摘要
One hundred nurses underwent a short form of cardiopulmonary resuscitation training, comprising a short lecture and practical training. This significantly improved theoretical knowledge, but failed to achieve a uniformly high standard of practical skill. After initial training the subjects were divided into three groups. Group 1 underwent monthly refresher sessions, Group 2 a single refresher at 3 months and Group 3 no refresher training prior to re-testing of all subjects at 6 months. Knowledge and skills had declined in all three groups. Theoretical scores were better preserved in the groups having refresher training. Frequent refresher training failed to improve the poor initial performance in the practical skills. The time required to produce adequate training is greater than that which can be provided by clinical staff and necessitates the appointment of a resuscitation training officer.
