Abstract
purpose : The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of basic life support performance by video simulation training. Methods : The subjects in this study consisted of 24 persons of experimental group and 24 persons of control group in freshmen and sophomore EMT students. The data were collected from September 1 to 30, 2010. Results : 1. Hypothesis one: experimental group is meaningful higher than control group at the operation point (p<0.05) of adult/infant's basic life support for one person. In subcategory that identifying breath, artificial respiration, pulse rate, 30 compressions, Ability to perform all the processes, the experimental group showed statistically higher score (p<0.05) than control group, and sequence from checking reaction to keeping airway management isn't statistically significant difference between experimental group and control. 2. Hypothesis two: In the hypothesis, the experimental group's point of adult basic life support by two persons and use of Automated External Defibrillator is good in experimental group than control group's point(p<0.05). As the result of researching 11 contents of check list about adult basic life support by two persons and Automated External Defibrillator(AED), by dividing into 7 subcategories, every subcategory shows that the experimental group is significant higher than control group(p<0.05). 3. Hypothesis three: In the hypothesis, the experimental group gets higher point of infant basic life support by one or two persons than the control group (p<0.05). As the results of researching 15 contents of check list about infant basic life support by one or two persons, by dividing into 8 subcategories, the experimental group is statistically meaningful higher (p<0.05) than the control group in process of keeping airway, indentifying breathing, identifying pulse, 30 compressions, Ability to perform all the processes. There isn't statistically significant difference between the groups in process of checking reaction, reporting 119, and artificial respiration by giving 2 breaths(p<0.05). Conclusion : As summarizing the results, the group, receiving using video, gets higher points of knowledge of basic life support and operating skill than the general educated group. It is found that the Video simulation training could be effective, because of these positive effects to improve clinical working performance of students, who participate in the department of Emergency Medical Technology.
