Abstract :

<p>&lt;p&gt;Background: It is a well-known fact that sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in the world. During such situations nurses are expected to be efficient and effective in the life saving measures. Objective: This quasi-experimental study was aimed to evaluate the effect of high fidelity simulation on the students learning of Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation. Methods: The knowledge instrument composed of 20 items (multiple choices) and the skills were observed by the 10 items (checklist) using 4-point likert scale. An experimental group attended lecture and practice training with Sim man 3G mannequin whereas the control group attended lecture and the practice training with the standard mannequin. Results: Independent t test showed a statistically significant difference in psychomotor retention in control group (t = 2.31. sig .030 (2 tailed), p&amp;gt; 0.05) between the immediate (M = 2.96, SD = .43) and delayed (M = 2.65, SD = .20) in teaching CPR. The result also gives significance difference between the experimental and control both for the immediate and delayed psychomotor test (t=6.96, sig..000, p&Euml;&sbquo;0.05, 13.19 , t=13.9, sig. .000, p&Euml;&sbquo;0.05 respectively) when examined the effect of the psychomotor between the experimental and control group in teaching CPR. Conclusion: The students who were trained with high fidelity mannequin performed better than the standard mannequin. This study emphasize on the incorporation of high fidelity simulation in the nursing program to enhance the knowledge and psychomotor skills of the students.&lt;/p&gt;</p>
