The feasibility and utility of the aid to cardiac triage intervention to improve nursesʹ cardiac triage decisions

Background e the benefits of prompt treatment of myocardial infarction, gender disparities exist in emergency department (ED) nursesʹ cardiac triage decisions. ive ermine the feasibility and utility of the aid to cardiac triage (ACT) intervention designed to improve ED nursesʹ cardiac triage decisions for women with myocardial infarction. s pective, exploratory design was used. To determine feasibility, we evaluated the 1-hour time allocated for the intervention and ED nursesʹ participation rates. Twenty-three participants completed a utility questionnaire at the completion of the 1-hour intervention, and 18 participants completed the questionnaire 3 months post-intervention. s T intervention was delivered within 30 to 40 minutes, allowing 20 minutes for questions and discussion. ED nurses viewed the ACT intervention as a useful, helpful, and practical tool for improving their cardiac triage decisions at both intervention completion and 3 months later. sion aluation supports the feasibility and utility of the ACT intervention.
