  • hospital employees Theoretical Knowledge on what to do in an in hospital cardiac arrest
    Resuscitation, 2010
    Co-Authors: Marielouise Sodersved Kallestedt, Andreas Rosenblad, Jerzy Leppert, Johan Herlitz, Mats Enlund
    Abstract:

    Background: Guidelines recommend that all health care professionals should be able to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), including the use of an automated external defibrillator. Theoretical Knowledge of CPR is then necessary. The aim of this study was to investigate how much Theoretical Knowledge in CPR would increase among all categories of health care professionals lacking training in CPR, in an intervention hospital, after a systematic standardised training. Their results were compared with the staff at a control hospital with an ongoing annual CPR training programme. Methods: Health care professionals at two hospitals, with a total of 3144 employees, answered a multiple-choice questionnaire before and after training in CPR. Bootstrapped chi-square tests and Fisher’s exact test were used for the statistical analyses. Results: In the intervention hospital, physicians had the highest Knowledge pre-test, but other health care professionals including nurses and assistant nurses reached a relatively high level post-test. Improvement was inversely related to the level of previous Knowledge and was thus most marked among other health care professionals and least marked among physicians. The staff at the control hospital had a significantly higher level of Knowledge pre-test than the intervention hospital, whereas the opposite was found post-test. Conclusions: Overall Theoretical Knowledge increased after systematic standardised training in CPR. The increase was more pronounced for those without previous training and for those staff categories with the least medical education.

  • gender dimension in predictors of students performance in mock ssce practical and theory chemistry examinations in some secondary schools in nigeria
    Education 3-13, 2012
    Co-Authors: Emmanuel Edoja Achor, Seraphina M S Kurumeh, Christopher A Orokpo
    Abstract:

    In this study the researchers used the results of students' alternative to practical Knowledge of Chemistry and their tests of Theoretical Knowledge of Chemistry to predict students' performance in Chemistry in MOCK-SSCE. This study adopted the expost facto design. All the SS two Chemistry students constitute the population for this study. Out of 33 schools only 15 schools met the requirement for selection as a science secondary school. Eight of these schools with a science student population of 128 (Male =64; female =64) were randomly selected and used for this study. The instruments used for this study were the students' alternative to test of practical Knowledge of Chemistry (SATPKC) and the students' tests of Theoretical Knowledge of Chemistry (STTKC). These instruments were developed by the researchers and administered to the SS 2 sci- ence students. The reliabilities of the instruments were established during the pilot study using test - retest method. The reliability was calculated using Kuder Richardson (K-R21) and was found to be .94 for SATPKC and .89 for STTKC. The data for answering research questions were analyzed using the mean scores. Using multiple regression analysis for the hy- potheses, the results show that male and as well female students' performance in a test of Theoretical Knowledge in Chemistry do not significantly predict their performance in MOCK-SSCE Chemistry theory examination. Male and female students' SATPKC score could not significantly predict their MOCK-SSCE mean practical scores. The overall relationship between SATPKC, MOCK-SSCE practical and MOCK-SSCE theory for male as well as female students were not significant. It was recommended that Principals of schools should ensure that both male and female science students are actively involved in practical work weekly as it will go a long way to enhance their performance during practical test and that efforts aimed at bridging the gaps between theory and practical performance of students in secondary school chemistry should not be gender discriminatory among others.

  • some nigeria students performance in practical and Theoretical chemistry tests as predictors of their performance in mock ssce chemistry examinations
    Social Science Research Network, 2011
    Co-Authors: Emmanuel Edoja Achor, Peter O Agogo, Christopher A Orokpo
    Abstract:

    This study adopted the expost facto design in which the results of some Nigeria students" practical Knowledge of Chemistry and their tests of Theoretical Knowledge of Chemistry were used to predict their performance in MOCK-SSCE Chemistry. The Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) is a terminal examination while the internal or State qualifying examination set after the pattern of SSCE is called MOCK-SSCE. Out of 33 schools in Ogbadibo LGA of Benue State Nigeria, only 15 schools met the requirements for selection as a science secondary school. Eight of these schools with a science student population of 128 were randomly selected and used as sample for this study. The instruments used for this study were the students" alternative to test of practical Knowledge of Chemistry (SATPKC) and the students" tests of Theoretical Knowledge of Chemistry (STTKC). These instruments developed by the researchers had reliabilities of 0.94 using Kuder Richardson (K-R21) for SATPKC and .89 for STTKC. Using multiple regression analysis the result shows that students" performance in a test of Theoretical Knowledge in Chemistry does not significantly predict their performance in MOCK-SSCE Chemistry theory examination. SATPKC could not significantly predict MOCK-SSCE mean practical scores. The over all relationship between SATPKC, MOCK-SSCE practical and MOCK-SSCE theory was not significant (F2, 127 =1.644, p> .05). STTKC could not significantly predict mean MOCK-SSCE practical examination scores. Similarly, the overall relationship between STTKC, MOCK-SSCE practical and MOCK-SSCE theory mean scores was not significant (F2, 127 = .177, p> .05). It was recommended that Principals of schools should ensure that science students carry out their lesson on practical weekly and at the same time relating it to theory as it will go a long way to enhance their performance during practical test. Similarly, school Principals and science teachers should ensure that Theoretical aspect of Chemistry should be handled with all seriousness since it is as important as the practical aspect also.
