Background: During in-hospital cardiac arrest events, clinical nurses are often the first responders; therefore, nurses require sufficient advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) competency. This study aimed to verify the effects of a hybrid team-based ACLS simulation (HTAS) program (developed in this study) on nurses' ACLS performance, specifically ACLS knowledge, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) self-efficacy, and CPR-related stress. Methods: The developed HTAS comprised four lecture videos, one team-based skills training video, and a team-based ACLS simulation. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with a comparison group (CG) was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the HTAS. Of the 226 general ward nurses with more than 6 months of clinical experience, 117 were allocated to the intervention group (IG), which attended the HTAS, and 109 to the CG, which attended only basic ACLS training. Results: The IG's ACLS performance significantly improved (t = 50.8, p < 0.001) after the training. Relative to the respective pretest conditions, posttest ACLS knowledge (t = 6.92, p < 0.001) and CPR self-efficacy (t = 6.97, p < 0.001) of the IG also significantly increased. However, when the mean difference values were compared, there was no significant difference between the two groups with respect to ACLS knowledge (t = 1.52, p = 0.130), CPR self-efficacy (t = -0.42, p = 0.673), and CPR stress (t = -0.88, p = 0.378). Conclusion: The HTAS for ward nurses was effective at enhancing the nurses' ACLS performance. It is necessary to develop effective training methods for team-based ACLS and verify the sustained effects of such training. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
