Abstract
Graduating nurses should possess knowledge and understanding of cardiac arrhythmias interpretation so they can assess abnormal and life-threatening arrhythmias (Australian Nursing & Midwifery Accreditation Council, 2019). However, literature remains scarce around nursing students’ foundational knowledge in cardiac arrhythmia interpretation (Habibzadeh et al., 2019), who are in their final year of study leading to initial registration as registered nurses. This presentation will showcase the teaching strategies that have been changed as the result of COVID-19, and will ascertain the students’ understanding of their foundational knowledge and their self-assessed confidence when interpreting cardiac arrhythmias with the use of an online survey. Online self-directed learning methods were used, often referred to as a ‘flipped classroom’ approach (Lo & Hew, 2017), in which online modules were completed in the students’ own time and then later reinforced through clinical application in online tutorials. It explores the challenges and opportunities in developing high-level educational cardiac arrhythmia interpretation.
