding after this intervention.

Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...

12.9K
Hemostasis is a complex physiological process that prevents excessive bleeding when a blood vessel is injured. It's crucial for maintaining the integrity of the circulatory system, as it ensures that our blood remains fluid while still within the vascular network and yet clots to prevent blood loss upon vessel injury.
The three phases of hemostasis involve many clotting factors present in plasma and several substances released by platelets and injured tissue cells. It is a fast, localized,...
