Abstract
Abstract Aim.The purpose of this study was to evaluate nursing students’ skills in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in their critical care master course. Background.CPR is a common procedure in intensive care settings and the nurses have an important role in this regard. To consider the aim of training critical care nursing students, and increasing quality of care in intensive care settings, the evaluation of students’ skills in CPR is essential to determine defects and plan for improvement. Method. In this descriptive study, nursing students’ performance was evaluated at the end of educational period of their critical care course using objective structured clinical examination (OSCE). The OSCE included five core skills in CPR: airway management, arterial blood gas (ABG) interpretation, basic life support, electrocardiography (ECG) interpretation and assessment of the level of consciousness. Findings. The study population consisted of 17 nursing students in the 4th semester of their critical care master course. The results showed the majority of students (64.7%) had moderate performance to do CPR skills. The best performance was related to assessment of the level of consciousness (52.9%). Basic life support (41.2%), airway management (35.3%) and ECG interpretation (11.8%) ranked as the next best skills, respectively. The worse performance was related to ABG interpretation with 0% pass score. Conclusion. According to the findings, the performance of the nursing students in CPR is moderate, globally and cognitive skills are lower than psychomotor skills. Problem-based educational strategies and encouragement of active thinking are suggested for improving cognitive skills and more practice to improve all competencies up to desirable level.

Abstract
Abstract Aim. This study was aimed to evaluate the changes in the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills of nursing students during a two year interval. Background. CPR skills are of vital skills every healthcare worker should posses. Several studies are available on CPR skills of nursing students, however, changes in the students' skills have rarely been studied. Method. This time series study was conducted on all graduating nursing students who were passing their internship period during 2011-2012. Data collection instrument had two parts including demographics form and a checklist for assessment of CPR skills (including closed chest compression, tracheal intubation, using of defibrillator and CPR management). Descriptive statistics were used for reporting the findings. Findings. Seeking no help was the most frequent mistake made by the students in the domain of cardiac massage and artificial ventilation, both in the first and the third assessment. Only 41.67% and 32.61% of the students sought help in the first and the third assessment, respectively. Pressing the laryngoscope blade on the teeth was also the most common mistake in the domain of using the laryngoscope so that only 50% of the students performed this action correctly in all the three assessments. The most common error in the domain of defibrillation was ignoring repetition of the defibrillation in cases the patient’s cardiac rhythm did not returned to normal, so that only 52.08%, 28% and 21.74% of the students performed defibrillation correctly in all the three assessments, respectively. Conclusion: Most of the students were evaluated as weak, especially in the CPR management domain. Retraining the CPR skills are suggested, especially when the students are near graduation.

Abstract
Abstract Aim. This study aimed to examine the effect of education by video self-assessment on nurses’ knowledge and performance about cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Background.Cardiopulmonary arrest is one of the main medical emergencies and one of the major causes of death around the world. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is the critical components of basic life support in response tocardiopulmonary arrest. The success ofcardiopulmonary resuscitationrequiresproficiencyandperformance of resuscitation group. Method. This was a clinical trial study conducted on 80 nurses that were randomly divided into experimental and control group. Participants in control group received traditional training and experimental group experienced video self-assessment after traditional training. Knowledge on CPR was evaluated with a valid questionnaire including multiple choice questions. Psycho-motor skills were measured through a visual checklist observing CPR performance of the participants on a manikin. Outcome variables were measured three times (before, immediately after, and two months after training). Data were analyzed by the SPSS through repeated measures analysis. Findings. Comparing the mean score of knowledge between the groups at before, immediately after, and 2 months after training did not show any statistical significant difference. Immediately, and two months after intervention, the mean score of performance of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of control group. Conclusion.Education by Video self-assessment is an effective method to improve nurses’ performance in CPR.

