To explore the better strategy of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and electric defibrillation skills training and assessment on nurses in order to improve the first-aid level of nurs-ing staff.

1 258 nurses of a hospital were trained and assessed in batches. Core group and instruc-tor team were established, multimedia lecture, situation simulation training and network self-learning were available. Paperless examinations were conducted.

of the examinations were analyzed by SPSS19.0, and the comparison between the two groups of independent samples were analyzed by Mann-Whitney U test. Results All the 1 258 nurses were qualified, for the median score was 88.0 and the quartile spacing was 7.5. The step-scores of step1-3, 13, 14, 22, 23 were high, while the step-scores of step5, 7-17, 16-21, 24, 25 were low. Compared with nurses without professional-titles, nurses with professional-titles got better results in total score, step 8-12 and step17-21, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) .

It is necessary to pay attention to the training and assessment of CPR and electric defibrilla-tion skills on nurses. Advanced and effective training methods need to be used to carry on regular training and assess-ment. For the weak links and low-grade nursing staff, intensive training needs to be conducted to improve the entire skill level of nurses.
