Evaluation Of Basic And Advanced Life Support Knowledge Of Health Workers

Objective: Our aim was to assess the knowledge and skill levels of health workers in our hospital in relation to basic and advanced life support and to see if there was a difference before and after the training. Materials and Methods: The training was administered in the light of the updates in the Universal Basic and Advanced Life Support guidelines, and according to the AHA guidelines, with one day of theory and one day of practice. After the training, evaluation was done with the post-test. The demographic information of the participants, the distribution of tasks and the changes between the pre-test and the post-test according to their professional status were statistically evaluated. Results: We look at the training in both basic life support and advanced life support the level of knowledge of the participants increased. Conclusion: When we evaluate the changes in the knowledge levels of the participants after the course, we can say that the level of knowledge and awareness was limited before the training.
