Brief Summary

Background: This study, in contrast to the previous studies, generated a scenario of fatigue in an earthquake scenario and aimed to measure the effect of fatigue on the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performed by paramedics in a debris course. Methods: The study was designed as a randomized controlled trial. The sample, consisting of 84 paramedic students, was randomly assigned as 42 control and 42 experimental groups. Fatigue was created in the participants by rehearsing the process of removing and transporting earthquake victims from the rubble through the prepared track. A personal information form and a CPR measurement form were used to obtain the data. The simulator was used to evaluate the accuracy of CPR. The collected data were analysed with the statistical program.
