    Registered nurses retained cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) knowledge but not psychomotor skills. Factors like instructor certification and recency of training impacted skill retention, questioning current CPR certification methods for nurses.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education
    • Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
    • Healthcare Training

    Background:

    • Effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is critical for patient outcomes.
    • Retention of CPR knowledge and psychomotor skills among registered nurses (RNs) is essential for emergency preparedness.
    • Current certification methods may not adequately ensure long-term skill proficiency.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the retention of cognitive knowledge and psychomotor skills related to CPR in hospital-based RNs.
    • To identify factors influencing the maintenance of CPR proficiency among nurses.
    • To evaluate the adequacy of existing CPR certification procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • A study involving 73 registered nurses (RNs) from three general hospitals.

  • Assessment of both cognitive knowledge and psychomotor skill retention for CPR.
  • Statistical analysis using product-moment correlation coefficients to examine relationships between variables and skill scores.

    • Main Results:

    • Cognitive knowledge of CPR was generally well-retained by the RNs.
    • Psychomotor skills in performing CPR showed significant deficits in retention.
    • Number of CPR courses, instructor certification status, years certified, and time since last certification were significantly correlated with skill scores.

    Conclusions:

    • While RNs retain CPR knowledge, psychomotor skill decay is a significant concern.
    • Factors such as instructor qualifications and recency of training are crucial for skill maintenance.
    • The findings suggest a need to re-evaluate current CPR certification and training protocols for hospital-based RNs to ensure sustained competency.
