Relationship between Nurses' Knowledge about Emergencies and Code Blue Activation Decisions
Subject

Description
Introduction: Code Blue is a hospital system created to overcome the high
death rate due to respiratory arrest and cardiac arrest in hospitals. It
involves all hospital components, including medical personnel,
communication systems, transportation and facilities, and infrastructure.
The initial principle of handling cardiac arrest is how nurses can recognize
early signs of emergency so that the decision to activate code blue can be
made. Knowledge about emergencies is a basic component that nurses
must have in making code blue activation decisions. However, in its
application, care for cardiac arrest sufferers carried out by nurses is often
still inaccurate. This study aims to determine the relationship between
nurses' knowledge of emergencies and the decision to activate code blue.
Methods: This research is quantitative research with an analytical survey
method using cross-sectional research. In this study, the non-parametric
Spearman’s rank correlation test was carried out. Sampling used a total
sampling technique and obtained 70 respondents.
Results: There is a relationship between nurses' knowledge about
emergencies and the decision to activate code blue, with a significant value
of p= 0,000 (p < α 0.05), r = 0.601.
Conclusion: There is a relationship between nurses' knowledge about
emergencies and the decision to activate code blue. Training resuscitation
skills and increasing nurses' knowledge through regular training,
workshops, or code blue simulations are recommended, especially for
patient care units that rarely activate code blue.
