Basic life support (BLS) knowledge is a necessity for nursing students, as they have to deal with cardiac arrest events during their professional career. Existing studies indicate poor BLS knowledge among health science students, including nursing students. Learning BLS requires an understanding of basic sciences, such as anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry, subjects perceived to be difficult, resulting in misconceptions. Hence, a multimedia-aided instruction on BLS, supplemented with cooperating learning groups, was developed to assist nursing students in gaining correct BLS knowledge. A pretest-posttest designed for single cooperating groups was employed to evaluate students' achievements. Sixty-five undergraduate nursing students took the pretest and posttest that consisted of 10 open-ended questions, each designed to evaluate an aspect of their BLS knowledge. The results show significantly more students (60 vs. 20%) answered more questions correctly on the posttest compared with the pretest ( value <0.05, Wilcoxon signed-rank test). Thus the multimedia-aided instruction package enhanced undergraduate nursing students' understanding of BLS and also assisted to generate a positive perception of multimedia-aided instructions, supplemented with a cooperating learning group.
基础生命支持 (BLS) 知识是护理学生的必备知识，因为他们在职业生涯中必须应对心搏骤停事件。现有研究表明，包括护理学生在内的健康科学专业学生的 BLS 知识水平较差。学习 BLS 需要理解解剖学、生理学和生物化学等基础科学，这些学科被认为是困难的，导致了误解。因此，开发了多媒体辅助的 BLS 教学，并辅以合作学习小组，以帮助护理学生获得正确的 BLS 知识。采用针对单个合作小组的前测后测设计来评估学生的成绩。65 名本科护理学生参加了前测和后测，前测和后测均由 10 个开放式问题组成，每个问题旨在评估他们 BLS 知识的一个方面。结果显示，与前测相比，后测中答对更多问题的学生（60%比 20%）明显更多（<0.05，Wilcoxon 符号秩检验）。因此，多媒体辅助教学包提高了本科护理学生对 BLS 的理解，同时也有助于对多媒体辅助教学产生积极的看法，辅之以合作学习小组。
