Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate a training program based on lectures and simulated practices related to teaching of operation and maintenance of the electrocardiograph for nursing professionals in a large hospital in Foz do Iguaçu-PR. Quasi-experimental research, carried out with 10 nursing assistants. These were divided into two groups, control and experimental, initially submitted to a pre-test to assess their degree of technical skill. Only the experimental group underwent an educational training. Then both groups were evaluated with a post-test. The experimental group showed significant difference (p = 0.0209) when the result obtained in the post-test (6.60 + 2.70 errors) was compared to their pre-test (27.80 + 10.99 errors), and also in comparison with the result of post-test of control group (p <0.001). In conclusion, the applied educational program was efficient to train the execution of electrocardiogram.