Abstract
Abstract Aim.The aim of this literature review was to study medical staff knowledge about cardiopulmonary resuscitation for pregnant women. Background.Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in pregnancy is a rare event. Although rare, CPR during pregnancy is very important, because saves the life of the mother and fetus. Knowledge of medical staff and their formal training on CPR in pregnancy are such factors affecting the maternal and fetal outcomes. Knowing the state of medical staff knowledge in this area will help recognize the existing gaps and plan for improvement. Method.In this narrative review, databases such as Medline, Science direct, Ovid, Scopus, SID, Magiran and Barakat Knowledge Network System was used to data collection. Articles published between 2000-2016, were searched out by the keywords "cardiopulmonary resuscitation","pregnancy", "knowledge","medical Staff", both inPersian and English. Inclusion criteria was content similarity to subject under study. Findings. Out of 20 retrieved papers, 4 cross- sectional analytical articles published between 2008-2012 was selected and reviewed for describing the state of medical staff knowledge on CPR in pregnancy. The knowledge of medical staff was in poor level in different areas such as proper pregnant patient positioning during CPR, sequence of bag- mask ventilation and intubation, defibrillation (application during pregnancy, paddle placement location, energy and considerations), the use of drugs and therapeutic doses and cesarean section in within 4-5 minutes following CPR failure. Conclusion.The knowledge of medical staff about CPR in pregnancy is poor. Establishing continuous educational course to improve their knowledge is recommended.

Abstract
Abstarct Aim.The aim of this study was to determine nurses’ knowledge, attitude, and performance in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) based on PRECEDE model. Background. Despite development of CPR team in Iran’s hospitals, performance in the field of CPR is not satisfactory. Method. In this cross-sectional descriptive analytical study, all staff nurses (n= 97) working at ateaching hospital (9 Day) in Torbat-e-Heiydariyeh, Iran, were studied.The data collection tools included a reliable and valid researcher-made questionnaire to collect demographic data and a questionnaire which developed based on PRECEDE model.Data were analyzed in SPSS version 20 using ANOVA, linear regression and Pearson correlation coefficient. Findings. The mean age of the nurses was 29.45±7.45 years.The average score for PRECEDE model constructs were 79.17±18.68 (knowledge), 95.48±6.64 (attitude), 62.6±19.52 (enabling factors), 67.61±20.12 (reinforcing factors), and 72.37± 9.71 (performance).Also enabling factors were the most important predictor of nurses’ performance (B=0.773, p<0/0001).A statistically significant relationship was observed of nurses’ performance with gender (p=0.007) and experience of CPR (p=0.027). There was a positive significant correlation of enabling factors with reinforcing factors (p=0.007, r=0.274) and behavior (p=0.000, r=0.773). Conclusions. Constructs of knowledge, attitude, and performance were in desirable level and constructs of reinforcing and enabling factors were in moderate level. It is recommended to implement interventions and programs while considering enabling and reinforcing factors for promoting the performance of nurses in CPR.

Abstract
Aim. The purpose of this study is to review studies that have investigated the effect of CardioPulmonary Cerebral Resuscitation (CPCR) training on nurses' knowledge and performance.
Background. CPCR is a systematic procedure and a set of targeted measures have been used by nurses to restore the vital functions of the body's central organs, such as the heart, lungs, and brain. The application of teaching is a suggested method for improving the knowledge and skills of nurses PCPR in most published articles.
Method. In this r eview study, a comprehensive search of scientific databases and sear ch engines such as Science Direct, PubMed, Cochrane, Medline, SID, Scopus, CINAHL, OVID, Iran Doc and Magiran using the keywords cardiopulmonary resuscitation, nurses, practice, knowledge in both Persian and English languages was done to find articles published between 2010 and 2022.
Results: CPCR training in both face-to-face and virtual form can be effective on the knowledge and performance of nurses, and in all studies there was a significant relationship between the scores before and after the training. The implementation of these trainings should be repeated for nurses permanently and every six months.
Conclusion: Basic training can lead to increasing the knowledge of nurses in the field of basic and advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Based on this, regular theoretical and practical workshops and training courses are recommended.
