Comparing the effectiveness of a group-directed video instruction versus instructor-led traditional classroom instruction for learning cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills among first-year medical students: A prospective randomized controlled study.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training is inconsistent among students and the public. Existing CPR teaching courses are costly, time-consuming, and inconsistent. This study aimed to determine the association between overall CPR competency and two teaching modules, a group-directed video instruction module versus an instructor-led traditional classroom instruction module. Methods: This randomized prospective interventional study involved first year medical students of Universiti Sains Malaysia Health Campus from November 2018 until January 2019.
