The Effect of Different Simulation Methods Used in Adult Basic Life Support Training
- Conditions
- First Aid
- Registration Number
- NCT06169839
- Lead Sponsor
- Ankara University
- Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of different simulation methods Virtual Reality-Aided Simulation (VRS), High-Fidelity Simulation (HFS), Low-Fidelity Simulation (LFS) used in adult Basic Life Support (BLS) training on the knowledge, skills, self-efficacy, and satisfaction levels of lay rescuers who are not health professionals.
- Detailed Description
The study population included Ministry of Health personnel, and the sample comprised participants of the certified BLS training held on December 3-6, 2023. Sample size was calculated using G\*Power (v3.1.9), based on a medium effect size (d = 0.25), with α = 0.05, power = 0.95, three groups, and three time points. The analysis indicated a minimum of 54 participants; accounting for possible dropouts, 21 individuals were included per group, totaling 63 volunteers. The data collection instruments included the Descriptive Characteristics Form, the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), the BLS Knowledge Level Assessment Form, the BLS Skills Evaluation Form, the BLS Self-Efficacy Questionnaire, and the BLS Training Satisfaction Survey.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Basic Life Support (BLS) Knowledge Level Evaluation 3 months 20 multiple-choice questionnaires aimed at measuring the BLS knowledge level prepared by the researcher in line with the relevant literature. It is evaluated on the basis of the highest 20 and the lowest 0 points. Getting high scores from the questions indicates a high level of BLS knowledge. Application process; pre-test, post-training post-test and 3-month post-test.
Basic Life Support Application Skill 3 months Basic Life Support Application Skill Form and CPR effectiveness : BLS skill evaluation form used by the Ministry of Health. It consists of 11 questions. The highest score is 20 and the lowest is 0. Getting high scores from the questions indicates a high level of BLS skill level. CPR effectiveness (compression rate, depth and chest recoil) will be measured via a QCPR manikin.
Application process; post-training test and 3-month post-test.Basic Life Support Self-Efficacy 3 months It was created to measure self-efficacy in emergency CPR, based on the General Self-Efficacy Scale. 4 items are 7-point Likert type. Getting high scores on the items indicates a high level of general self-efficacy. Application process; post-training test and 3-month post-test.
Basic Life Support Training Satisfaction 3 days A choice will be made between 0 and 10. "0" indicates I am not satisfied at all, "10" indicates I am very satisfied. Application process; post-training testing.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method General Self-Efficacy Scale (GÖYS) 3 days The number of items is 10. The scale was prepared as a 4-point Likert type. Getting high scores on the items indicates a high level of general self-efficacy. Application process; pre-training test.
