Abstract :
Aim : To analyze and evaluate the awareness, attitude and knowledge of nursing staff regarding the skills required for BLS.
Methods: A questionnaire based cross–sectional survey was conducted at a medical college and tertiary care centre among the nursing staff. The questionnaire consisted of 15 questions to assess the awareness of practical knowledge in BLS.
Results: The study revealed that the knowledge and awareness about BLS in the nursing staff was less than satisfactory.
Conclusion: This study underlines the fact that even though the nursing staff in our tertiary health care hospitals has awareness and knowledge about BLS, there is a need for conducting regular BLS training and refresher sessions for all nursing and paramedical personnel, as a step towards improving the quality of CPCR received by patients in sudden catastrophic events in hospital settings..
