An interventional study of Emergency Nursing Training Program in Emergency Nursing Education, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Training and Triage Training, sponsored by Inje University. Completed at 1 site in Laos. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-13.
Sponsored by Inje University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Other
In low- and middle-income countries, particularly the Lao People's Democratic Republic, limited infrastructure and constrained educational access create competency gaps and limited training opportunities for emergency nurses. As existing evidence primarily involves high-resource settings, its applicability to low-resource settings is limited. Therefore, an Official Development Assistance-derived, culturally tailored emergency nursing training program was developed for the Lao People's Democratic Republic, and its effectiveness will be evaluated. This quasi-experimental study will used a single-group pre-test-post-test design, with data collected using practical performance assessments and self-administered surveys. The six-session program (three lectures and three activities) will be preceded by pre-learning videos and handouts to standardize baseline knowledge. Guided by Kirkpatrick's model, the outcomes include program satisfaction (Level 1: Reaction), cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and triage knowledge (Level 2: Learning), CPR core skills, triage skills, and emergency nurses' professional competency (Level 3: Behavior). Continuous data will be analyzed using the paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test, depending on normality.

Exclusion Criteria:
- Incomplete questionnaire responses or failure to complete both pre- and post-intervention assessments
Participants who completed the emergency nursing training program, including CPR and triage education.
Behavioral: Emergency Nursing Training Program
A comprehensive training workshop designed to improve emergency care competencies, consisting of CPR training and triage education tailored to the clinical context.
Change in CPR Knowledge Score Assessed by the Adapted NREMT CPR Knowledge Instrument
Evaluated using a 10-item instrument adapted from the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) CPR quiz tool to reflect local clinical practices, including pediatric resuscitation. Each correctly answered item is awarded 1 point. Total scores range from 0 to 10 points, where higher scores indicate greater cardiopulmonary resuscitation knowledge.
Time frame: Baseline (pre-intervention) and immediately post-intervention (Day 1)
Change in Triage Knowledge Score Assessed by the Structured Triage Knowledge Questionnaire
Assessed using a 13-item structured knowledge questionnaire covering triage definition (1 item), color-coded acuity systems (4 items), and priority classification based on patient presentation (8 items). Each correct response receives 1 point. Total scores range from 0 to 13 points, where higher scores represent higher triage knowledge.
Time frame: Baseline (pre-intervention) and immediately post-intervention (Day 1)
Change in CPR Core Skill Performance Score Assessed by the Adapted Cardiac Arrest Management Skill Checklist
Evaluated using a 13-item observational checklist adapted from the NREMT Cardiac Arrest Management Skill Sheet. The tool assesses patient assessment, emergency activation, chest compressions, ventilation accuracy, and minimization of interruptions. Total scores range from 0 to 13 points, where higher scores reflect superior CPR procedural performance.
Time frame: Baseline (pre-intervention) and immediately post-intervention (Day 1)
Change in Triage Skill Score Assessed by the Modified Triage Skills Questionnaire
Assessed using the 36-item modified Triage Skills Questionnaire (TSQ) based on Fathoni et al., comprising rapid assessment, patient categorization, and patient allocation domains. Items are scored on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree). Total scores range from 36 to 180, where higher scores indicate greater triage proficiency.
Time frame: Baseline (pre-intervention) and immediately post-intervention (Day 1)
Change in Emergency Nurses' Professional Competency Assessed by the Triage Nurses' Professional Capability Questionnaire
Assessed using the Triage Nurses' Professional Capability Questionnaire developed by Bijani et al., comprising clinical competence (20 items), psychological empowerment (6 items), and professional commitment (9 items). All 35 items are scored on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree). Total scores range from 35 to 175, with higher scores reflecting greater professional competency.
Time frame: Baseline (pre-intervention) and immediately post-intervention (Day 1)
