Aims:
The aim of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of an intervention for the training of nursing students in rescue work of a traumatized patient using the Snaid® device.
Methods:
A quasi-experimental one group pretest-posttest study was carried out. A total of 107 nursing students participated. Data on self-efficacy, knowledge, ergonomics and skill were collected. The data were analyzed with SPSS version 29 statistical software.
Results:
Statistically significant differences were found between mean self-efficacy score and time of measurement (U = 2090.500; Z = -8.377; p < 0.001). Statistically significant differences were also found between the time of measurement and the knowledge score (U = 373.000; Z = -11.966; p < 0.001). Considering the results on ergonomics, it was found that the mean score given after the intervention was 9.37 (SD = 1.02). Regarding intervention time, the mean time was 47.76 s (SD = 4.74). Finally, considering skill, the mean score was 8.78 (SD = 1.23).
Conclusion:
The results of the present study indicate that participants obtained a high level of self-efficacy, knowledge, skill and ergonomics after training in the rescue work of a patient through the Snaid® device. This device may contribute to improve trauma patient care.
