Early identification of ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) on electrocardiograms (ECGs) is vital to patient outcomes. Therefore, nurses need to have the knowledge to quickly recognize this lethal dysrhythmia.
The purpose of this pretest-posttest study was to increase nursing's knowledge on accurate and timely identification of an STEMI using an online educational intervention delivered via social media.
This study included a convenience sample of 31 RNs employed in an urban hospital in the Midwest. The mean score on the pretest was 7.53 of 10 (p = .028), which improved to 9.11 of 10 (t = 6.273; p = .000) on the posttest.
The use of social media to reach adult learners may be an effective means of delivering continuing education. Additional work is needed to further explore the use of educating bedside nurses on the importance of using the 12-lead ECG as a screening tool. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2019;50(10):475-480.].
心电图（ECG）上早期识别ST段抬高型心肌梗死（STEMI）对患者预后至关重要。因此，护士需要具备快速识别这种致命性心律失常的知识。
这项前后测研究的目的是通过社交媒体提供的在线教育干预，增加护理人员对准确及时识别STEMI的知识。
本研究纳入了中西部一家城市医院的31名注册护士作为便利样本。前测平均得分为10分中的7.53分（p = .028），后测提高到10分中的9.11分（t = 6.273；p = .000）。
利用社交媒体接触成年学习者可能是提供继续教育的有效手段。需要进一步开展工作，以进一步探索对床边护士进行教育，使其了解使用12导联心电图作为筛查工具的重要性。[《护理学继续教育杂志》。2019；50(10):475 - 480。]
