Abstract

This pilot study aimed to assess the effects of high-fidelity simulation on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) self-efficacy and knowledge retention compared to case-based learning. A two-group, experimental, longitudinal design was adopted. Fifty-two undergraduate nursing students were invited to participate in the study, which was conducted between March and May 2019. The results show statistically significant differences in favor of the experimental group on both CPR knowledge retention and self-efficacy one month after training. These findings may assist nurse educators to implement high-fidelity simulation in CPR education.
