               • continuous compressions with positive-pressure
                 • 1 breath every 6 seconds (10 breaths per minute)

3. Development and psychometric assessment of the Basic Resuscitation Skills Self-Efficacy Scale

   • Immediate nursing care
     • They are:
       • responders to an in-hospital cardiac arrest
   • implementation of :
     • educational strategies that improve self-efficacy for nurses
       • testing the BRS-SES
       • CPR training
         • 98 (25.1)
