Abstract
Context: Basic life support is a medical care that is offered to victims of life-threatening illnesses or injuries until they can be given full medical care at a hospital. Considering that life-threatening illnesses or injuries may occur at places where there are no medical practitioners or health service providers, it is imperative that laypeople are equipped with all the necessary knowledge and skills to provide Basic Life Support.
Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of planned teaching program regarding Basic life support on knowledge and practices of non-medical teaching staff of selected universities of North India. The objective was to assess and compare knowledge, practices, relationship between knowledge and practices and to find out the association of knowledge and practices regarding Basic life support among the non-medical staff with their sample characteristics in experiment and comparison group.
Methodology: A Quasi-Experimental non-equivalent control group pretest- posttest design. One hundred (50 each in experimental and comparison group) were recruited as study participants by convenient sampling technique. The study was conducted at M.M College of Engineering, M.M College of Management, M.M College of Hotel Management, M.M College of Law, Mullana, Ambala, Haryana. and Baddi University and Manav Bharti University Solan, Himanchal Pradesh. Basic Life Support was administered in experimental group for 15 days. The tool used for the study consisted of selected variables regarding sample characteristics, structured knowledge questionnaire to assess the knowledge and structured observational checklist to assess the practices regarding Basic Life Support were used to collect the data.
Results: The difference in the mean scores between the experimental and comparison group was computed by using independent ‘t’ test. The calculated ‘t’ value of knowledge was found to be 2.92 t (100) =1.67; p=0.00) which was statistically significant at 0.05 level of significance. The pre-test and post-test practices scores regarding Basic Life Support among non-medical teaching staff in experimental group computed by using Wilcoxon Signed Rank test. The result showed that the mean practices score after the administration of Planned teaching program was found to be statistically significant at 0.05 level of significance (p=0.000).
Conclusion: Findings of this study concluded that (BLS) was effective in enhancing the knowledge and Practices of non-medical teaching staff regarding Basic Life Support.
