ABSTRACT Inadequate CPR management affects the sick children outcome. Hence nurses must be equipped with adequate knowledge and a positive attitude towards assessment and management of pediatric emergencies based on American Heart Association (AHA} training module 2020. Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of PALS Simulation training among nurses in Tertiary care hospital. Design: Quasi experimental where One group pre-test post-test design. Setting: The pilot study was conducted at Institute of Child health and Research Institute, Egmore, Chennai. Nurses working in ICH fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected by Simple Random sampling technique. The inclusion criteria included Nurses who are not attended previous PALS training were selected. A structured knowledge questionnaire and standardized practice checklist (AHA 2020) were used for the data collection in the study. Post-test was assessed based on OSCE check list over time interval of 30 days. The following OSCE stations were used in Post-test to assess the Knowledge retention for Nurses. Station I: CPR- Cardio pulmonary resuscitation and Defibrillation Station II: Intravenous / Intra osseous (IO) access Station III: Emergency Drugs – Crash Cart Station IV: Management of Pediatric Emergencies - Shock, Foreign body, Head trauma, Drowning, SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). Station V: Equipments requirement in Emergency unit. Results: Frequency and percentage distribution of pre and post test scores on PALS among nurses depicts that, in pre-test most (54%) of them were poor knowledge only 13% of nurse were good knowledge, whereas in post-test most (67%) of them were very good knowledge and 33% of them were good knowledge. It seems that PALS training programme was effective among nurses. Conclusions: Findings indicate that PALS simulation training over the time of knowledge retention for nurses was effective. The pre and post test scores on PALS among nurses depicts that, in pre-test mean score 3.8 (28%) & SD is 1.8 and the Post- test mean score 38.6 (77%) & SD is 0.7. The mean difference score is 49. Comparison of mean, standard deviation and mean percentage of pre and post knowledge scores of PALS among nurses. The pre and post test scores on PALS among nurses depicts that, in pre-test mean score 16.4 (43.21%) & SD is 1.16 and the Post-test mean score 43.21 (86%) & SD is 2.08. The mean difference score is 53.Paired ‘t’ test value of pre-test and post-test knowledge scores of PALS among nurses 2.84 .It seems the’ P’ value of pre-test and post- test knowledge score is <0.05 is significant. The association between the demographic variables for post-test practice scores of PALS among nurses also not significant.
