Background of the Study: Cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death worldwide, and early resuscitation is critical to increasing survival rates. In emergency care settings, nurses often play a key role in resuscitation efforts, providing life-saving interventions such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation. Studies have shown that proper training and adherence to resuscitation protocols can significantly improve the chances of survival for patients experiencing cardiac arrest (Nwaorgu et al., 2024). In Bauchi State, hospitals face high patient volumes, and while resuscitation protocols are in place, the effectiveness of these protocols largely depends on the knowledge and skills of the healthcare professionals involved.
Nurse-led resuscitation training, which empowers nurses to take the lead in providing resuscitative care, has been shown to enhance patient outcomes in cardiac arrest situations. This study aims to evaluate the impact of nurse-led resuscitation training on the survival rates of cardiac arrest patients in Bauchi State hospitals, examining whether such training improves resuscitation performance and contributes to better patient outcomes.
Statement of the Problem: Cardiac arrest continues to be a major cause of death in Bauchi State, with survival rates being lower than desired. While resuscitation protocols exist, there is limited data on the effectiveness of nurse-led resuscitation training in improving patient outcomes. Given the critical role of nurses in resuscitation efforts, this study will assess the impact of nurse-led resuscitation training on survival rates and the overall effectiveness of cardiac arrest management in Bauchi State hospitals.
Objectives of the Study:
- To evaluate the impact of nurse-led resuscitation training on survival rates of cardiac arrest patients in Bauchi State hospitals.
- To assess the effectiveness of nurse-led resuscitation training in improving the quality of resuscitation efforts.
- To identify factors that enhance or hinder the effectiveness of nurse-led resuscitation training in Bauchi State hospitals.
Research Questions:
- Does nurse-led resuscitation training improve survival rates of cardiac arrest patients in Bauchi State hospitals?
- How effective is nurse-led resuscitation training in enhancing the quality of resuscitation efforts in Bauchi State hospitals?
- What factors affect the success of nurse-led resuscitation training in Bauchi State hospitals?
Research Hypotheses:
- Nurse-led resuscitation training significantly improves survival rates of cardiac arrest patients in Bauchi State hospitals.
- Nurses with resuscitation training perform resuscitation efforts more effectively than those without training.
- Institutional support, training frequency, and skill retention significantly influence the effectiveness of nurse-led resuscitation training.
Scope and Limitations of the Study: This study will focus on cardiac arrest cases in Bauchi State hospitals, evaluating the role of nurse-led resuscitation training. Limitations may include variations in training programs across hospitals and the potential for confounding variables such as patient comorbidities.
Definitions of Terms:
- Resuscitation training: Training programs designed to teach healthcare professionals life-saving techniques such as CPR and defibrillation.
- Cardiac arrest: A medical emergency where the heart stops beating, requiring immediate intervention to restore circulation.
- Survival rate: The percentage of patients who survive after experiencing a cardiac arrest.
