Summary

Life-threatening conditions such as respiratory failure, shock, and cardiac arrest require rapid recognition and timely intervention in pediatric emergency settings. Pediatric emergency nurses play a critical role in initiating and supporting cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). However, the low frequency of CPR events may limit skill practice and lead to a decline in knowledge and performance over time. Low-dose, high-frequency (LDHF) training, which involves brief and repeated practice sessions, has been proposed as an effective approach to improve skill retention. This study aims to evaluate the effect of LDHF CPR training on the knowledge and skill levels of pediatric emergency nurses and to compare its effectiveness with the massed training (MT) model.

Conditions

• Low-Dose High-Frequency CPR Training

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Low-Dose High-Frequency CPR Training	This intervention consists of a low-dose, high-frequency CPR training approach, including 1 hour of theoretical and 30 minutes of practical training, followed by monthly brief (approximately 20-minute) reinforcement sessions over a three-month period to enhance knowledge retention and skill performance.
BEHAVIORAL	Massed CPR Training	This intervention consists of a massed CPR training approach, including 1 hour of theoretical and 90 minutes of practical training delivered in a single session, without additional reinforcement during the three-month follow-up period.
