Comparison Between Self-Deliberate Practice and Directed Learning Training Methods for Basic Life Support Knowledge and High-Quality Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Skill Retention in Second-Year Medical Students 3 and 6 Months After Training.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) requires well-trained medical personnel. Multiple learning methods can be done for CPR skills training. This study aimed to compare self-deliberate practice (SDP) method and directed learning (DL) method to improve basic life support (BLS) knowledge and CPR skill performance in medical students.

Methods

This is an experimental, single-blind, randomized controlled trial study of 40 medical students from February to July 2019. Forty subjects were randomly assigned into SDP and DL groups through a voluntary sampling method. Both groups attended a 1-day course and then practiced once a month for 3 months. The DL group had practice sessions with assigned tutors, while the SDP group had to practice by themselves. Examination of BLS kn
