NCT07368452

Brief Summary

This randomized educational trial compared a structured video-based Basic Life Support (BLS) training program with simulation-based BLS training among fourth-year medical students. Participants were allocated to one of the two training formats and completed a BLS knowledge test before and immediately after training. Performance was assessed using an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) conducted 3 weeks after training. The primary outcome was OSCE performance at 3 weeks, and secondary outcomes included knowledge test scores and knowledge gain.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • OSCE performance score

    Total score obtained on a standardized Basic Life Support (BLS) Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) checklist. Higher scores indicate better performance.

    3 weeks after training

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • BLS knowledge test score (pre-test)

    Baseline (before training)

  • BLS knowledge test score (post-test)

    Immediately after training

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Knowledge gain

    From baseline to immediately after training

Study Arms (2)

Video-based BLS training

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants received a structured video-based Basic Life Support (BLS) training module covering adult CPR and AED use, delivered as standardized instructional videos. After viewing the module, participants completed the planned practice session(s) according to the curriculum and subsequently underwent the scheduled assessments.

Behavioral: Video-based BLS training

Simulation-based BLS training

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants received instructor-led, simulation-based Basic Life Support (BLS) training using manikins and scenario-based practice focused on adult CPR and AED use. Training was delivered according to the curriculum, followed by the scheduled assessments.

Behavioral: Simulation-based BLS training
