Effectiveness of Basic Life Support Training on Level of Knowledge and Competency among Undergraduate Nursing Students
Get PDFA significant number of cardiac arrests can be anticipated and prevented through careful observation, prevention, and timely intervention for pre-arrest conditions. As the nursing profession is intrinsically linked to clinical judgment, it is crucial for nursing students to not only provide the required support to their patients during critical moments but also adopt an efficient and effective approach in their clinical practice. The acquisition of BLS training will facilitate the ability of undergraduate nursing students to promptly identify various life-threatening emergencies and initiate appropriate measures to save the victim\u27s life. A pre-experimental pretest-posttest design was adopted for this study to evaluate the effectiveness of competency-based training on basic life support on undergraduate nursing students\u27 knowledge and competency. The study population comprised 213 undergraduate nursing students from various colleges of nursing in Tamil Nadu. The research instruments used in this study encompassed a self-structured questionnaire to collect demographic data from undergraduate nursing students, a knowledge questionnaire, and an Adult one-rescuer competency checklist to evaluate their competency. The obtained mean difference knowledge score of 8.52 exhibited a statistically significant difference at a very high level, as indicated by a P 0.001. The assessment of competency among undergraduate nursing students on the BLS demonstrated that almost all the nursing students achieved a high level of competency (93.9%) in performing Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. A positive correlation was observed between knowledge and competency, with a Pearson correlation coefficient (r) of 0.295. This correlation was determined to be statistically significant at P<0.001 level. The observed positive correlation suggested that there is a direct relationship between the increase in knowledge and the improvement in competency levels of students in basic life support. The results of this study concluded that the implementation of a competency-based training program in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation proved beneficial for undergraduate nursing students by enhancing their cognitive and psychomotor abilities

Handling Ostracism with Social Media-A Meta-analysis
Get PDFOstracism is a prevalent social phenomenon that can have negative consequences on an individual\u27s well-being. Social media has become an increasingly popular platform for individuals to cope with ostracism by seeking social support, engaging in self-expression, and practising self-care. However, the effectiveness of using social media for handling ostracism remains unclear. This meta-analysis synthesizes the findings of 20 studies that investigated the role of social media in coping with ostracism. The studies included in the meta-analysis examined the effects of social media use on various outcomes, including emotional distress, social connectedness, and self-esteem. The results of the meta-analysis revealed that social media use was associated with significant improvements in emotional distress, social connectedness, and self-esteem among individuals who experienced ostracism. The effect sizes of social media use were moderate to large, indicating that social media can effectively handle ostracism. However, the results also suggest that the effectiveness of social media use may depend on the type of social media platform used, the frequency and intensity of social media use, and the individual\u27s personality and coping strategies. Overall, this meta-analysis provides evidence for the effectiveness of social media in handling ostracism and highlights the need for further research to identify the most effective ways of using social media to cope with ostracism.
