Personnel Potential Development of Sub-district Health Promoting Hospitals for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation by Using a Mobile Teaching Model: a Case Study in Na Dun District, Maha Sarakham

Abstract

The purpose of this action research was to study the potential development of personnel in sub-district health promoting hospitals for cardiopulmonary resuscitation by using a mobile teaching model; and to assess their knowledge, skills and attitudes on the cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The sample group in this study was 84 personnel of sub-district health promoting hospitals, Na Dun District, Maha Sarakham Province, using a purposive sampling method. Study period was from January - June 2021. Study tools used were the resuscitation knowledge test, a resuscitation operation skills assessment questionnaire, a problem assessment questionnaire, a satisfaction assessment questionnaire, and a cardiopulmonary resuscitation attitude assessment questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and using paired-sample t-test for comparing knowledge before after training. The results showed that the problem and situation are the personnel lacked resuscitation skills. Some personnel had never been trained on cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Development of resuscitation potential of the personnel of sub-district health promotion hospital was performed using mobile teaching, consisting of (1) create a training model for personnel, and (2) training workshops on the use of cardiopulmonary resuscitation for all of personnel. A manual was developed on cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automatic defibrillator for the general public and for the use in teaching create a LINE group (Refer cup Nadun). It was found that 100 percent of the sub-district health promoting hospital personnel attended the training. The resuscitation knowledge of the samples before the training had an average score of 5.79 and after the training had an average score of 8.42 out of 10 (p<0.01). Assessment of cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills without an AED and with an AED was found to be completed, 97.62% and 84.52 % of the personnel, respectively. The sample group were most satisfied with the form of mobile training (100%); and with the preparation/distribution of knowledge of the speakers (97.61%). There was a positive attitude toward resuscitation, with the consideration that all citizens should know and be able to do cardiopulmonary resuscitation. From this research, a network of community resuscitation care patients was formed, and a guideline resuscitation practice was developed. Therefore, this training model should be annually utilized, and expanded in order to disseminate such knowledge and skills to a wider range.
