Abstract

A quasi-experimental study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured teaching program (STP) on the knowledge and skills related to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) among students in selected colleges of Jodhpur. The objectives were to assess and compare the knowledge and skills of students in the control and experimental groups, determine the correlation between knowledge and skill levels, and identify associations with selected demographic variables. The study was guided by the Systems Theory framework, encompassing input, process, output, and feedback components. An evaluative approach and quasi-experimental design were adopted. A total of 60 students (30 in the control group and 30 in the experimental group) were selected using non-probability purposive sampling from RGM College of Nursing, Jodhpur. Data was collected using a structured knowledge questionnaire and a CPR skill checklist. In the control group pretest, 53.33% had moderate knowledge, while 26.67% and 20% had inadequate and adequate knowledge, respectively. Posttest results showed minimal improvement. In contrast, in the experimental group, 43.33% had inadequate and 6.67% adequate knowledge before the intervention, which improved markedly post-STP, with 66.67% demonstrating adequate knowledge. Skill performance also improved, with 60% of the experimental group showing good skills after the STP. A positive correlation was found between knowledge and skill scores. The findings indicate that STP was effective in improving both knowledge and skill levels regarding CPR. The study recommends extending such interventions to larger and more diverse student populations
