- Abstract
- The purpose of the study was to identify factors influencing quality of chest compression depth in nursing students. A convenience sample of 102 female nursing students enrolled in a cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills training session. Each student performed 3min of chest compression skills on a Resusci Anne SkillReporter manikin for measurements of both depth and rate. Nursing students with correct compression depth (50-60mm) had higher body weight (t=-2.02, P=0.046) and body mass index (t=-2.19, P=0.031) compared with students in the incorrect depth group. Mean chest compression depth was shallower in underweight nursing students compared with normal weight or overweight students (F=8.89, P<0.001). Body weight was a significant factor influencing quality of chest compression depth (F=4.25, P=0.003). Educational intervention targeting underweight nursing students might need to enhance the quality of chest compression skills.
